Ratings and reviews

Very awesome that a woman of color created this for other woman of color. Cannot understand how humans who chose to become a doctor choose to only help and give the best quality of care to people of the same skin color. Through this app woman will know what places are good and which places are not. I truly believe that through this app there will be less deaths. Thank you for creating this app.

I say this is an amazing idea and I'm looking forward to this app spreading far and wide!! Where i currently live there are no reviews for hospitals or doctors yet. I shared this to a bunch of people so that should change. I'm really excited about this app!!!

Think this could be a good resource for information. I live in Arkansas and there's no information outside of 1 review. I've provided 4 reviews and still waiting for approval from almost a week ago. Good idea! But needs more people working to approve or decline reviews. I also think it should go beyond 2 years. 10 years ago I had a terrible experience, just as the woman that did the review two years ago (same hospital). Going to delete the app and check back later.
