Healthgrades
Healthgrades lets patients search for doctors, read verified reviews, view malpractice history, and book appointments directly on its US health platform.
What is Healthgrades?
Healthgrades has been helping patients find and evaluate healthcare providers for more than two decades, building one of the most comprehensive physician and hospital rating databases in the United States. Founded in 1998, the platform aggregates data from state medical boards, hospital quality reports, malpractice records, and patient reviews to provide profiles for hundreds of thousands of doctors, dentists, hospitals, and surgery centers. Patients use Healthgrades to research providers before choosing a doctor, read and submit reviews, and in markets where it is available, book appointments directly through the platform without calling the provider's office.
Healthgrades' architecture combines a content management layer for physician and facility profiles, a patient review ingestion and display system, appointment booking integrations with healthcare scheduling platforms (such as those from Kyruus or ZocDoc for some providers), and a user account system for patients who wish to save providers or receive appointment reminders. The platform also operates a clinical decision support division through its RealPage and Veradigm integrations, and hospital clients use Healthgrades data for quality benchmarking. The consumer-facing site handles substantial search engine traffic, meaning backend degradations affect both direct users and patients arriving via Google search.
Outages at Healthgrades manifest in a few common patterns. Provider search returns no results or blank pages, preventing patients from finding doctors in their area or specialty. Physician profile pages fail to load or display incomplete data — missing ratings, contact information, or credentials. The appointment booking flow breaks at the calendar step, leaving patients unable to request a visit. Login fails for users who have saved providers or pending appointments in their account. Patient review submission forms error out. In scenarios where a hospital's marketing or scheduling operations depend on Healthgrades integrations, backend API failures affect the provider's patient acquisition workflows.
Outage.gg tracks Healthgrades availability using reports from patients and healthcare organizations. If provider search is broken, profiles are not loading, or appointment booking is failing, the live status page shows whether the disruption is widespread.
