The best method has always been to ask people you trust such as your family, friends, doctors and colleagues but you are still faced withthe lack of confidentiality and scope. I mean, if you have a personal problem, you don't go telling all your friends yet how do you ask for their recommendations. It isn't a problem with minor issues like a dentist or a chiropractor but certain types of diseases make it difficult to ask for recommendations from your friends. Another hurdle is scope. I can only ask my friends and ask them to ask their friends. This is clumsy, time consuming and lacks confidentiality.

Credible reviews from people you know and trust!
It seems that every doctor that I see has an award of Best Doctor on their wall. There is no shortage of listings, reviews, and rankings on best doctors, both online and in print. The walls in doctors offices are not large enough to display all the wards yet the lack of credibility persists. You don't know who is doing the reviews, or who is ranking the doctors.
There are a dozen leading websites that rate and compare doctors. The first problem that patients looking for doctors are faced with is fraud. Most of these sites don't even require that users log in. Some allow anyone to rate any doctor with a single click. They can also rate as often as they like. This only generates worthless ratings. Sites that take the next step of making users log in only require that you provide an email address which does little to reduce fraud. The second issue with these leading doctors rating websites is who is rating these doctors? Do I trust my health and potentially my children's lives to some random star rating from anonymous internet users? No.
Magazines promising to help you find the best doctors always generate sales but fail to deliver on their promise. Print media is so limited since you cannot compare doctors, check credentials or perform further research.
