Avvo offers an expert only medical and legal Q&A forum where people can ask questions - anonymously if need be - and receive answers from rated doctors and lawyers in their area.
The Q&A forum is backed by a professional directory which features comprehensive profiles, disciplinary records, patient and client reviews and peer endorsements; as well as the unbiased Avvo Rating for more than 90% of practicing doctors and lawyers in the U.S.
The Avvo Rating is an editorial rating assessing the probability that a physician or lawyer will handle your matter effectively, based on his or her resume. The resume scoring depends on those indicators of the professional’s quality of work, reputation and experience. The scoring ranges from 10 (“Superbâ€) all the way down to 1 (“Extreme Cautionâ€).
Launched in 2007, Avvo is privately held, with funding from private investors, Benchmark Capital, Ignition Partners and DAG Ventures. For more information, visit www.avvo.com.
