Would you feel badly enough to tell a doctor that you googled them? Or a nanny or maid? IMO, it is the right of the individual to do what they need to make sure they trust that professional. I google every single specialist before I take my son to an appointment with them - the difference with this is that you are also possibly looking for evidence in their personal life that they are trustworthy. I don't think that's a bad thing though.

My cardiologist is actually now my friend and I told her that I looked her up before our appointment and she said that shows that the patient is taking an active role in their care instead of passively accepting whomever is on the referral.
