And lolagrace is right - the best way to be sure you're hiring someone with whom you'll click is personal word of mouth. My best relationships with any professional have come from personal referrals.

I have not had particularly good luck with word of mouth referrals for any sort of md or therapist, but perhaps I have gone for such different reasons than the person referring that is was bound to be a mismatch.
I also think sometimes the sites put constraints on the reviewer(number of words or slots to fill in sorts of things) as to leave the reviews badly written or odd.
