People are naturally more likely to complain about bad service that they are to praise good service. We all expect good service. Negative feedback can be beneficial to a business if handled the right way.

Most people would sign the form without understanding the meaning of it. I would be extremely worried about a doctor who is afraid of getting negative feedback and would look elsewhere.

Having one practitioner get dozens of bad reviews could arguably damage more than just that one practitioners reputation - damaging the bigger corporate as a whole... and as all corporates care about is money... well - it's not terribly surprising in that light.
