Atlanta, Georgia, April 2, 2026 – RatingsMD, a platform that helps healthcare organizations turn patient feedback into trusted, AI-ready insights that improve how they are discovered and chosen online, today announced it has been named to the 2026 Inc. Regionals List of the Fastest-Growing Private Companies in the Southeast for the second consecutive year – and the 11th fastest growing software company in the region over the past two years.
The Inc. Regionals list recognizes the fastest-growing private companies across the Southeast, based on percentage revenue growth over a two-year period.
“The honorees on this year’s Inc. Regionals list achieved exceptional growth at a time when the odds were against them. Amid ongoing economic uncertainty, they innovated, adapted, and thrived. Their resilience made them standouts in their industries and true growth engines in their regions,” said Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc.
“This recognition reflects not just our growth, but the growing urgency for healthcare organizations to adapt to how patients find care today,” said Andy Ibbotson, CEO of RatingsMD. “As discovery shifts toward AI-driven platforms, health systems need structured, trustworthy patient experience data that can be understood, surfaced, and trusted. That’s exactly what we’re building.”
Building for the Next Era of Healthcare Discovery
Over the past year, RatingsMD has expanded its platform to help healthcare organizations move beyond traditional reviews and into AI-ready patient experience data. New innovations include:
- Sentiment summaries at scale – transforming millions of patient reviews into structured insights that AI platforms can easily interpret
- Enhanced physician and location-level ratings – making it easier for search engines and AI assistants to surface relevant, high-confidence providers
- AI visibility tools for health systems – helping organizations understand how and where they appear across emerging AI-driven discovery experiences
- Two-way authority loops for LLMs – enabling health systems to publish trusted data and reinforce their presence across the broader digital ecosystem for increased AI visibility
Growth Driven by Real-World Adoption
RatingsMD’s continued recognition on the Inc. Regionals list underscores how quickly healthcare organizations are embracing solutions that improve both patient trust and digital visibility. As more patients turn to AI-powered tools to research providers, the ability to deliver structured, verified, and widely distributed patient feedback is becoming essential, not optional.
“Our focus has always been on transparency and trust,” said Ibbotson. “What’s changed is the environment. Today, that same trusted data is powering how providers show up in entirely new discovery channels.”
