Local Guide in the South Bay

My Google Maps Contributions in San Jose, California

In the past two years, I have transitioned as a general and passive consumer of Google Map content to a more active reviewer as I clearly see the benefits of crowd sourced content. Reviews from others on this platform has helped me more than once to screen certain businesses, organizations and places and that is one of the key reasons why I am returning the favor. In 2017 for example, my experience with a leading health care provider in the area obtained views in 12 thousand range, which I am quite proud of. The health care system is not as straightforward for newcomers, for example, and I have experience living in Germany and Canada to give valuable insights on this topic. The intent is not to criticize one system over another but rather to breakdown the experience in a practical manner (i.e., to recommend those providers who deserve loads of accolades while providing hints about those organizations which do not fit my high requirements coming from more public funded options). Compared to my peers, I would rate my written style higher in the sense there are real life lessons meant to save dollars and cents from making the wrong decisions. Those who come across my reviews are set to avoid pitfalls and benefit from making informed decisions. Every view and like of my contributions on Google Maps is a reason for joy.
