Reiki, shamanism or even “access bar”… These practices, associated with pseudo-sciences, or even sectarian practices, are accessible on Doctolib in the same way as a classic medical consultation. Our journalist, Victor Garcia, observed this while browsing the web pages of the platform, the first French economic “unicorn” and valued at nearly 6 billion euros.
Since a first scandal in 2022, nicknamed “Doctolib-gate”, groups of practitioners have been warning about these questionable methods. They are asking for better regularization, so as not to be put on an equal footing with those they see as charlatans. In this video, Victor Garcia tells us behind the scenes of his investigation, the discovery of these pseudo-doctors, as well as Doctolib’s response to these shortcomings.
