In the US and other countries.

e.g. could I create a web site where I say that I rate Doctor X 70/100 and Doctor Y 75/100, without any other explanation?

What if I do provide an explanation?

What if I rated mechanics instead of medical doctors?

It is legal. You can see that US News has a widely publicized list of best hospitals in the US. The issue is not so much the legality, as the legal liability that the publisher of such a list may incur if its not backed up by research, or the makes unsubstantiated claims, and someone is hurt by medical malpractice by the top 10 doctor on that list.
