A false claim of a botched implant I never placed that way
This account was submitted by a healthcare provider and de-identified before publication. Details that could identify a patient or practice have been removed, and it is shared with the provider’s consent.
What was posted
A review stated as fact that I had "botched an implant," a specific and false clinical claim.
What actually happened
I know the actual outcome, but correcting it publicly would disclose the patient's care.
Impact
On a surgeon's profile it reached most of the patients considering me.
Steps taken
Counsel confirmed the reviewer was effectively out of reach.
