A detailed review of an oral surgery I never performed
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 graphic review described a jaw surgery complication in detail, naming a procedure I have never performed.
What actually happened
No patient in my records matches the account, and I cannot say publicly that it never happened without acknowledging a relationship that does not exist.
Impact
A frightening, specific story sits at the top of my results where nervous pre-surgery patients find it, and referrals dipped for a quarter.
Steps taken
I reported it repeatedly and received the standard non-answer.
