Outdated, said a review pointing to a rival surgical group

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A review called my approach outdated and steered readers to a competing group by name.

What actually happened

The strategy-like language did not read as a patient, but the platform required proof I am barred from producing.

Impact

In high-stakes surgical referrals, one such review can quietly redirect cases.

Steps taken

I brought documentation of the promotional tone and it changed nothing.
