An ex-partner of a patient reviewed my surgery
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
The reviewer admitted they were the former partner of a patient and had never been in my care.
What actually happened
They recast a personal conflict as a complaint about my surgery, wrong on the facts.
Impact
It looked like ordinary feedback and traveled fast in a small community.
Steps taken
I reported it as a third party post and it stayed.
