These are the types of SHADY con-artists that we have to deal with in medicine in 2022. This company emails me about a "bad" review on Google... when I go to check it out, the patient's name that is listed on the review isn't even a patient associated with any physician in our practice. Surely, these companies realize that we have electronic medical records, and can quickly search the database to see who wrote it. π§
Turns out that this wasn't even a REAL patient! (no where to be found in our database)
Said company then sends me several emails about how I can pay $$$ for their services to get the bad review removed.
Basically, this fake bad review came up two days before the company emailed me the solicitation hoping they could convince me to pay them to "get bad reviews removed." π€
You can see where I am going with this... Scam company posts a fake bad review, and then tries to sell me $$$ their "services" to get this review removed. π‘ (my suspicion is that someone from the company posted the bad review, because they know that it stays on my profile forever).
I'm total aware that this type of fraud goes on.... so obviously, I wasn't falling for it. Just frustrating that they can post fake reviews and those reviews are pretty much stuck online forever. The worst part is that we really don't have any recourse...and I'm not about to give them money, because I know that some of my colleagues in the community have been affected by similar cons/scams.
We aren't perfect, and we do the best we can... but if you ever have any issue, please just let me know. I'll get with my office manager and we'll make sure it gets remedied. Lastly, but not least... please take the time to leave us a good review. Pretty much the only way we can offset these fake bad reviews, is by getting enough good reviews to keep our overall average "star" rating up.
We love getting good reviews, but we are also very responsive to criticism... Just talk to me or my office manager, so we can try to fix the issue. Our goal is to make your experience with us 5 stars every time βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ
