Aesthetic Facial Plastic Surgery | Dr. Philip Young of Bellevue | Seattle discusses Review websites like Yelp, Real Self, Rate MDs, Insider Pages, etc. We just wanted to add a post on some of these review sites that we have been hearing about. Some of my colleagues have discussed this issue before and we are just bringing it up because our patients had questions about them. Reviews can be a good way to get to know someone. But as you know there are a lot of entities out there and you can never be sure who you are listening too. I generally tell people to be weary of review sites. These sites have at least one function and that is to carry out a business. Some of my colleagues have told me that some of the reviews sites are like “internet mafia” and are set up to harass doctors and get them to pay them money. This is something that I have heard but I don’t know exactly what they are all about. When I read these reviews I see that there is a lot of false information on them. But doctors are not able to make comments due to privacy acts etc. So many times doctors hands are tied behind there backs. I have done some research on them and have found that there are a lot of legal cases that are brought up by doctors who are fighting these review sites and winning. I have also heard that sometimes these reviews are written by competing doctors to give other doctors bad reputations so that they can get busier. We will do our best to stay out of this area of medicine and concentrate on doing the right thing.
Our Mission is to deliver unwavering quality care to improve people’s lives through Facial Plastic Surgery and the YoungVitalizer.
