“Very Happy for new toes”

Rosemary G.
11/22/20

Dr. Peter Blume of New Haven, Ct. Took my two toes from a previous surgery and corrected them. He knew that with my other medical problems (RA) just what he had to do. He explained the procedure got me in surgery quickly and corrected them. I even got a x-ray of before and after for my records. It's so nice to find a doctor who understand your problem. Everyone of his staff was pleasant and helpful with questions. Its so nice to find a doctor who knows what and how to do things.

I left a negative review along with 9 others... guess which reviews are currently showing on RateMd. I guess if people have similar experiences they must all be lying. Only positive posts allowe I guess. Fake representation of who doctors really are.

I have seen that Rate MD has removed several reviews of a certain doctor which are very serious and indicates that the doctor has divulged improperly medical information of her patient to another, without informing that patient and obtaining her informed consent. Rate MD proclaims that it does not remove reviews but I am witness to that it has indeed colluded with this doctor to remove negative reviews from various vulnerable patients concerned by her illegal and inappropriate behaviour, criminal in nature. This doctor's name is Dr. Cynthia Baxter and I am also a victim of her criminality and I saw others who left seriously concerning reviews that speak to criminal behaviour, being silenced by Rate MD, which is very concerning. CPSA in collusion with Rate MD's appear to run a network of promoting criminal behaviour and complete lack of ethics.

Tip for consumers:
Rate MD's is erasing the true picture of this doctor who by now, should be in jail for her multiple crimes.

Products used:
This doctor named Dr. Cynthia Baxter diagnosed me in my absence, without once consulting me or reviewing my clinical notes and threw me out of my career. Other friends and acquaintances in the Calgary Police Service have advised that she diagnosed them in their absence because she took bribes from those who sexually harassed and assaulted them.

Dr. Quan and his staff were professional in all aspects of dealing with patients. His work was outstanding, directions on wound care were clearly understood. Dr. Quan is a very personable surgeon who makes contact with patients very comfortable. My wife had surgery on her face several years ago and has no markings from it at all. With that in mind, I was very comfortable with him working on my face. I highly recommend him. I was blessed by the good Lord to have found him for this surgery.

This site is part of social media fake news(reviews). How reliable are anonymous reviews when you do not even need a name or email address to write a review? Most of them are fake, negative or positive. You can find healthcare professional with over 300 reviews almost every week, and 95% positive! Clearly written to advertise. It should stop spreading false information about healthcare people.

I started on COPD Herbal treatment from Ultimate Life Clinic, the treatment worked incredibly for my lungs condition. I used the herbal treatment for almost 4 months, it reversed my COPD. My severe shortness of breath, dry cough, chest tightness gradually disappeared. Reach Ultimate Life Clinic via their website at www.ultimatelifeclinic.com. I can breathe much better and It feels comfortable!

I am a general dentist that has had a great experience with Summit Medical and Orthopedics. They are all very professional, knowledgeable and friendly and the wait is minimal if at all. Facilities are immaculate.
Linda Parisi, PA-C and Andrew Beharrie MD made me feel so comfortable. The treatment provided by both of them was nothing less than excellent. I highly recommend Linda Parisi internal medicine and Dr Beharrie orthopedic medicine. Thank you Summit medical!

Just trying to use the website itself is already a warning. The site consume a ridiculous amount of memory and energy in large part because its objective seems to be to sell ads by drawing users. The service itself is awful only in part because it is such a slow, lumbering memory-hogging behemoth, but mostly because the search results aren't nearly precise enough (in a large city like Toronto) to allow a user to easily find a local MD. In addition, while reviewers (patients) may be able to ascertain likability there seems to be little to no real ability to critically evaluate any given MD.

RateMDs likes to delete reviews that they deem aren't valid or truthful, when it's very difficult to determine what isn't valid or truthful.

Disgusting.

Stay away from this website.

The problem with this website is that fake reviews are published so it is impossible to tell what is genuine and what is fake. They have an extensive list of FAQs saying how they are protected from anyone who requests reviews to be removed, that they will not respond to demand letters and will not remove names of any individuals listed on the site unless they are dead, and that individuals outside of the US have not standing to request reviews be removed. It is a smear site for individuals with agenda's who do not want to be identified.

If reviews can be hidden or removed or not published at all, what is the point? I'm so sick of male logic that buying anything is okay. You are going to suffer greatly if you continue to kill women and children by drugging them senseless. Medicine is a scam, I am healed from lung cancer and COPD just using cannabis oil. They want to sell themselves as your God and the pills that keep them in fancy houses. Just die medicine you are killing the world. Everyone can be paid off even RateMDs.

My personal experience has been that some of my personal honest negative reviews which benefit the community have disappeared. Strange. Looking at other genuine review sites to promote and follow.

All it is is bad doctors paying to look like they have a clue what the hell there doing. I went to there #2 guy who I come to find out is F rated everywhere else and just PUMPED with fake reviews and of course mine disappeared. Seems like all you need to pay is 350$ a month to get to be a top doctor and erase bad reviews so people can keep getting butchered. This by far is the worst site of them all.

I was referred to Dr. Nickel by my out-of-state specialist, who has been treating me for a rare genetic disorder. I needed a local allergist's help to file for insurance coverage and later administer injections.
Dr. Nickel barely listened to me. Then his staff took a month to file the request for coverage with our insurance company (and come to find out later - under a wrong diagnosis code)! When it was denied, I was told they would file an appeal. For the following 5 weeks I spoke with the clinic's staff, both in person and over the phone, and was assured that the appeal was "well underway". Imagine my shock when I found out that the appeal had never been filed. Dr. Nickel didn't deem it worth his time.
Because of Dr. Nickel's lack of compassion, professionalism and integrity I am months into waiting for the treatment, and not a step closer to getting it.

They posted my review of a doctor and then took it down and won't allow any more reviews that I've posted about him to display. While other sites have the integrity to tell doctors that as long as reviews are within the guidelines they cannot be taken down, this site cowers to doctors. Cannot trust reviews on RateMDs

Me and 2 of my girlfriends spent 2 weeks trying to post negative reviews of a doctor which we all had horrible experiences with. Our reviews were posted and then the next day were gone. Wrote to website owners about where our reviews were and no reply. Found out that doctors pay the website and can remove negative reviews of themselves and also post rave reviews about themselves. This is disgusting. Innocent people go to ratemds.com and trust the reviews about doctors and it's a big scam. Stay away. You will not get the true story about a doctor on ratemds.com.

Negative review rated a "1" ended up a "3" , how does that happen? No credibility! I rated Dr. Patel 1, because she was lackadaisical about a long term serious infection that was not healing. When l requested to have a new physician, l was lambasted by the office manager, who said l was not a good fit for their office. So l was fired by the practice for complaining about my care. In the middle of a serious infection, l had to hunt and for a new Doctor.

He is a very caring doctor. He takes his time answering my questions, never shows he is in a rush. He gives accurate diagnosis and
prescribes medicines that work for me. He is the best doctor that I have ever had.

Posted an important review of a psychiatrist; Dr. Roger p. Feldman who practices in New York. When I went to double check my spelling & grammar, the review vanished. Just,... vanished. As did the impact of my review cautioning others about this doctor on his ratings. Haven't been able to reach ratemds.com by phone. At least they've gotten my back up so that now I'll make it my BUSINESS to get my review out in as many venues as I can. So -- if it's true that these physicians are able to control what reviews are registered, it will have undermined that little scam!

I have reached out to the company twice, with this same explanation and have received no response. This website places a healthcare providers name, APRN, PA, MD to their site based off our NPI numbers for the public to review. The goal I think is to enhance providers business, as they can ask patients to leave a review in their office. However, I do not work in a clinic in New Haven I work in the emergency department. This is clearly an emotional attack on me by a patient. Regardless the patient commented that I did not follow up, in emergency medicine we do not, we refer to primary care. She stated she was alone in the room however unfortunately during covid 19 there is a zero visitor rule. She stated do not see this doctor, I am not a doctor. Her friend also posted a negative comments about me who was not even present to witness the interaction. I believe this goes against the rules of the review and should have never been posted if so diligently reviewed by your company. You need to consider the type of providers you are exploiting on your site. I am not in private practice or trying to ramp up my patient population. In the ED I cannot choose which patients I see, they cannot choose the provider either. We are subjected to patients with an array of psychiatric diagnosis', drug seeking behaviors and you are giving them the ability to write whatever they want and that is just unfair. Most like the patient who said you should run far away is because I did not write her for narcotics and perhaps the attending did simply to get her out of the department. You do not have a good understanding of how the emergency department is set up. For private practice I could see why these reviews would be beneficial both for patients and providers. I have read other similar complaints from emergency medicine providers as well. Do you realize if I try to work in private practice one day how this will impact me as it is not differentiated the setting of this review? These websites recommend we reply to our reviews. I will not as my institution highly advises we do not directly respond to patient complaints.
I would really like my name removed from this site to prevent this in the future as I stated I am subject to a very vulnerable population but if you will not remove my name I ask that you remove these disgraceful, emotional, reviews that are not a true reflection of the environment I work in.
