Remove Negative RateMDs Reviews. Pay Only After Removal.

A family medicine physician saw her RateMDs rating collapse from 4.4 to 1.8 after four one-star reviews appeared within two weeks, all from accounts with zero prior history. Cross-referencing timestamps with a terminated staff member's final day, Reputation Resolutions identified behavioral signals consistent with a coordinated campaign. We built a documented removal case citing coordinated inauthentic behavior and non-patient origin for each review.

A psychiatrist had a single review claiming he had 'lost his medical license' and 'been investigated for fraud', neither of which was true. Two prior self-submitted platform flags were automatically rejected. Reputation Resolutions built a formal written case documenting the specific false factual claims, their demonstrably false nature, and their violation of RateMDs' defamation policy. Removed on first formal submission in 21 days.

Yes, when a review violates RateMDs' Terms of Use or applicable legal standards. Reputation Resolutions evaluates each review individually and tells you during a free consultation whether yours qualifies before you agree to anything.

Yes. Reporting a policy-violating review through a platform's own process is the route the platform provides, and Reputation Resolutions operates through RateMDs' documented policy violation process and legal channels.

Clear grounds such as a rating on the wrong provider's profile may move faster than cases that need more documentation. Reputation Resolutions tells you what to expect for your reviews during the free consultation, keeps you updated, and collects nothing until a review is confirmed removed.

If a review does not meet the removal threshold, we tell you during the free consultation before you spend anything, and we implement strategies that reduce the review's influence on AI-generated physician recommendations from tools like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews.

A basic RateMDs flag gives moderators little to go on. Reputation Resolutions builds a formal written case citing specific RateMDs policy language with supporting evidence, so the person reviewing it does not have to guess what is wrong with the rating.

A denial is not the end of the case. Reputation Resolutions treats an initial denial as stage one of an escalation process. Where the case still has merit, we respond with additional evidence. We do not bill additional fees during escalation. You only pay when the review is confirmed removed.

RateMDs lists repeated or duplicate posts among its grounds for removal, so a repeat post may itself be reportable.

They can. AI tools including ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Gemini can pull from physician review platforms when answering patient queries about local providers. Removing a review that breaks the rules takes it out of that source too.

No. RateMDs removes feedback that contains profanity, is spam, or violates its Terms of Use, and those Terms cover hateful or threatening language, repeated or duplicate posts, hearsay or another patient's experience, personal information, and serious accusations of unlawful activity. A review that fits one of those, with evidence, has a case, and we tell you which of yours do before you commit.

Often. Self-submitted flags can fail because the reason chosen did not fit, or nothing was supplied to back it up. If the review breaks a RateMDs rule, rebuilding the case with the right ground and supporting documentation can still work.

It can help. A review that clearly describes a different physician, a different practice, or a specialty that does not match your profile is not a first-hand account of your care, and RateMDs' Terms of Use cover hearsay and another patient's experience. We document the mismatch explicitly as the primary ground.

Check RateMDs' current policy for any exceptions. What Reputation Resolutions does is remove individual reviews that violate platform policies and build a stronger overall profile over time.

Not anymore, and it's worth knowing the history. RateMDs says it previously offered a feature that let subscribed providers hide up to three reviews, and that the feature was discontinued in early 2019. RateMDs also says no provider can pay to have unfavourable feedback removed. Any service implying you can quietly pay the platform to bury reviews is describing something RateMDs says does not exist. What does work is the documented policy-violation route: reviews that are fake, defamatory, or guideline-violating can be reported with evidence through RateMDs' own process, which is what we file.

In most cases we advise waiting, and we advise on the right approach for each disputed review and handle all dispute communications.

Yes, with a short, generic reply. Never confirm that the author was a patient or reference their care, and invite the person to contact the office offline. During an active removal dispute, the safest course is usually not to respond at all, and we advise on or draft a response for you.

Before any legal step, it is worth finding out whether the review simply breaks a RateMDs rule, which is the route we handle and usually the fastest one.

Pricing depends on the number of reviews being disputed and the complexity of each case. Reputation Resolutions provides a detailed, transparent quote during your free consultation with no hidden fees and no upfront payment. Removal is results-based: nothing is owed for a review that stays up.
