Scammed?

You know what I hate?

Doing research on doctors' reviews on here and seeing so many accounts that were created the EXACT same day as their review and NO other activity from them at all.

It makes one nervous, even if the doctors are legit, I think it gives them a really bad impression. Like they are paying people to write reviews. ESPECIALLY when you get a bunch of reviews all around the same date.

Wish there was a way that OH could make it where only ppl who have been on the site for a while or something, can review on doctors.

Oie vey.

At least you know what to look for! I was on Amazon yesterday debating between a few products. There was 1 option with 41 reviews and nearly all 5 stars. There were a slew of them thst included in the review that the company offered them a discount to leave a glowing review. Nice. Now all of them are suspect and I went with the other option. You could always post the docs name on here and see what response you get from active users. Overall, it is far too difficult to be able to research the track history is on a doctor!

Lol! Will have to keep a lookout for that Amazon thing from now on. ;) You're right, it prob would be pretty hard to track who went where. It's just frustrating.

I do plenty of research on the docs outside of reviews, but they certainly help. Especially when you need a little extra comfort.

That is why on Amazon I pay more attention to the negative reviews than the positive ones. Also, I try to order only PRIME items as I feel more protected by their return policies.

When researching it is so hard to determine who is sincere and who is just in it for another reason. I used Dr. Fernando Garcia, tijuanabariatrics.com. Let me know if you have questions.
