Realself

*** and more manipulative than YELP, that also filters/deletes true negative reviews for Businesses!! Aesthex Surgeons/kamakshi zeidler in Campbell have been butchering/scamming me and other patients that are complaining about getting abandoned after getting botched.

Other patiens who sound genuine and can corroborate their nightmares have been getting deleted by FakeSelf fake rating business!

They also remove any benign comments under their promoted shill reviews! You literally can't say anything, and they have the most joke "terms and policy" that not even themselves can explain or will when you try to ask and reason with them.

They also along with kamakshi zeidler push harmful mutilating procedures through predatory lies, brainwashing and creating dysphoria!

Now you know not to trust the five review practices they sell!

Post surgery, went on RS to find others with my complications and to find out how others got on with my symptoms. FAR too many reviews are all singing and dancing; positively gleeful with happiness at their results.

Makes you feel like your less than positive symptoms are seriously awful and as though you are a lone wolf. Now I understand why. HIGHLY misleading, skewed view of surgery given, therefore, by RS which I consider unethical. I started off giving my review about my Dr a 3/5 which sent my review to the very bottom of the list of his (100% positive reviews).

So I changed it to 5/5 (but kept my comments truthful) which sent me back up to the first in the review queue.

APPALLING site - and given the serious nature of surgery, it ought to be totally transparent to allow US to decide with whom/if we want to undergo surgery. It should be shut down.

I had the Biltmore Lift 6 months ago with Dr. Harley after finding him on RealSelf.com and seeing all the positive reviews.

The surgery itself went fine, but as early as 2 weeks after surgery I began to notice my jowls were returning. At 5 months my face was more gaunt and jowls more noticeable then before the surgery. In addition, I had post surgical complications which have required medical attention. The facelift was not only a failure but also caused large bags under my eyes which now require another surgery to fix.

Dr. Harley has never taken responsibility for the poor work nor assisted me in any way with either the medical issues or the cosmetic issued resulting from the surgery. How much have I lost so far? $6400 for the surgery, $2500 in travel expenses, $2500 in follow up medical care, and corrections.

$5000 pending for the surgical revision I have scheduled. Because of my experience I tried to update my review of the surgery online. Because it was negative, I was immediately attacked by other reviewers who were clearly friends or employees of the doctor's. Some, I found out were receiving free services.

Real Self responded by blocking my access to the site. When I asked what I had done specifically to be blocked from sharing or discussing my experience they would not tell me. I created a new profile and again attempted to post my real experience with the doctor and once it again my review was removed and I was blocked without explanation. Dr.

Harley's business is almost entirely all patients who have found him on RealSelf. I found out that 80% of the positive reviews are posted 1 week to 1.5 months after surgery before the skin laxity returns and the patient sees it did not work. Because the site removes all of the negative reviews, the public only sees positive reviews so they book their surgery and the cycle continues. Dr.

Harley and RealSelf are engaged in predatory marketing and fraud. There is an unusually high percentage of Dr. Harley's patients who end up with lip palsy from the surgery, but you will not see that posted in reviews, only in discussing the surgery privately with unhappy patients. The site should be taken down.

Plastic surgery should not be sold on "reviews" like a blender you are buying on Amazon. This is surgery - its risky, its permanent and there should be marketing regulations in place to keep predators like RealSelf and Dr. Harley from at best taking advantage of people and at worst, harming them. Please complain to the Washington Attorney General (RealSelf is based in Seattle) and to the FTC.

There are several pages out there that discuss the fraud being perpetuated by RealSelf and its doctors. I've already filed my complaints and am now seeking out journalists who may be interested in investigating it further.

I signed a contract with Real Self on advertising my of medical aesthetic services 5 months ago. Before signing the contract with them, they reassured me that I will be getting a great return from this advertising and I should not worry about getting a great response from potential patients.

I told them that I do not have time to do any work myself that hiring them to help me to boost my business. I told them that I expect them to do it themselves for the money I pay them and rather not start advertising if they expect me to do something before they take on the advertising task. One month passed, and nothing happened. The Real Self representative Melissa Wren, when I reached out to her, was reassuring me that I should wait to get the momentum.

I was patiently waiting for 4 months, but nothing happened. I received not a single call or request about my medical aesthetic services that I was offering. Meanwhile, The Real Self were really quick at collecting my money but did no advertising work at all whatsoever.

They did not show any proof that they created any ads at all.Providers of services, be aware of Real Self deceptive practices and stay away from them! Patient also be aware of this company false advertising if you see any...
