Sometimes. Fake reviews may be removable if they violate the review platform’s policies, such as reviews from people who were never patients, competitor attacks, harassment, threats, or coordinated review abuse. We assess the review against the platform’s rules before deciding whether removal, response strategy, or suppression makes more sense.

Rarely directly. Reddit content may be removable if it violates Reddit’s rules, includes private information, harassment, or false claims in a specific way. Most Reddit reputation problems are handled through suppression, meaning stronger assets are built to push the thread lower for searches tied to the surgeon’s name.

The word “botched” can be extremely damaging in plastic surgery search results. Whether the content can be removed depends on where it appears, whether it is opinion or a false factual claim, whether images are involved, and whether platform rules were violated. If removal is not realistic, the strategy becomes building stronger, more accurate results around your name.

Sometimes. It depends on who owns the image, where it is hosted, whether consent was given, whether the image exposes private information, and whether the platform or search engine has a valid removal policy. If the image cannot be removed, image suppression may be used to crowd it out with stronger, better optimized images.

Private, non-consensual, or misleading images may create stronger removal options depending on the facts. We first identify where the images are hosted, then assess whether privacy, copyright, consent, platform policy, or legal issues create a path to removal.

Often, yes. Public legal pages and older lawsuit-related content are not always removable, especially if they are lawfully published. Suppression focuses on building stronger, more current, more relevant assets that search engines can rank above those pages over time.

No. We are not review management software. We do not sell automated review requests, patient survey dashboards, EHR integrations, or review widgets. We help when damaging or unwanted content is already affecting what patients find online.

Yes. RealSelf and review platforms host or manage patient feedback. Review management software helps practices collect and monitor reviews. Search Result Repair focuses on what appears when people search your name, practice, or reputation online and what can be removed, suppressed, or strengthened.

It depends on the strength of the damaging result, the authority of the website hosting it, the amount of positive content already ranking, and the competitiveness of the surgeon’s name or procedure market. Some movement can happen earlier, but durable suppression usually takes months.

Yes. AI tools may summarize information from reviews, articles, forums, Reddit threads, and other online sources. If the most visible sources are negative or outdated, AI systems may repeat or amplify that information. Improving the source material around the surgeon can help over time.

Because a plastic surgeon has to avoid confirming patient relationships, procedures, outcomes, or private health information in a public response. A normal business may be able to directly dispute a claim. A medical practice has to be much more careful.

Sometimes, but the process has to be handled carefully. The review may violate platform rules if it is from a non-patient, competitor, or coordinated attack. The challenge is documenting the issue without publicly revealing private patient information or creating a larger conflict.

We first identify where the images are hosted, who controls them, and whether privacy, consent, copyright, platform policy, or misleading context creates a removal path. If removal is not realistic, image suppression may be needed.

Yes. We can review what is appearing on RealSelf, whether the content violates platform rules, whether a response strategy is needed, and whether stronger search assets should be built to reduce its visibility in branded searches.

Sometimes they can be reported or removed if they violate platform rules, involve impersonation, harassment, privacy issues, or stolen content. If they remain online and begin ranking in search, suppression and stronger asset building may be needed.

No. We do not act as your healthcare attorney. We help structure reputation strategy in a way that respects the privacy and public-response risks medical practices face. If a legal opinion is needed, the surgeon should involve qualified healthcare counsel.
