DODGY WEBSITE AS DOCTORS PAY THEM TO REMOVE NEGATIVE REVIEWS.
The title say's it all. They advertise that they won't take down negative reviews, that's a load of rubbish. Doctors can pay to remove negative comments about them. RateMDs are as dodgy as the Doctors who they let remove negative reviews.

⚠️ This site deletes negative comments
⚠️ This site deletes negative comments! They have blocked many ppl too. What’s the point of having it to refer to if it’s full of bot like untrue information too.. Warming!

Warning!
I had gynecomastia surgery with Dr. Brian Bruggeman at Airsculpt in Scottsdale nearly a year ago, and my experience has been extremely disappointing. My post-op appointments were rescheduled four times, requiring me to take time off work each time. When I was finally seen, I pointed out that a significant amount of tissue remained, which he acknowledged. A revision surgery was scheduled, but the day before, I discovered it had been canceled without any notice.
I made repeated attempts to resolve the issue with the office, but my concerns were ignored. This entire experience has been stressful, unprofessional, and has negatively impacted my mental health. I cannot recommend Dr. Bruggeman or his office based on my experience.

Bad attitude and bed manners and lack of communication
My children took there child which is still an infant to Dr Zechner a peadiatrian at Linnmed hospital. From the receptionist name Ina they already experienced a attitude and rudeness. When they went into the consulting room it just continued. Dr Zechner presented a bad bedmanners and was unprofessional, unfriendly and plain rude. She didn't explained her possible diagnoses and what the treatment she suggest. When she was admitted for the few days she did not speak to them, they had to asked the staff. They would have seen her once a day if they were lucky. And the problem is a lot of the public is complaining about her and the receptionist. And my concern is that a two month baby can't tell you what the Dr said. Her mother will be asked for coffee and what will want to eat, she will be happy if she do get it. Unbelievable they don't asked for there payments.

Dr Alex Koefman
I had a bungled surgery by a neurosurgeon Dr Alex Koefman. At greenslopes hospital Brisbane, Australia.
I had been diagnosed with spinal stenosis.
He was friendly and told me he would improve my quality of life, by fusing my lumbar spine L4-5. Plif surgery.
I had the surgery and I was in recovery when Dr Koefman came in and said’ she has to go back to theatre, because I have left something inside’.
Returned to theatre and given more anaesthetic and then I remember being back in recovery and I heard a nurse say’ she has lost a lot of blood, then I had a transfusion which used 2 bags ( units), from there to my hospital bed. Dr Koefman came to see me next day , and said the surgery was a success, but never mentioned that I had two surgeries in one day.
He Never never came to see me again but another doctor came to say he was there to represent Dr Koefman and report back.
I was in hospital for a week in pain and discomfort. On discharge I had 28 staples removed and skin folds above the incision , and now have worse pain than before . I have had to have plastic reconstructive surgery to repair the skin folds.
That surgeon asked ‘ who did this to you ?’
Currently I can’t stand for more than 15 minutes, and walking is difficult and I have balance issues .
An orthopaedic surgeon said I have sagittal balance, which has caused my walking gait to change.
I have a wheelie walker, and cane, and walk slightly hunched over, and wear a back brace to keep my back straight as possible.
I’ve had to see pain specialists who have done nerve ablation to no avail.
My quality of life has been diminished. Most of the day is spent lying down to relieve pain I take opioid for some relief, and my GP applied for a disability parking permit which I have as permanent. I also receive home help from the government.
The original fusion has not fused and now I need to have revision surgery.
I made an account with Ratemd and posted a review, and it was deleted. I was aware to tell the truth, and stick to the facts by my solicitor, which I did, yet the post was deleted. I read their terms and conditions and saw a reason why this might have happened, so tried to post another one similar to this, but they wouldn’t let me post it because ‘ you have already done a review on this doctor’…every time I tried to contact Ratemd I only got an automated response. This doctor has a ‘tick’ against his name which apparently means he can be notified of any review. So Ratemd is a useless website for the patient who is making a negative review
Everything I have said is accurate and I have all paperwork , including statements from Medicare that Dr Koefman made claims on both operations on the same day.

WARNING!
WARNING! Dr. Sachse at Broward Plastics, Fort Lauderdale, left my face and ears scarred and disfigured. Asked for a MINI facelift to smooth out wrinkles around my mouth and neck. He said I “needed a FULL facelift to fix that". He worked alone with his secretary coming in to fetch some supplies for him, but she held my hand while he did all his cutting on both sides all at the beginning. She then returned to her reception desk. Procedure was excruciatingly painful. Ear pain lasting 3 weeks - just lumpy tissue now. I had to pay for a FULL facelift, but contrary to Medical literature he now claims full facelifts do not address the mouth and neck areas. Why did he say he could do this? He offered to fix the large crease he left in my earlobe, but after all this damage he will never touch me again. I require revisions to correct his mess. I was cheated. I’m pleased to share my photos. Ph: 416-483-7100.
