RealSelfReviews of realself.com

realself is a shady website that hides or deletes negative reviews. Mediocre Doctors can pay for exposure to skew public perception. I would not trust this website at all

The site is run by crooks who will hide your reviews and violate your free speech if the doctor calls them and complains about you. Don't bother, RealSelf is all politics and drama, but if that's your cup of tea, go for it.

same as yelp. Extortion for businesses. Not legit. Whoever pays, gets the ads. Very sad

Spam emails. I’ve unsubscribed several times and still get them

Real self don't remove posts even when they don't meet their code of conduct. Evidence has been given to realself that a review has many points of false information, including false before and after pictures. The patient has then asked for £5000 to remove the false review but realself have stated they will not look at the evidence and will not remove the review.

Fake biased reviews. I wrote a review of a Dr. Who created major damage to my face. After the review had been up for three weeks the dr contacted them (she advertises there and paid big bucks) and they took my review down and blocked my account and my roommates account which was associated with the same IP address I assume. They never replied to my inquiry. They just ghosted me. I will have to spend 56k to fix the damage yet Realself removed my review which did not violate any standards ( and that is why it was published but the drs pay not the users). So do not trust this site. The drs on Realself are not good and many of the reviews are fake and/or biased. I found the dr who botched me through Realself , Stellar 5 star reviews. After being botched I looked her up on yelp and noticed she has a two star average. Through yelp I got in touch with other people who got botched. Do not trust Realself. In response to Realself: you say that you eliminated my review bc I had two accounts. that is not really how things went. You blocked the account with the review the day after the physician contacted me. How convenient. Also how convenient that you removed only the review and you refuse to remove all my other content despite multiple attempts and communication to have you remove my content! Why does my review (which had been up for a month and was not posted anywhere else) get removed a day after I spoke with the physician in question, but I have to fight you to remove everything else? So hypocritical and convenient. Btw, the physician in question advertises heavily or Realself and has lots of questionable vague reviews from users who only wrote one review of this dr. But you removed my reviews with before and after pictures that show the results. It wasn’t even a vague review : it was detailed. But guess what: if the review had remained posted (like all the other stuff i wrote and that you refuse to remove ) the dr who advertises heavily on Realself, would have stopped paying big bucks to gain exposure on your site.

I’m receiving emails from this company, showing pictures of women that have just had plastic surgery, quoting the words “THANK YOU HEALTHCARE HERO’S” Suggesting a plastic surgeon is a hero for the transformation a women’s face. I think it’s disgusting this company are exploiting the current pandemic, and taking away from the real hero’s in the NHS putting there lives on the line to save other human beings. Money grabbers, taking advantage of people’s insecurities.

As a cosmetic doctor I have been absolutely horrified by the poor customer service and true scam this website really is. We have been members for 2 years now and simply putting about 1k a month in the bin. Our customer representative is only interested in sales pitching spotlights that are a complete con in themselves. We at one point we’re spending 1.5k per month in spotlights and having about 2 enquiries a month. We received no useful advice in how to improve our conversions or service page. I could not emphasise enough that if you a doctor thinking of joining this site DO NOT. It’s a complete waste of money.
