 
Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat differentiates SurgeonCheck from other review sites? Unlike other review sites, SurgeonCheck is concerned solely with patient safety. SurgeonCheck's mission is to identify potentially dangerous surgeons. Please see our About Us page for more details. What is the significance of a red flag? A red flag indicates that a reviewer has stated that the doctor in question poses an unacceptably high risk and should be avoided at all costs. How can I add photos? Do you have forums? Photos cannot be added at this time. We hope to enable this functionality soon. As for forums, we have no plans of introducing forums as the manpower to moderate them isn't available. Why should I sponsor SurgeonCheck? Our sponsors help support a resource that contributes to the safety of patients, prevents business going to potentially dangerous surgeons, and thusly enhances the overall safety record of the plastic surgery industry. This is good for all plastic surgeons. In addition, all sponsors of SurgeonCheck receive a free advertisment on the front page of our site. SurgeonCheck receives web traffic from customers interested in plastic surgery, and as such you will benefit from targetted web traffic. Can I post a rebuttal to a negative review? SurgeonCheck is not intended as a discussion forum where doctors and patients can discuss their issues. SurgeonCheck is intended solely as a resource to help identify potentially dangerous physicians. Can you release the identity of the reviewer? No. If a review has been added anonymously, there is no way for us to find out the identity of the reviewer. We wouldn't give out such information if we had it, but in any case we cannot provide what we do not have. Is there a risk that a negative review was posted by a competitor? Yes. However, fake negative reviews can be put to the test by our ProofDemand service. What can I do if a negative review has been added about me? If the review is true, then there is nothing you can do. Unlike consumer advocacy sites, which may deal with such issues as defective products or late delivery of mail order items, SurgeonCheck deals only with matters of life and death, and reviews cannot be made to go away by means of discussion between the doctor and the patient, or a settlement between the doctor and the patient. If the review is false or exaggerated, you may avail of SurgeonCheck's ProofDemand service. What is ProofDemand? ProofDemand is a service which surgeons who were the subject of negative reviews and red flags can avail of. The reviewer is required to present proof. For details on how ProofDemand works, see the page about ProofDemand. Can I become a sponsor even if I have been red-flagged? Yes. There is a clear distinction between advertisements and the reviews, so there is no conflict with our mission. Can I prevent negative reviews from being added about me? No, but you can prevent false reviews from being added about you by availing of our EvidenceFirst service. What is EvidenceFirst EvidenceFirst requires reviewers to back their claims up with documentary evidence when posting a review. For more information, see the page about EvidenceFirst Who is behind SurgeonCheck? Someone whose sister was permanently damaged by a botched plastic surgery operation. Subsequent research revealed that a large number of patients die needlessly at the hands of incompetent plastic surgeons. Can I sue SurgeonCheck You can try but it won't get you anywhere as SurgeonCheck is merely a venue provider and not responsible in any way for the reviews. You may want to discuss your case with a third-party legal expert before paying your lawyer to pursue a case against us.
