The RateMDs Review Removal Service That Takes Down the Ratings Other Agencies Can’t.

RateMDs removes a rating only when it breaks its Terms of Use, and a low rating alone is never a reason. Ratings that use hearsay, name staff or other providers, accuse you of unlawful activity, flood the profile or share phone numbers or emails can be flagged. A real patient’s honest negative experience stays up. A free assessment shows which of your ratings qualify.

RateMDs removes or holds back a rating that violates its Terms of Use. Its published reasons include hateful or threatening language, spam or astroturfing floods, duplicate posts, secondhand stories, solicitation, staff or other providers named, contact details, vague generalizations, ratings with no personal medical experience, accusations of unlawful activity and ratings from court-appointed assessments or Independent Medical Examinations.

You flag a RateMDs rating with the flag button under the rating, then answer the pop-up prompts. Every flagged rating goes to the RateMDs Rating Validation Team, which removes it only if it breaks the Terms of Use. Pick the rule the rating actually breaks and point to the exact words. A vague flag that says the rating is unfair rarely works.

RateMDs states that its turnaround time on a flagged rating is about 3 business days. If the flag button is gone, the rating is either still waiting for review or was already reviewed and left up. Ratings can also be delayed when a profile shows irregular posting that looks like spam or astroturfing. Harder cases with several ratings take longer.

RateMDs does remove ratings that come from court-appointed assessments or Independent Medical Examinations, including workers’ compensation, insurance, disability and personal injury evaluations. Flag the rating under that reason and show it describes an evaluation, with no treatment relationship. Never send patient records to RateMDs or anyone else. We can check your IME ratings in a free assessment.

RateMDs does not accept fees for rating removal. It used to sell a feature that let subscribers hide some negative ratings, and it dropped that feature after a 2020 finding by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. Today every rating is judged against the same Terms of Use, paid account or not.

A doctor cannot delete a RateMDs profile, because RateMDs keeps provider listings as a public directory. You can ask RateMDs to correct wrong details like a home address, photo or facility. A retired doctor can ask to have the profile marked Retired, which turns off new ratings and removes it from ranking pages.

The RateMDs rating is a plain average of patient marks in four equally weighted categories: helpfulness, knowledge, punctuality and staff. Because it is a simple average, a small flood of low ratings can pull a profile down fast. That is also why getting rule-breaking ratings removed can move your average quickly.

You can respond to a RateMDs review only in general terms that confirm nothing about the person. Claim your profile to post a response, then thank the reviewer and invite them to call the office. Do not confirm they were a patient or mention a visit, treatment or bill. The HHS Office for Civil Rights has fined practices for replies that did.

Hiring help is worth it when you have several ratings, a flood, or flags that were already declined. Each flag is judged against what you sent before, so a wrong rule wastes your best shot. We match each rating to the exact published reason and tell you which ones should stay. Start with a free assessment.

The cost of RateMDs review removal depends on how many ratings qualify and how hard each one is. A single clear hearsay rating takes less work than a spam flood or a rating that was already declined. We give you a free assessment first, then a price before any work starts.

No one can guarantee RateMDs review removal, because the RateMDs Rating Validation Team makes every decision. Be careful with anyone who promises one. What we commit to is the work: every rating matched to a real removal reason, flagged with care, and a straight answer on your chances before you pay.
