[quote=Anonymous]   I got duped. A while back, I took my daughter to an allergist who had rave reviews and was very disappointed in many ways including the long wait. I never actually got  to see the allergist and was instead stuck with a very nice medical assistant-or NP who answered a lot of questions with "the doctor will have to answer that" even though I was informed we would not see the doctor at this visit. I have found good NPs and have scheduled directly with them, but in this case I was lead to believe my appointment was with the doctor and in the past NPs or MAs would answer my questions.They were going to turn it into many visits for the prize of actually meeting the doctor. Mentioned the experience to another mom and she said "didn't you read the reviews?" Apparently all this and more was in the negative reviews of this doctor years ago. I didn't find ANY of it and we have been on the wait-list for quite a while to see a different allergist who will definitely be the person I see according the receptionist who also seemed to know the issue at the other place.

So clearly I should have asked around, but what are your tips to recognize fake reviews?

I noticed there were a lot of reviews all within a short time period (even a fair amount within the same few weeks) whereas usually reviews are spread out more. Other tips?[/quote]
