Can a RateMDs review be removed?

Yes — but only reviews that violate RateMDs's published content policy. Honest opinions from real customers generally stay up. Our process identifies the specific policy category, documents the evidence, and submits the report through the correct RateMDs channel.

What if RateMDs denies the removal request?

First-pass denials are common. We appeal with additional evidence or a corrected policy citation, and — where the platform offers one — escalate through the official support channel.

How much does RateMDs review removal cost?

Pay $497 upfront per item, or choose Pay upon removal for $547 per item with $0 due today. Pay upfront. If the specific item is not removed within 90 days of payment, we refund the removal fee to your original payment method. No claim or form needed. We review and issue it within 5 business days. Complex cases involving defamation, legal escalation, coordinated attacks, or many items across platforms are quoted individually through the Custom Care Plan, with their own timeline.

RateMDs review removal

Flag RateMDs ratings that break the platform's rating-system rules — astroturfing, coordinated negative spam, duplicate posts, and second-hand hearsay.

RateMDs's content policy

RateMDs publishes its content policy at https://help.ratemds.com/support/solutions/articles/61000318469-the-ratemds-rating-system. Reviews that fall inside a policy category can be reported and, with the right evidence, removed. Reviews that comply with the policy stay up — no service can force RateMDs to remove policy-compliant content.

Inappropriate, hateful, or threatening language

Spamming (coordinated negative ratings)
