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.

How long does RateMDs review removal take?

Straightforward violations can resolve within days. Contested cases and escalations can take several weeks. RateMDs controls the timeline — no service can promise a specific date.

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?

Pricing is flat-fee per removed review, with custom quoting for coordinated attacks and cross-platform cases. If we do not remove the review, the removal fee is automatically refunded.

RateMDs Review Removal

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.
