Roetzel HealthLaw HotSpot® is a podcast and YouTube channel for physicians and health professionals that covers the legal issues and trends that affect the health care industry. 

More patients than ever admit to choosing their health care providers based on what they read online. This means that false and misleading reviews which appear online can significantly impact a health care provider’s reputation. In this episode, host Ericka Adler, Roetzel shareholder and Health Law Practice Group Leader, is joined by Roetzel litigation attorneys Marc Kallish and Julia Mohan to discuss which type of online reviews are actionable under defamation and libel laws, and what can be done to identify the offending poster, remove the false statements, repair the providers’ reputation, and compensate the provider for reputational damage caused by misinformation and damaging comments.
