slander on yahoo locals

The Accused:
"M" (patient of our office),
Description:

I manage a pain management practice and unfortunately I often have to give patients the unhappy news---that they owe us money. A patient posted this review, including my name on yahoo locals. They posted as user "M." Of course, I know who this person is, but their email address is not shown on the posting. I have complained to yahoo on 2 different occasions and have only gotten a canned response saying they would research it. I can not get a person on the phone at yahoo and I want to have this listing removed. It's slanderous. Here is the posting (I copied it, so it is word for word, exactly as posted):

I have to say that Dr. Cable is a good doctor and the nurses are nice and were always polite to me when I came into the office. However, Lynn, the woman who handles the insurance in that office is the most rude, hateful and incompetent person I have ever had to deal with when it comes to handling insurance claims. I have been to countless doctors and while some of the doctors were no where near as exceptional as Dr. Cable most certainly is, I have never been treated with such disrespect and down right nastiness by an office staff member. Dr. Cable's knowledge and skills are incomparable. However, due to the outrageous, abhorrent, and down right spiteful treatment I received from this woman while being a patient, I was forced to seek out another doctor.

If Yahoo! has information on their web site that is slanderous about you, and they're not handling your requests to remove it, then you need to get a lawyer to write them a registered letter demanding that they remove it immediately.

A properly qualified lawyer will also advise you on what the possible outcomes will be, and what options you'll have at that point.

I look at it this way if you have a few bad reviews so be it oh well!! Slander is everywhere!! However if you use your knowledge wisely and are not a horrible Dr s office like a few I know then you say to your self ok a few bad reviews makes me appear to be normal which Iam. If you are always worried about looking perfect then that means you got something to hide. Just look at the other posting in the Heathcare Section here thats whats up they have other Drs far worse chin up this is not so bad, this is a crumb on your blouse compaired to the others I just read. Hope I helped you dont need No lawyers thats a headache thats like being a grown-up tattle tale!
