It cant be understated how a bad review on yelp can tear your practice down and put you on the street. Figure a physician sees 16 to 22 patients a day, and if one of them tanks you you can lose everything.

Review wars are real in all retail businesses, its pretty sad.

I cannot imagine a lawyer would condone the HIPAA violation, I wonder if there are exceptions when the patient has made that information public before you (patient said she had x, and you say "We did not diagnose x") or smth.
