Many of my reactions as a consumer come in oral rather than written form. For example, a couple of months ago I left a voice message for a service manager about outstanding service I received from one of his auto technicians. While traveling last month, I spoke directly with the chef of a restaurant to compliment his dish, after telling the manager about it.
In essence, the majority of my reactions as a consumer -- whether published online, or spoken, are positive. This past week was abnormal in that I published two reviews of healthcare professionals: one an Orthodontist (positive) and the other an Optometrist (negative).
The hyperlink to the Orthodontist will take you to the website associated with this business that dispenses superb care and service; in my view. I issued a glowing, albeit brief, "5 star" , Google review for them.
The hyperlink to the Optometrist, will take you to a one star review I wrote on Yelp, which reveals my poor experience.
Note to the gentleman in the Philippines emailing me about online safety and a shared desire to root out fake reviews: thanks for your messages, but I haven't been able to confirm your identity and your website is not yet functional.
