Trustpilot is a long running website that does reviews by customers.
So it can be done.
>This all started for me about three years ago, when I left a Google review for a doctor saying I felt discriminated against. Shortly after, I got slapped with a legal threat demanding €40,000 in damages. I ended up settling and paying €1,000 in legal fees just to avoid the nightmare of going to court.
Can you post the review you wrote? (Minus the company name) As unless you wrote it very badly, not sure why you backed down.
I was speaking English, and the doctor refused to communicate with me, saying, "This is Germany and you should speak German." He then injected me with anesthesia. When I woke up, I was deeply upset and shaken by the experience.
Afterward, I tried to leave a review detailing what happened and called the treatment(not him/her) racist. The doctor rejected my review and responded by claiming, "I have people of color employees in my practice and love speaking English."
My lawyer advised me against pursuing legal action. He said it would be a long, drawn-out process that I might not win in the end. Even now, thinking about it makes me furious.
