The Healing Lab

I just received a message from «Kevin L», who has recently reviewed this business, but claimed to be the practitioner. She (he?) asked me to remove my review as it was «outdated» and she has since seen other patients with knee pain with success, and appended positive testimony from another such patient.
While a polite message, this is shady behavior, particularly the secondhand nature of the message, and close to Example 2 on this page:
It makes me wonder about recent reviews by users that have not reviewed anything else are at best, solicited, and if other less than stellar reviews have been deleted on request. Even so, I’m going to keep my review at my original 2 stars as all of this may not have any bearing on her work.
I believe my original review was fair, given my experience, and gave the practitioner the benefit of the doubt. While I’m sure other people have had positive experiences, I can only comment on mine. Unilocal makes it clear how old reviews are and tends to push older ones to the bottom (although this update will put me back at the top for now). I don’t think I’m obliged to remove the original review and I felt this update was warranted.

I had a similar experience as the other reviewers. I walked in expecting to pay $ 75 and, instead, was presented with a package for over $ 900. I declined her services and refused her incredibly overpriced «herbs», at which point she definitively diagnosed me with a fairly serious condition and told me my choices were to treat with her or have surgery. She assured me that for the low cost of $ 950, plus herbs, she could «cure» me. Highly unprofessional!
