How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

CONTINUED LEFT FACIAL PAIN AND LEFT PINNA PAIN - surgery by Robert Guyette, M.D.
On 7 April 2016, I was informed my insurance, United Health Care, will not cover the neuromodulator for my atypical facial pain. There was a peer to peer review by my neurosurgeon, Dr. Ponce at Barrow Neurologic and whomever they have at United Health Care. There are medical trials showing that in fact, the procedure is usually 100% effective in relieving the pain. Unfortunate. Obamacare...thanks for that. And, UHC. Not so much. And Robert Guyette, M.D.? You are not qualified to perform facial plastic surgery. You are not board certified in facial plastic surgery. It was my mistake to go to you, even though my physician sister recommended you. I should have done my own homework.
I have written to various government clinical trials and have not heard back. I believe my goose is cooked so to speak.

Dr. Guyette and resultant poor rhytidectomy update
Damage to the auriculotemporal nerve during the rhytidectomy has also shown a shrunken and fatty parotid gland on MRI.
The tinnitus caused by my ears not being protected during a 3T MRI and no panic bulb to notify the tech is still of great issue, too.
I am attempting to enter into a clinical trial involving lidocaine infusion for chronic pain.
My trial with the neuromodulator is scheduled for the end of April 2016.
