NY surgeon removed from gynecomastia.org

[merle]

After a great deal of consideration, I have decided to remove NY surgeon doctor from the gynecomastia.org website and boards. I have been deeply troubled for some time about issues relating to the vast number of postings on the boards about him. It is simply not statistically possible for one doctor on this site to have more glowing testimonials than all of the other doctors combined unless they are false postings and/or there is some organized effort to make it happen.

There are many fine surgeons on this site who specialize in gynecomastia surgery and there will be more. They are all playing by the same ethical rules. I am unwilling to have this site spammed by anyone.

I am posting this to simply let you know why he is not on the site and why most if not all postings by or about him are being removed.

I know that there are legitimate testimonials on the site and it is unfortunate that they will be removed as well, but that is the consequence of what I consider to be unacceptable behavior.

This is the last word on the topic, posts complaining about my decision will be removed and his name will not be allowed to be posted. Any attempts to disrupt the boards will result in the member being banned as well.

I have never had to take this drastic of action before and I hope that I never will have to again. This decision was not made lightly nor with any joy and I deem it a necessary action to protect the integrity of gynecomastia.org.
