It would’ve been a much better idea to work things out otherwise.

Here’s the result, so far, of suing the reviewer:

They started with one bad review. Now they have an entire boatload of them.

One bad review may be mitigated by getting good reviews from other customers.

10 or 20 bad reviews: Not so easy.

Are the 10 to 20 bad reviews from actual customers or phantom customers posted by Yelp employees?

A lot of controlled substances require certain criteria be met in order for them to be refilled.

Based on your post your wife waited until in the office to let them know what it was for. Why didn’t she fully ask before even making the $150.00 appointment?

Blame the doctor ....but your likely culprit is the government regulation surrounding the type of ‘script.

My understanding is that she told the receptionist what the scrip was for, and that person said yes, and made the appointment, but then the doctor said no.

Most of them are from people who think it's deplorable that the company has sued this woman instead of dealing with the matter in a more positive manner.

However, it appears that at least one former customer has stepped forward among them to say they also had a bad experience:

"Let me be short and sweet. I just deleted my highly negative review of this company, for fear of becoming embroiled in the ongoing lawsuit. My prior review (which got 2 votes for being useful - and two for being funny :-) - in the first 10 minutes online, suggesting a lot of interest in this story) offered sufficient detail to easily identify me and the property in question to the developer. Suffice it here to say, STEER CLEAR

The bottom line is: This company had a negative review to deal with, so they sued the reviewer. Now they have at least 14 negative reviews to deal with, as a result of their own actions.
