Despite being blacklisted virtually everywhere from clinics to conventions, Kathy Rumer is still roping in new victims via google. Rumer and her staff have been making sock accounts and posting reviews posing as patients.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Dr. Rumer's colorful history I have included her list of atrocities against the trans community at the bottom of this post.
The following tropes can be identified in all of Dr. Rumer's fake reviews.
1.) " My patient coordinator " usually followed by " answered all of my questions " or a story that is so outlandish that it gives the patient coordinator an insane amount of praise. "IE: My patient coordinator is so awesome that they saved the Earth from the asteroid and invited me to the Rumer family dinner! " In addition the patient coordinator is almost always name dropped. The "hero's of humanity" include, Gina, Terry, Jen and Dawn.
2.) Nurses/Staff at "X" Hospital. Currently its Taylor hospital, older reviews showed past hospitals.
3.) First time google reviewer. Sometimes though they will have 2 other reviews in random locations all over PA or Jersey.
4.) "Would recommend" Usually comes at the end.
Here are some more glaring examples through out google, yelp, and various medical websites
And most recently this gem was posted.
Rumer's practice has even been busted once for posting glowing reviews here on reddit.

ADDENDUM
Rumer's staff including her husband "Kerry DeAngelis" have left positive reviews on both google and yelp presenting a clear conflict of interest.
And as a bonus and if this practice couldn't stoop any lower. Kerry seems to enjoy responding to negative reviews and casually violating doctor/patient confidentiality. Stay classy.
