Doing a quick Google search, I found a couple in Texas sued anoymous posters on the community website Topix and won $13 million dollars. That's a message board network that is used for various cities and towns around the country. They've been know to have posters who can say just about anything, I guess that's going to stop.

As far as doctors reviews on website such as vitals.com and yelp.com and similar, they say lawsuits that only state facts such as a procedure that was performed can be written about. However, saying the doctor had a poor attitude is an opinion and can't be proven true or false.

So as long as you are writing about your visit and don't state opinions, you'll be okay. How long was the waiting time, the hygienist not having an assistant, the costs involved, the second opinion of the Ocala dentist. I'm sure you can find ways to write your review without providing an opinion but still convey your displeasure and then provide the dentist name.
