Whenever I would post negative comments about Dr. Elist on a doctor review site, they would disappear after a few days...

 Yeah, I sent a pretty detailed and explicit email with links to pics and explicit language. I don't think she cares much, and the statics she is using must have come from Elist so they are pretty useless.

 Write to the medical board. He can't control that. He cannot control Yelp either, BUT if you are doing it with an account with no other posts or from a masked IP address, Yelp will filter your review out.

Someone could register elistimplantreviews.com and just post everything there too.

I googled him and he has a lot of SEO working for him (many pages of his own come up when you google "elist implant reviews" and "horrors" - he knows exactly what he's doing), but there are some very easy tricks to get reviews about him to come up high in google... maybe...google isn't that easy to predict, but the whole GQ thing is disturbing.

I think GQ did it because it is click bait...and it's win-win for one of their 22 year old idiot reporters. If Elist paid for this, then they have a conflict of interest and it is deceptive trade practices.

 People who have had the Elist "experience" should write letters to the editor so they publish them in March. Think of how many more people will end up under his knife from that article.

 Somebody started a thread on Elist in Realself.com in the form of a question about his implant: [ www.realself.com/question/seattle-wa-elist-implant-safe](https://www.realself.com/question/seattle-wa-elist-implant-safe)
that is a great place to give reviews. When you google a Dr. it comes right up.

I also don't think you need to be a patient to write to GQ. Most letters to the editors want your name etc. Guys may be embarrassed, I said I had surgery on my penis but was not an Elist patient and found a support site and there are a lot of disasters posted and sent some links.

You can't get negative reviews removed on realself so long as you keep it impersonal and stay away from attacks, but plenty of detail is allowed and pictures.

FYI:
Doctor Answers 1Is the ELIST Implant safe?December 16th, 2015No, I do not believe that the Elist implant is safe at all. This solid silicone implant is not well tolerated in a soft tissue appendage such as the penis. It was shown in the 1970's and 1980's that silastic implants in the nose had a huge tendency to erode through the skin, resulting in horrible complications. Those implants were abandoned and have fallen off the map. The Elist implant is also silastic and, by definition, is neither safe nor reliable. The Elist website presents an advocacy for his implant with many slanted statements not only about the implant but, also about other techniques. If you go to phalloboards you will see that the postings about the Elist implant are nearly uniformly horrible. If you want to have phalloplasty, then see an experienced Plastic SURGEON

 So I got a reply from the writer of the article Amy, everyone can decide for themselves what they think about it (the subject was "Elist Horror Stories")

Hi xxx,Yes, I wrote about Dr. Elist. The story, which you can read here --

[ www.gq.com/story/penis-enlargement-surgery?src=longreads](http://www.gq.com/story/penis-enlargement-surgery?src=longreads) -- includes this paragraph that alerts readers to the potential dangers:

Of course, as with any surgery, there can be complications. While Elist's infection rate (3.3 percent) is far below the average for other implants, infections happen, and when they do, they're a drag. Other potential (though rare) negative outcomes, according to that clinical report Elist and his son commissioned: detachment of sutures (experienced by two out of 400 patients surveyed), implant breakage (one out of 400), and implant perforation of the skin (four out of 400). Elist acknowledges that because his procedure is so new, he has needed to refine it over time. But in each problematic case'many that resulted from men not being able to wait to try out the merchandise'he has fixed what went wrong for free.

I think that provides ample warning. Thanks for getting in touch.

Best,Amy

She probably doesn't care because it was some sort of contractual PR... her going back on the article could even entail a lawsuit, who knows?? I'm not privy to the workings of a national brand magazine, but I suspect she got her cut and will be moving on to her next piece/article.

She's not in the business of saving penises or shedding light on unscrupulous doctors, and for that I'm not sure there is much I can do to blame her personally, but rather, GQ as a whole...given their willingness to publish whatever.

 Yeah, I work with a lot of PR people, some of whom are lovely - but they all think their job is basically BS and the last thing they want is someone bringing attention to their published work as flawed. She is probably on to another article on the benefits of juicing already.
