Fact: I was a paying customer - see uploaded receipt in Photos.
Fact: Moise has a financial relationship with Yelp for promotion of his business. Non-paying businesses don't get those promotional coupons and "deals" posted on their Yelp page.
Fact: Moise has thrice gotten Yelp to remove my truthful and legit reviews about being compromised in his office for bogus/fake reasons. Twice for "not reflecting a customer experience" and once for "not enough information about customer experience."
Could his status as a paying customer of Yelp be the reason Yelp removes my Elite reviews without question despite the fact that proof has been supplied (photo) and two former customers have filed police reports for inappropriate touching in his office?
Fact: My prior reviews were detailed and included photo of an actual customer receipt. My reviews were above average length and longer than some of the ones posted by his own friends to boost his rating. Yet, the most recent review was pulled for "not enough detail."
Readers: draw your own conclusions.

(NOTE: just the above text, alone, is more detailed than most non-Elite reviews you'll see on Yelp, but that's just the preamble.)
Yelp Moderators: I was a paying customer. See photos for receipt.
Yelp Moderators: A receipt means reviewer was *paying customer*.
Yelp Moderators: Paying customer = first hand experience.
Fact: I was a paying customer.
Fact: The business owner isn't a doctor.
Fact: For many years, this massage therapist has been posing as a doctor.
Fact: Because he's not a doctor of anything, there was no place for me to complain about the violation of patient/doctor boundaries that took place while I was a paying customer (details below because Yelp has now required them per their bogus pull down notice).
Fact: There are two police reports filed against this business owner for inappropriate touching with paying customers.
Fact: The impact on me has been long-lasting and profound.
Detail: Moise massaged my breasts in his office during one of my first paid visits, something I didn't request or expect, saying it was for better health. (Is that enough detail Yelp? If not don't worry, there's more....)
Fact: According to the California Massage Therapy Council (CAMTC), massage of a woman's breasts and/or genitalia is 100% inappropriate for a member of their licensing organization. The CAMTC says there are no professional reasons to touch a woman in these areas. Nonetheless, Moise did exactly that during one of my early paid visits to his office and came up with some sort of new-agey justification.
Fact: At one point during our acquaintance, Moise told me that he'd given a few women clients intravaginal adjustments at his office. (This means inside their vagina, folks.)
Detail: Moise asked me out while I was a paying customer.
Detail: Moise told me a few weeks after I became a customer that he'd smelled my hair on the very first office visit (also a paid visit through a Living Social coupon).
Detail: Moise tried to flirt with me on the very first visit (yes, the same visit where he says he smelled my hair), saying "I bet the camera loves your face." (He called the other female victim "my queen," yet Yelp has also pulled her review.)
Detail: Later when I got to know him more, when I asked him, in writing, to respect my boundaries, he told me he had a right to question my boundaries. This I have in writing.
Hopefully these details are now enough to satisfy Yelp for this review to remain. Sadly, Moise and Yelp seem hell bent on traumatizing me again as I try to warn other women. Had they not cited "not enough detail" I wouldn't have had to post the disgusting details mentioned above to validate my posting. As I said in a prior review that Moise had pulled, it took me a long time to come forward and only did so thanks to the Me Too movement. But, as in the many cases seen in the media, women who come forward are often victimized again when they do come forward. The surprising part is how Yelp has aided a fraud "doctor" to continue his status quo: pretending to be a doctor and/or naturopath (a kind of doctor), supporting his practice where he (a massage therapist) claims he treats diseases, and pulling factual reviews from victims about sexual misconduct in his office.
