Yikes, Yelp! Give me a break! As a retired doctor I can smell a rat upon reading your online Yelp review on Idaho Falls attorney, Aaron Woolf. For starters the person who complained about Aaron didn't even spell Mr. Woolf's name correctly. It's so strange how in our society we delight in this type of character assault. It ranks well beneath other computer mischief, including malware and hacking personal and business and school district computer systems. You ask what does that have to do with a negative review on Aaron Woolf? Well, you have to have sophisticated computer skills to poach someone's computer; and to issue, and follow through with malware and ransom threats. But any idiot or sociopath can simply sit down and trash virtually anybody they want to via this type of website. Maybe they get a perverse sense of satisfaction from this kind of behavior, which I fear is the case with many computer hackers.
Oh, by the way, if this review of Yelp does not appear on your site as a legitimate review, then I'll know you got caught red-handed ripping the public off every bit as badly as even your worst reviewer. Okay, Yelp, I would advise you to close this site and use all this energy you seem to have to develop or participate in a legitimate, ethical, and useful computer-based business. Or is this the best you can do? By the way, I tutored computer science 50 years ago while in pre-med. And I don't consider myself to be the brightest or best at what I did. But cared deeply and tried my best to help people. And doctors aren't perfect either. In any case, I thank the Man up above that your deviant enterprise didn't exist while I was practicing medicine. Trashing people was certainly not my aim when I went into my chosen profession. As a doctor in an imperfect world, I knew I wouldn't always succeed, but was willing to take a risk at doing what I could to alleviate the problems of others. I simply wanted to help people. In medicine and surgery, an 80-90% success rate was what we dealt with, and that meant literally hundreds of my patients would not be better off having used my services. So technically, I could have received hundreds of such negative reviews. And that was true of even the best surgeons. And probably other professions as well. That statistic hasn't changed much, and people are certainly entitled to legal recourse should they so choose.
Oh, thanks for the compliment on my review which appears below this even as I am typing. Ironically, it says "This review is looking pretty epic! Nice!" Yes, that's what you are telling me right now. You must be just a computer reading and commenting on this.
I met with Aaron Woolf for the first time the other day, and had never met or heard of him until referred to him. He came highly recommended by - guess who? Two of my sisters. I have met and interviewed literally thousands of people throughout my medical practice. I was extremely impressed at how much information Aaron gathered from me in my free forty minute initial interview with him. He was focused, and laser-like in his search for the necessary information to decide whether and/or how to move forward with my particular legal issue. He actually impressed me right off the bat. And as a professional, I have dealt with a lot of attorneys. And paid large amounts to them. They work very hard, like doctors and other professionals, and business owners. I'm a doctor who has no beef with attorneys. My son is one. I knew Aaron's father only casually, years ago, but I do recall that he was very good at his profession. And when he made front page news, back when people still took the newspaper, I recall that he was doing some very impactful, relevant litigation. I have a hunch Aaron takes after his father. So I am moving my chips to Aaron Woolf's firm.
And I still remain baffled at how Yelp can hold itself out as a legitimate review method.
How am I doing, Yelp? Still epic? Oh, I might be over the hill, but I do know how to take a screenshot of my comments. They will be forwarded to Mr. Woolf's firm. If he is ever having a bad day, like most of us do from time to time, I hope he will save this, and read it over again, knowing that someone said something nice about him. For me, practicing medicine was never about making big money. When it started to feel that way, I was took the next opportunity to pass my practice along to someone else. A great University near us has the motto:"Enter to learn, go forth to serve. Now that's what I would label as epic! read more
