A New York doctor is suing a woman for $1 million after she posted a negative review about him on multiple internet sites.

Dr. Joon Song, a gynecologist, is accusing his former patient Michelle Levine of defamation, libel and causing emotional distress following Levine's negative comments posted on sites like Yelp, Zocdoc and Healthgrades. According to news reports, Levine visited Dr. Song for a routine annual exam, but received a bill for an ultrasound and a new patient visit, not an annual exam. When her complaints to the physician's office went unanswered, she took to the review sites. The lengthy critical review said, "very poor and crooked business practice," among other things.

"And I gave them one star on Facebook, which they also put in their complaint," Levine said.

Levine, who has since taken down all of her reviews, claims she has spent close to $20,000 fighting the lawsuit.

In a statement to the media, Dr. Song's attorney said, "While everyone is entitled to their opinion, outright lies masquerading as reviews can inflict serious damage to a medical practice or small business."

Levine said that she doesn't regret writing her review and will continue to fight to the end.
