I’m a doctor who was once put under review by a medical board. I was cleared of any wrongdoing, but the original review notice is still online. How can I let people know that I didn’t do anything wrong?

Like an arrest record, disciplinary hearings are often difficult to remove from the Web. This is especially frustrating for doctors, lawyers and other professionals who are cleared of any misconduct.

The best way to deal with an outdated disciplinary hearing notice is to focus on creating new positive content that showcases your expertise. If you regularly update your blog and social networking accounts, Google will eventually recognize the new information over the old record and move it off of page one.
