"Medvi has engaged in a range of dishonest marketing practices, including using AI-deepfaked images of phony patients and misleadingly flaunting media logos."
"The New York Times profile either downplayed or omitted glaring ethical red flags surrounding Medvi's marketing practices and its use of AI-fabricated images."
"At the time of the NYT article's publication, Medvi was being marketed on social media by accounts featuring clearly fake doctors."
"In February 2026, the FDA issued a warning to Medvi LLC, pointing to multiple violations on its Medvi-branded site, Medvi.io."
