Legal Question in Legal Ethics in California

False quote/testimonial attributed to me on a doctor's website
There is a chiropractor's website that contains several glowing testimonials
from alleged former patients about his services. One of these quotes he is
attributing to me, (though lists a different hometown), though I have never
been to this chiropractor before. I have a very unusual name, so I am 99%
sure that there isn't another person with my name who was his patient. I work
for an insurance company that has had litigated dealings with this
chiropractor in the past, and I believe he took my name from one of my
company's correspondences to him and is falsely connecting it to this
fabricated testimonial. My question: how can I get the doctor to remove my
name from his website, or make him prove that he really had a patient that
just happened to have the same name as me? Again, I believe what this
doctor has done is just randomly taken my name from one of my company's
letters and concocted a false quote.

Send him a certified "cease and desist" letter, and see how he replies. If he insists the person with the same name is real, ask to see the letter.
