How can I improve my review ratings?

Reputation tools do not, themselves, magically improve practice ratings on third party review profiles. Rather these highly optimized tools are the instruments used in combination with established office procedures to greatly impact the practice reputation.

Consumer reviews directly influence the decision making process when a patient is considering their medical options. Especially for dentists, orthodontists and oral surgeons.

Patients desire and have to rely on vetted, authentic and accurate representations of a provider before making a decision on their dental care.

Major rating and review sites understand the need for these authentic true reviews, in fact they have taken steps to institute terms and services ensuring all participants on their platforms adhere to best practices. 

Businesses and companies engaged in patient feedback collection must not:

• Discourage or prohibit negative reviews from being published on their sites 

• Review Gating (Learn more here)

• Offer compensation for patient reviews

• Use surveys for outside advertising
• Request reviews in a bulk method request
