Using Online Reviews for More Dental Patients

Do you own a dental practice? Wondering how you can attract more patients online with reviews?

Make Negative Reviews a Positive Experience

Although no practice owner is happy to receive negative feedback/reviews, it isn’t the end of the world! If your dental practice receives a negative review, make sure that you turn that negative review into a more positive experience. You should always respond to negative reviews and attempt to address the patient’s concern/issue.

In a lot of situations, a patient may be completely willing to update their review if their problem has been properly addressed. Showing potential patients that you are willing to make things right can also be a huge benefit.

Act on patient Feedback

This still focuses a bit on the turning a negative into a positive, but any feedback should be taken into consideration as a practice owner. If a patient takes time to inform you about a problem in your practice, we recommend addressing the concern. This can result in less negative feedback about your practice in the future along with potentially bringing back any patients who had a previous negative experience. Once the feedback has been addressed, make sure you let your patients online know also.
