What it is

Why Reputation Management Matters

Reputation management for doctors is about making sure your online reviews reflect the care you actually give. Most happy patients never leave a review, while unhappy ones often do. A simple system for asking and replying changes that balance.

Patients read reviews on Google, Healthgrades and other sites before they book. Your star rating and your replies both shape their decision.

We set up review requests, monitor new reviews, draft careful replies and report on your reputation each month. That is online reputation management for doctors done with patient privacy first. For groups, medical reputation management covers every provider.

Where Patients Read Reviews

Google is usually the first place patients see reviews, right next to your Maps listing. It is not the only one.

  • Google: shown in search and Maps for every location
  • Healthgrades, Vitals and WebMD: provider profiles patients find by name
  • Yelp and Facebook: used by many local patients
  • Insurance directories: some plans show ratings in their provider search

We claim and check each profile, fix wrong details and make sure every one points to the right phone number and address.

Replies and privacy

How to Reply to Patient Reviews Under HIPAA

Practice manager writing a privacy-conscious response to a review

Replying to reviews has one rule above all: never confirm that a reviewer is a patient. Even a friendly reply can share protected health information if it mentions a visit or treatment.

  • Thank reviewers without mentioning care, visits or conditions.
  • Invite unhappy reviewers to call the office privately.
  • Never argue or share details in public.
  • Keep a record of replies and who approved them.

We draft every reply with these rules and send it to you for approval.

Honest reviews

How to Get More Real Reviews

The best way to improve your rating is to ask more of your happy patients. We help you do that the right way:

  • Ask every patient, not only the ones you think are happy.
  • Make it easy with a short link sent by text or email.
  • Never offer rewards for reviews or post reviews yourself.
  • Never ask patients to change or remove a review.

Honest, steady review growth protects you from policy problems on review sites and builds real trust.

Rules

Review Rules From the FTC and Google

Fake or bought reviews put a practice at real risk. A Federal Trade Commission rule that took effect in October 2024 bans fake reviews, buying positive or negative reviews, hiding the reviewer’s connection to the business and using threats to suppress negative reviews.

Google also says businesses must not discourage negative reviews or selectively ask only happy patients. We send review requests to every patient the same way and never offer rewards for a review.

HIPAA applies to replies too. In 2022, a California dental practice paid $23,000 to settle after it disclosed patient information while replying to reviews on Yelp.

Sources: FTC rule on consumer reviews, Search Engine Land on Google’s review guidelines and HHS, New Vision Dental settlement.

Reporting

What Our Monthly Reputation Report Shows

Each month you get a short report your whole team can read in a few minutes.

  • New reviews and average rating for each location and site
  • Review requests sent and how many turned into reviews
  • Replies posted and any reviews still waiting for a decision
  • Common themes, such as wait times or front desk service

The themes matter most. When several reviews mention the same issue, fixing it in the office does more for your rating than any reply.

FAQ

Reputation Questions

Prefer to talk?

Call our Austin team directly.

Ask every patient after the visit with a short link by text or email. Consistent asking is the biggest driver of more reviews.

Yes, but carefully. Replies should never confirm the person is a patient or mention care. Invite them to contact the office privately.

Only reviews that break a site’s policies, such as spam or offensive content, can be reported for removal. Honest negative reviews usually stay, so a good reply matters.

Yes. Our Austin team supports practices in all 50 states.

No. The FTC rule bans incentives tied to positive or negative reviews, and most review sites ban rewards for reviews altogether. The safest approach is to ask every patient the same way, make it easy with a direct link and never offer anything in return.

Most practices see new reviews within the first weeks after requests start, because many happy patients simply were never asked. Growth depends on patient volume and how quickly requests go out after a visit. We report new reviews and average rating each month.

Replying to most reviews shows patients you are listening. Thank people for positive reviews without confirming they are patients. For negative reviews, reply briefly, avoid any details of care and invite the person to call the office. We draft replies for your approval so every response stays HIPAA-safe.

If a review breaks the site’s rules, such as a fake review or one from someone who was never a patient, we report it through the proper process. Review sites decide what to remove. Honest negative reviews usually stay, so a calm, careful reply is the best response.
