How to Respond to Reviews
It is important to thank patients for their feedback to show that you truly value their opinion.
Thank the patient - show your patient gratitude for taking the time to submit a review
Be specific - whilst a generic reply is better than no reply, take the time to reply directly to the content of a review. This offers a personal touch and level of care that will build trust and confidence in future patients
