How to look after physician online reputation management

Every doctor has to be more accountable than ever. Not just in terms of providing healthcare, but as a service provider. Viewing the patient as a customer, a physician can increase their net worth by taking the following steps with regards to their physician online reputation management:




  • Assess what your current ratings are. Do several Google searches that revolve around your own name. Investigate what people are saying about you in the comments section and what your ratings are. Also, do searches on the prominent medical reputation sites.

  • Are there any helpful comments? For example, a patient may have stated that you seemed to be in a rush, or didn’t explain the situation thoroughly. These are areas you can improve on.

  • When you see patients from now on, imagine that each and every one of them will leave an online public review. Think about how you would like to appear on search engines and that should drive how you treat your patients from now on.

Surveys are the Best Measure of Patient Satisfaction

  We all are regularly asked to complete surveys on the products and services we purchase almost every time we make a purchase.  Sometimes we respond, other times we do not for any number of reasons.

Recent studies and a recent article in the Washington Post  show that fake reviews are common in the healthcare industry.  Fake Review Watch, a consumer watchdog site, has found dozens of Facebook groups where businesses, including medical practices, buy and sell fraudulent reviews. Curtis Boyd, CEO and founder of Objection, which specializes in identifying fake business reviews, said that about 20 percent of business reviews in the healthcare industry, including physician reviews,...
