When you respond to online reviews for your practice (both positive and negative) it’s like walking through a minefield. Any minute you could make a mistake and suffer the consequences.

Get it wrong and you could be faced with significant revenue losses or with a HIPAA complaint that leads to audits, violations and fines – not to mention the massive headaches.
So, why not just ignore online reviews. This is a dangerous strategy. A poor online review left unanswered can have a ripple effect and cost you patients for years to come.

- 41% checked a doctor’s online review/rating even if they were referred by another physician
- Only 38.4% said that your website contributes to their practice decision
- 51.8% of patients that posted negative online comments never received a response
