Clinic managers
Sees an unhappy patient the same day, with enough context to call them.
Every clinic finds out about a bad visit eventually. The only question is whether you hear it from the patient or from a public review, and the difference is usually a message sent a few hours after they left.
Feedback asked for a week later measures memory, not experience. Sent automatically a few hours after the appointment is marked complete, it reaches the patient while the detail is still there and while something can still be done about it.
An average score is a vanity metric. What changes the business is a low score reaching a named person the same day, with the patient, the doctor and the treatment attached.
A patient who has just rated the visit five is the only patient who will ever write you a public review, and only in the minute after they rated it. Asking then costs nothing and is the entire difference between a clinic with forty reviews and one with four.
Feedback is worth collecting only if somebody acts on it, so it is built around the person who will.
Sees an unhappy patient the same day, with enough context to call them.
Compares satisfaction by doctor and by branch rather than in aggregate.
Turns the genuinely happy into public reviews without asking everyone.
Most clinics collect feedback occasionally, from whoever they remember to ask.
A few hours after the visit, automatically. Later than a day and you are measuring memory; asking at the desk gets a polite answer rather than an honest one.
You do not stop them, you get to them first. Catching a dissatisfied patient privately the same day is what turns a review into a phone call.
No. Ask only the ones who have just rated the visit highly. Blanket requests surface exactly the patients you would rather have spoken to privately.
Yes. Scores are attached to the visit and therefore to the doctor and branch, so trends are visible per person rather than as a clinic average.
