Feedback

Patient feedback that reaches you before it reaches Google

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.

Ask while the visit is still fresh

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.

  • Triggered by the visit itself, so nobody has to remember to send it
  • Delivered over WhatsApp or SMS, where a reply is one tap
  • One question first, with room to explain — long forms are not answered
  • Per-doctor and per-branch, so the score means something specific
  • In Arabic or English, following the patient record

Route the unhappy ones to a person

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 low rating opens a task for whoever owns patient care
  • The full context travels with it: visit, doctor, treatment, balance
  • Resolution is recorded against the patient, so the next visit starts informed
  • Recurring themes show up per doctor rather than as a general feeling

Let the happy ones become reviews

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.

  • High scores are offered the public review link immediately
  • Low scores are not, because inviting them is how the review gets written anyway
  • Response rates and score trends tracked over time, per branch

Who uses feedback

Feedback is worth collecting only if somebody acts on it, so it is built around the person who will.

Clinic managers

Sees an unhappy patient the same day, with enough context to call them.

Owners

Compares satisfaction by doctor and by branch rather than in aggregate.

Marketing

Turns the genuinely happy into public reviews without asking everyone.

Most clinics collect feedback occasionally, from whoever they remember to ask.

Questions

Feedback — frequently asked

When should patient feedback be requested?

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.

How do we stop bad reviews?

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.

Should we ask every patient for a Google review?

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.

Can feedback be tracked per dentist?

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.

What channel does the request go out on?

WhatsApp or SMS, in the language on the patient record.
