About This Automation Managing patient reviews across multiple sites requires manually checking each platform, drafting requests, and writing careful responses to unhappy patients. This scattered, manual effort makes it slow to catch negative feedback and easy to miss review requests entirely.
An automated version continuously scans connected review sites, drafts responses to negative feedback, and sends personalized requests to eligible patients right after their visit. The result is faster responses, more consistent outreach, and a reliable monthly summary of practice reputation.
Key features:
Selects eligible patients automatically after each completed visit Sends personalized review requests without manual list building Scans connected review sites continuously for new activity Tags sentiment and drafts a reply for any negative review Logs review outcomes and ratings against patient records Assembles a recurring reputation summary automatically Top friction points when done manually The issues teams report most often with this process

Frequently asked questions Everything you need to know before mapping this process.
Which review sites does this cover for a medical practice? It can monitor the review platforms your practice actively uses, so new ratings and comments are caught without staff checking each site separately.
Does staff still need to review negative feedback before it is posted? Will this work with our existing patient records and review tools? What happens to patients who had a recent complaint? Is this practical for a smaller medical practice? View more FAQs
