Tips Doctors Can Use to Protect Their Online Healthcare Reputation

February 8, 2022

Reputation is important in the healthcare field; patients want to have comfort in knowing that they're receiving the best care. 80% of patients in the United States go online to search for their choice of primary care physicians. 


At worst, having a poor reputation online can damage a physician's practice financially. Ultimately, it all boils down to trust, and here's why.


Patients may have preconceived notions about the quality of their care


You may not know that private practices – and any other type of medical facility for that matter – receive online reviews just like retail businesses. Patients are trying  to make an informed decision about who they want to trust with their health

It’s only natural to associate bad outcomes with bad reviews. After all, the review was serious enough for someone to post online, so there has to be a grain of truth to it, right? Well, that’s not necessarily the case since there’s no way to tell whether or not a review is genuine.


Besides, the best way to fight negative preconceptions about a healthcare provider is to ensure that patient care remains a top priority and that the healthcare experience goes smoothly overall.



Healthcare facilities depend on referrals and recommendations for business


Along those lines, reputation is critical in the healthcare industry since many facilities rely on referrals and recommendations to acquire new patients. 

If a physician's reputation gets to an unacceptably low level, other doctors may be hesitant to refer patients to those practices.
