Are you a lucky doctor that has no negative reviews on pubic review sites?   Because, you know, those bad reviews can really hurt you.  Bad reviews take one person’s bad experience (justified or not) and put it under a huge magnifying glass for the whole Internet to see.  Sure, that leaves a direct bad impression.  But,...

Are you a lucky doctor that has no negative reviews on pubic review sites?   Because, you know, those bad reviews can really hurt you.  Bad reviews take one person’s bad experience (justified or not) and put it under a huge magnifying glass for the whole Internet to see.  Sure, that leaves a direct bad impression.  But, if you have NO REVIEWS, that sends a message, too.  And, it’s not a good message at all.

If you are a cosmetic dentist or cosmetic surgeon, you need to have positive online reviews or you will begin to experience it economically.  Positive online reviews, especially ones that outweigh a few (or the one) negative reviews tell the story you want.  If you have no reviews, you are not telling your story and that leaves a void for speculation and imagination.

If someone looks you up online and sees no reviews, these are common thoughts:

The doctor must be new or have no experience.

Nobody really likes the doctor’s work enough to say so

Is the doctor actively practicing?

Why would I choose this doctor if others have so many positive reviews?

It is 2014; no reviews is a bad review.  The good news is that you can fix this easily.  Having no reviews means you don’t have to overcome any negative reviews.  You can build your image the way you want to build it.  Dog Star Media is ready to help you with our Online Review Manager program.  This program places truthful, positive reviews THAT YOU APPROVE onto public review sites and we do it with your patients’ permission.  If you have no reviews, let us help.  Just contact me at donald@dogstarmedia.com and we can get you set up to tell your story the right way.
