Dentists: Consider Reasons To Write Reviews On Your Practitioner

If you have had a great experience with one or more dentists recently, consider leaving a review online. There are usually several venues where you are encouraged to leave your opinion about a particular practitioner, and it is typically fast and easy to do. There are various motives to do so, but you should consider some of the top reasons before you decide.

When you search for a new doctor, store, bank, or movie to watch, you probably look for reviews that can tell you whether the places or products you have in mind are worth your time. Consider how many times you have read a review and have been convinced to give a new place a try, or possibly persuaded to stay home due to a bad rating. You were likely grateful for the warning, and writing a review allows you to give the same service to others. It typically only takes a few minutes, and you may enjoy it so much that you will spend an hour or so writing about various places you have visited lately.

If you have been particularly impressed with your dentist, you probably want him or her to stick around and continue practicing. Dentists who frequently get good ratings are likely to get enough patients to stay in practice, while those who never get recommended may be forced to close up shop, leaving you without a practitioner. Even if you do not think your dentist is in danger of closing anytime soon, if you like him or her, they would probably still appreciate a recommendation.

In some cases, you can get compensated from your reviews. For example, some dentists offer free or discounted services when you recommend them to a friend. Even if you write a review online, you can typically still leave your name and ask that new patients mention it when they make an appointment. While you should not expect this type of reward every time you recommend someone, it is an extra incentive to rate practitioners.

No matter the reason for the review, it is helpful for various people. Even if you are leaving a note online to warn people about a dentist, you are helping out others before they commit to a new practitioner. You probably know how much trouble it is to find a new person to work on your teeth, especially one that you like, but writing a few recommendations can make it easy on someone else.
