Reputation Management for Medical, Dental, and Healthcare Practices
Online reviews and provider profiles influence whether patients request an appointment, follow through on a referral, or choose another practice. Grace & Grit Marketing helps medical, dental, and healthcare practices protect and strengthen their reputation through ethical review growth, professional response guidance, and accurate listings across the platforms patients use.
Your Reputation Is One of Your Most Valuable Practice Assets
What patients say about your practice online matters. A strong reputation builds trust, supports referrals, and helps more of the right patients feel confident moving forward. But one negative review, unanswered complaint, or outdated listing can create hesitation and cost you appointments.
At Grace & Grit Marketing, we help practices take control of their online reputation and reviews, along with the listings and profiles that influence patient decisions and local visibility. Whether you are looking to improve review volume and quality, respond to feedback more consistently, or correct inaccurate provider information online, our Reputation Management services give you a clear strategy and hands-on support.
Whatever your specialty, we help you manage the profiles and listings patients actually use, including Google Business Profile and specialty-relevant directories such as Healthgrades, Vitals, Psychology Today, Zocdoc, and RealSelf.
Why Online Reputation Management Matters
Patients often read reviews and check practice information online before they call, request an appointment, or accept a referral. Your presence on Google Business Profile and the right specialty directories shapes first impressions long before someone reaches your website.
Even excellent practices receive occasional negative feedback. What matters is how it is handled. A thoughtful, privacy-aware response process shows prospective patients that your team takes concerns seriously and communicates professionally. Accurate listings reduce friction and confusion, especially when a practice has multiple providers, multiple locations, or evolving hours and services.
Reputation management also supports local search visibility. Consistent practice information across platforms helps search engines and patients confirm that your practice is legitimate, active, and easy to reach.
Our Reputation Management Services for Healthcare Practices
Review Monitoring & Response Guidance
Patients and prospective patients are reading reviews before they call or request an appointment. We monitor your reviews across the platforms that matter most for your specialty, including Google Business Profile and other relevant directory sites, so important feedback does not get missed.
We also help you respond to reviews in a way that protects patient privacy and reflects the professionalism of your practice. That includes guidance for both positive and negative reviews, with responses that are brief, calm, and appropriate for healthcare, and that invite sensitive conversations to move offline.
Review Generation & Feedback Strategy
A steady flow of recent, positive reviews helps reinforce patient trust and supports local visibility. We help you implement an ethical, repeatable review process that fits your practice workflow and makes it easy for satisfied patients to share feedback on the platforms that matter most, including Google Business Profile and other specialty-relevant sites.
Rather than one-time campaigns, we focus on a consistent system you can maintain. The result is stronger credibility, clearer expectations for prospective patients, and a reputation that reflects the level of care your practice provides.
Negative Review Management
A negative review does not have to define your practice. When handled correctly, it can be an opportunity to demonstrate professionalism, accountability, and a commitment to patient experience.
We develop response guidance and workflows to help you address negative feedback calmly and consistently, without confirming a patient relationship or discussing care details in public. When reviews appear fake, misleading, or violate platform policies, we help you document the issue and pursue the appropriate dispute and removal process so your practice is represented as accurately and fairly as possible.
Google Business Profile Optimization
Your Google Business Profile is often the first impression patients see when they search for your practice. We optimize and maintain your profile so it is accurate, complete, and aligned with how patients search locally.
This includes verifying and standardizing core details such as name, address, phone number, hours, website links, and categories, along with supporting elements like photos and updates when appropriate. A well-managed profile improves local visibility, reduces confusion, and reinforces patient trust before someone ever calls or requests an appointment.
Social Media Reputation Management
Social media plays a different role than reviews, but it still influences trust. For many practices, platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn are where patients get a feel for your tone, your standards, and how you communicate.
We help you manage comments and messages, respond professionally, and keep interactions aligned with patient privacy expectations. When a conversation becomes clinical or personal, we guide the response so it moves to the right channel, while your public presence remains calm, respectful, and consistent with the level of care you provide.
Reputation Monitoring & Reporting
Maintaining a strong practice reputation requires ongoing visibility into what patients are seeing and saying online. We monitor reviews, key listings, and brand mentions, then track trends over time so you can understand what is improving, where concerns are emerging, and which platforms are shaping perception.
Our reporting focuses on practical insights, not vanity metrics. You will see review volume and rating trends, recurring themes in feedback, and any listings issues that may be creating friction for patients, along with clear recommendations for what to address next.

Our Reputation Management Process for Health Practices
Step 1: Reputation and Listings Audit
We start by reviewing your practice’s reputation and listings across the platforms patients use to research providers. This includes Google Business Profile, key specialty directories, and core local listings. We evaluate review volume, rating and recency trends, recurring themes in feedback, response consistency, and listing accuracy for both the practice and providers.
Step 2: Strategy Development & Implementation
Next, we build a practical plan tailored to your specialty and workflow. This includes an ethical review strategy, response guidance written for healthcare, and internal standards your team can follow. Our approach prioritizes patient privacy and ensures your public responses remain professional, brief, and appropriate.
Step 3: Monitoring & Review Response Support
We monitor new reviews, brand mentions, and social conversations so important feedback does not get missed. We help your practice respond consistently and calmly, and we guide sensitive situations toward the right offline channel.
Step 4: Strengthen Trust Signals Over Time
Reputation management is ongoing. We refine the system as your practice grows, providers change, and platforms evolve. This can include improving review momentum, maintaining accurate provider and location information, reducing listing errors and duplicates, and strengthening the trust signals that support local visibility and booked appointments.
