As a dental practice owner trying to grow your business, you’re always on the lookout for new ways to get patients in the door.
But let’s be honest, with so many options, it can be just a little bit overwhelming.
I’ve even experienced this myself, with my business DentistMetrics.
How many times have you heard the following from a friend or colleague.
“You need to be on Facebook.”
“You need to be running Google ads.”
“You need to be on Instagram… Snapchat.. Or the latest marketing platform.”
Of course, many of these tools and strategies are great for bringing in more business, but in always searching for the ‘next best thing’ we often neglect the simple path to what actually works.
One of the things that just works but is often overlooked, is patient reviews.
Which is why I’m excited to share today’s conversation with Dr. Shawn Van De Vyver who previously joined us on Episode 35 of the podcast.
Dr. Shawn is the Founder of Great Lakes Dentistry and a super successful entrepreneur in the dental space. And he’s cracked the code on how to get patient reviews without spending hours of your time with the process.
I think you’ll find our conversation eye opening when it comes to the power of patient reviews.
