## TL;DR

Tuned for dental and medical practices. The generator never confirms or denies the reviewer was a patient, never discusses treatment, and always signs from a practice-manager role.

## Overview

Healthcare reviews are a compliance minefield. This preset defaults to language that acknowledges the experience without confirming patient status or discussing treatment — the two things that get practices in trouble with regulators.

## Quick tips

- Never confirm the reviewer was a patient.
- Never discuss treatment, diagnosis, or clinical detail in a public reply.
- Move every clinical complaint to a private channel — email or phone.

## Example replies

### Wait complaint

> _Review:_ Waited 40 minutes past my appointment.

> _Reply:_ Hi — a 40-minute wait past a specific appointment time isn't the practice we want to run. We've moved to a 15-minute buffer between complex appointments. — Sam, practice manager

### Kind team, 5-star

> _Review:_ Dr Patel is brilliant with anxious patients.

> _Reply:_ Thanks — we'll pass this along. Glad the visit went well. — Sam, practice manager

### Cost complaint

> _Review:_ The bill was much higher than expected.

> _Reply:_ Hi — a surprise bill is a communication failure on our side. From this month every treatment over £150 gets a written estimate before we start. Please email hello@ourpractice.com if you'd like to discuss. — Sam

## FAQ

### Can I confirm the reviewer was a patient?

No. GDC in the UK and HIPAA in the US both treat any confirmation of patient status as a breach. The generator's preset never confirms.

### Can I ask a patient to remove or update a review?

You can offer to discuss offline. You cannot ask for a rating change; both GDC and Google's own guidelines forbid it.

### What if the review is factually wrong?

Correct only non-clinical facts (opening hours, location). Never argue clinical facts in a public reply.
