What gp and medical clinics get reviewed on
- Phone-line queues
- Appointment availability
- Waiting-room delays
- Referral speed
Tone notes
Formal-warm, unnamed patient, always an email route out of the public channel.
6 templates
1. Thank-you, unspecific
Review
"The whole team is fantastic."
Reply
"Thank you — we'll pass this to the team on shift. It's the kind of message that keeps a practice going. — The Partners"
2. Phone-line complaint
Review
"Impossible to get through on the phone at 8am."
Reply
"Hi — the 8am rush is the pressure point we hear most about. We've moved to a call-back queue from this month, so you can hang up and hold your place in line. Feedback like this is what changes it."
3. Wait
Review
"Waited an hour past my appointment."
Reply
"Hi — an hour past a booked appointment isn't acceptable and we're sorry it was your day. Please email complaints@ourpractice.co.uk and we will follow it up individually."
4. Referral speed
Review
"Referral took weeks to move."
Reply
"Hi — referral timelines are partly ours and partly the receiving service's; we can't discuss any individual case here. Please email us directly and we will trace it for you."
5. Negative, unspecific
Review
"Terrible service, would change GP."
Reply
"Hi — we're sorry you feel this way. So we can address it properly, please email complaints@ourpractice.co.uk. We treat every complaint as a formal one."
6. Front-desk praise
Review
"Reception team were so kind when I called in tears."
Reply
"Thank you — that's the front desk we work hard to be. We'll share this with the team. — The Partners"
FAQ
- Can a GP reply confirm the reviewer is a patient?
- No. Both GDPR/DPA and HIPAA treat the existence of a treatment relationship as protected. Reply in the third person and route to a private complaints email.
- Should we reply to anonymous negative medical reviews?
- Yes — briefly and neutrally. Silence reads as guilt; a defensive reply reads as unsafe. Two sentences plus an email address is the standard shape.
