Online Reviews: The Make-or-Break Factor for Your Dental Startup
Let’s get right to it: online reviews can be one of your biggest assets—or your biggest vulnerabilities—when launching your startup dental practice.
The right reviews bring in more new patients, reduce your marketing spend, and give your entire team a sense of pride and momentum. They’re not just digital compliments—they’re a public trust signal. And yes, anyone offering excellent care can earn them. You just need the right strategies in place.
That’s why I invited Rita Zamora—one of the top online reputation experts in dentistry—to pull back the curtain on how to do it right.
