Why We Really Ask For Your Reviews and Referrals 


In the world of dentistry, word-of-mouth referrals and online reviews can make or break a practice. As dental professionals, we strive to provide top-notch care to our patients, but did you know that your feedback beyond the clinic walls of any healthcare professional can significantly impact the perception of the business? We wanted to delve into the importance of referrals and reviews for our dental practice and why your voice matters in shaping its online presence.


First and foremost, referrals are the lifeblood of any successful dental practice. When a patient recommends your services to friends, family, or colleagues, it speaks volumes about the quality of care and trust they have in your practice. Unlike traditional advertising, referrals carry a personal endorsement that resonates with potential new patients. They are more likely to trust the recommendation of someone they know and respect, making them more inclined to book an appointment.


Furthermore, referrals contribute to a strong sense of community and loyalty among our patients. By fostering positive relationships and experiences, we know that we can create a ripple effect that extends beyond the treatment chair. Patients who feel valued and cared for are more likely to become ambassadors for our practice, spreading the word and helping us find new patients! 


Additionally, online reviews, particularly those on platforms like Google matter more and more each day. In today's digital age, online reviews wield immense power in shaping consumer decisions. Before scheduling an appointment or making a purchase, many individuals turn to the internet to research businesses and read reviews from other customers. This trend holds true for dental practices as well.


Positive reviews on Google not only enhance our practice's credibility but also improve its visibility in search results. When potential patients search for a dentist in their area, they are more likely to encounter Bendel Family Dentistry if it has a high rating and numerous positive reviews. This increased online visibility can literally change the algorithm to help more people match their needs in a dentist with our services and customer care that we provide. 


Moreover, Google reviews provide valuable feedback that we can use to refine and improve our services for you and your family. Whether it's praise for our friendly staff, cleanliness of the clinic, or effectiveness of treatments, these insights offer valuable perspectives from your experiences which help shape our business. 


Asking you to leave a review on Google is a simple yet powerful way to harness the potential of online feedback. Simply put, your word of mouth referral or review is the best way you can let us know that we are providing you with the care and service you need. 


In conclusion, referrals and reviews play a pivotal role in the success of our dental practice. By fostering positive relationships with our patients and encouraging them to share their experiences online, we can better serve you. Your recommendation contributes to the collective voice of our practice, shaping its online presence and influencing the decisions of our potential patients. If you love our service, it would mean the world to us if you took a moment to share that positive feedback with us through an online review or through a word-of-mouth referral. 


As always, Bendel Family Dentistry accepts most dental insurance with no out-of-pocket expenses for your first visit, which includes X-Rays, and Exam and a Cleaning. We are also more than happy to do a complimentary insurance benefits check.
