Sees Remarkable Growth in Patient Feedback and Online Reviews

Kilmore Dental and Specialist Centre, established in 2009, provides comprehensive dental care in a regional location, ensuring patients don't need to travel for treatment.

The Opportunity:

 

For over a decade, the Centre faced challenges in tracking and measuring the patient experience and collecting Google reviews. Despite their efforts, they managed to gather only a handful of reviews, which didn’t reflect their high level of service. The existing platform required reception staff to manually request reviews, which was challenging and inconsistent due to their busy schedules. Dr Matthew Price, the owner of Kilmore Dental, explained, “Patients come for treatment, go home, and forget to review – we needed to overcome this and implement an easier process to increase our online presence.”

The Process:

 
“The way the patients responded was great and we got lots of responses – and still do.”

The treatment plan

Customer Radar provided an integrated, automated solution that seamlessly worked with EXACT—Kilmore Dental’s practice management software. The implementation was smooth and required minimal effort from the dental team. “We started a trial for one month, and it was great. We got feedback and reviews coming through almost immediately!” said Dr. Price.

The system sends a text to patients an hour after their appointment, prompting them to leave feedback. This method ensures timely responses without overwhelming patients. As Dr. Price noted, “Patients receive a text with a link to leave feedback. They click the link, and leave their feedback, and it’s all done. We only ask for feedback every six months so as not to ask too much of our patients.”

When the feedback is received, it is instantly visible on the Customer Radar dashboard. The team is also immediately notified by email so they can monitor it easily during the day. All feedback is shared with the team quickly and it’s always good to see the team happy when they get positive reviews, especially when they get mentioned by name. If the practice receives feedback from someone who is not so happy, they call them as quickly as possible to understand the issue and resolve it. All feedback works towards improving the practice’s services and ensuring best practice at all times.

Matthew concludes; “Working with Customer Radar has been great – the platform works well, and it’s quick and easy to set up and use. Once set up it’s pretty hands-off which saves us time and effort. Our patients are happy with both being asked for feedback and giving it. We can easily monitor and manage the feedback ensuring nothing is overlooked”.

The Impact:

 
“Managing feedback easily and using it constructively means everyone wins – happy customers help to build our growing reputation in the market, our team is always boosted by the positive feedback and it gives us the chance to identify where we need to make changes to improve our services.”
