When we hear the term “customer service,” healthcare isn’t the first industry that comes to mind. Patients are indeed customers and healthcare is one of the most crucial industries where customer service is vital.
“It takes years to build a reputation and seconds to destroy it” is one of Warren Buffett’s most famous quotes. Physicians work tirelessly to build their reputation and run a private practice, the last thing they want is their patients not feeling cared for.
In a world where reviews are readily available, customer experience matters more than it’s ever before. With the world at the palm of our hand, patients have the ability to make or break your practice within a matter of seconds.
It can take roughly 40 positive reviews to recover the damage from one negative review.
Numbers speak louder than words! Did you know that 90% of consumers take customer service into account when deciding to do business with a company. According to PatientPop, 72% of patients say their first step in finding a new doctor is checking online reviews.
According to FreshDesk, customer service experience can indicate the quality of care whereas poor customer service can be an indicator of some bigger problems.
Patients are often at their most vulnerable state when they reach out to their healthcare provider and poor customer service can make them feel stressed out.
The first step to great customer experience is connecting your patients with a real voice.
