Physician reputations are at risk
Patients and referring clinicians to future
employers routinely perform Google
searches for their radiologists or
interviewees
If an inappropriate personal post or
negative review is found, it could sway
their perception or increase
their likelihood of changing physicians
10. Protect your
brand
Radiologists’ online reputations aren’t
only made or broken on social media:
they’re also deeply affected by physician
review websites like Health Grades,
RateMDs, and even Yelp
It’s common for dissatisfied patients to
turn to these sites, and reviews could
impact a referring physician’s decision to
employ a particular radiologist or
radiology practice for image
interpretation
11. Solicit
positivity
Many of the search engine site
algorithms allow positive reviews to
push down the negative ones
Providing your patients the
opportunity to voice opinions
directly to you including via social
media platforms
Hire social medial or reputation
management firms
