Review response guide

How to respond to a negative review for a Chiropractic Clinic

Chiropractic replies must protect privacy, don't confirm someone was a patient or reference any treatment or condition.

A negative review is public, and it's read by far more people than the one who wrote it. Your reply isn't really for the upset customer, it's for the next hundred people deciding whether to trust you. Handle it well and a bad review can actually win you business.

Use four beats: acknowledge the specific problem, apologize without making excuses, say what you're doing about it, and invite them to continue offline. Keep it to a few sentences, stay warm, and never get defensive.

Example

Didn't feel any better and it was pricey.

A reply that works

I'm sorry your experience didn't meet your expectations, that's important to us. Care and pricing are best discussed privately; please call the office and ask for me.

Tip: Stay generic, never confirm treatment or discuss results publicly.
