Medical tourism ratings and reviews

Has been a couple of months since we launched the desk doctor ratings and reviews. He met with a response variable medical tourism industry and patients themselves.


Medical tourism ratings and reviews on treatment abroad allows patients to provide feedback about your experience of traveling for treatment abroad. The ratings system and opinions is an integral part of our business philosophy of "helping patients make the right choice." It runs through Bazaarvoice, world leading U.S. based on reviews of systems that operate similar systems for companies such as Dell, Sears, Argos and many others.


When a patient presents a review of an agency of medical tourism, a hospital or a clinic, the revision is marked by the team of reviews to ensure that:

The review is valid comment, honest and fair. There is a spurious revision that has been "invented" by a health care provider to promote its facilities or damage the reputation of a competitor. The review does not contain profanity or inappropriate content. The revision does not raise issues of legal liability.

Health care providers and agencies are the opportunity to answer any negative comments.

So. .. What do providers think ratings and reviews of health care?
Is interesting…. medical tourism agencies and health care providers that are "marketing oriented" adopted the approach with enthusiasm. See it as a highly attractive way of generating "word of mouth ' recommendation of its services and do not cost a dime.

Companies like beautiful tours in South Africa and Europe vital in Hungary are actively encouraging your patients to review their services:

Others are less enthusastic .... and I don't know why! Is because they are afraid of patients posting negative comments about your experience? Is because they simply are not connected to the power of "word of mouth" and how consumers whiuch are using the Web to influence the purchase of products and services?

The experience of other sectors shows that:

63% of consumers are more likely to purchase a vendor, if you have ratings and reviews. 77% of online shoppers use reviews and ratings when buying. 82% of people who read reviews said that their purchasing decisions have been directly influenced by those reviews.

Asking people to register their medical tourism experiences should encourage more patients to travel for treatment abroad. And medical tourism, ratings and reviews should help health care providers to tune the "voice of the patient".

So. .. what patients think that?
They love! Feedback about your experiences of medical tourism is overwhelmingly positive, and it's helping to reassure other patients who are considering traveling doctors. Patients are health consumers; typical consumer behavior and is beginning to influence the way they buy health care. If can rate and review your hotel or vacation experience at TripAdvisor .... why not do the same for the medical course?
