  Today I’m joined by Ajay Prasad, founder of Repugen—a reputation management company that helps healthcare providers like acupuncturists strengthen their digital presence by collecting and managing patient reviews.In this episode, Ajay and I explore how online reviews can help you build trust, attract more acupuncture patients, and even increase the value of your practice if you decide to sell later on.We cover lots of practical insights, including:The best time to ask for reviews—and how to ask in a way that feels naturalWhat to do about negative reviews (and whether they’re really as damaging as they seem)Why it’s so important for your online reputation to reflect the quality of care you actually provideWhat many practitioners get wrong about reputation managementAnd a reminder that most patients won’t leave a review unless they’re asked—but many are happy to say yes when promptedIf it’s been a while since you asked for reviews, this episode is your reminder. Social proof matters, and reviews are one of the most powerful ways to build it.So if you're in a country where healthcare providers can ask for reviews—because I know that’s not the case everywhere—then I hope this conversation encourages you to start asking regularly.SHOW NOTES:Digital reputation management: Repugen.comPatient acquisition and comprehensive digital marketing: GMRwebteam.com🩵 Today's episode is sponsored by AcuHub. 🩵AcuHub provides remote reception specifically for acupuncture practices.
