Company Snapshot

McDuffie Dentistry is a one-location dental practice based in Durham, North Carolina.

  • Feb 2017

Too busy to collect patient reviews

Dr. Jamel McDuffie DDS has been providing high quality dental services for years, and both of her offices had steady business with regular patients. However, since the offices only had a few online reviews and most of these were negative, they were ranking below local competitors online. With limited staff and a busy schedule, Dr. McDuffie did not have time to follow up with every patient after an appointment and ask for a review. In order to get new patients, McDuffie Dentistry needed a way to get more Google reviews without disrupting the day-to-day workflow of the offices.

“Patients always tell us how great we are. Now our patients can tell everyone else. Easy to use, set up and Birdeye maintains it.”
