The last step after every consultation — sent automatically, no extra work. Mark a visit complete and a WhatsApp request goes to the patient with a direct link to your Google review page.
Part of FormAlert's full booking-to-review flow — see how it all connects →
When someone searches "dentist near me" on Google, they check the rating and the number of reviews first. Most Indian private practices have fewer than 100 reviews, even after years in business — the practice down the road with 400 ranks above them and gets the call.
Asking patients for a review face-to-face feels awkward, so most doctors never ask. FormAlert sends a review request on WhatsApp the moment you mark a visit complete — while the visit is still fresh. You never have to ask, and it works the same way for walk-ins and video consultations as it does for online bookings.
The same system handles reminders that reduce no-shows — more patients showing up means more review requests sent.
From the moment a patient books to the moment they leave a review, FormAlert handles the communication. You confirm appointments and mark visits complete — that's it.
The moment a patient submits a booking request, you get a WhatsApp notification with their name, the date, time, and reason for visit. Approve or reject from your phone.
Once you confirm the appointment, the patient receives a WhatsApp confirmation with their date, time, practitioner's name, and token number. They know they're booked.
The evening before the appointment, a reminder goes out. Date, time, practitioner's name. Patient can confirm or reschedule with one reply. Business plan.
A second reminder on the morning of the appointment. Two reminders cut no-shows. Business plan.
Fewer empty slots means more consultations, more revenue, and more opportunities to impress a patient.
You mark the visit complete in your dashboard. A WhatsApp message goes to the patient with a link to your Google review page. One tap. They're on the form while your practice is still fresh in their mind.
More reviews means a higher position in local search results for 'doctor near me'. New patients see your rating, read the reviews, and book. The same system that kept your existing patients showing up brought you a new one.
These same reminders also cover follow-up visits you schedule — see how follow-up reminders work →
"New patients tell us they found us on Google — that never used to happen."

Set it up once. Every completed visit triggers a WhatsApp review request. 14-day free trial, no credit card needed.
Start free trial →A QR standee at reception is a good start — generate one free if you don't have one yet. But it only works if the patient notices it, remembers it after they leave, and feels like scanning it later. Automation removes all three conditions.
| FormAlert automation | Static QR code | |
|---|---|---|
| When it reaches the patient | Moment the visit is marked complete | Only if they notice and scan it themselves |
| Depends on staff remembering | No — runs automatically | Yes — someone has to point it out |
| Visibility into who's been asked | Tracked per patient in your dashboard | No way to know who scanned it |
| Setup | Set it up once, runs on every visit | Print and place — works for walk-by traffic |
They're not either/or — a QR code at reception catches walk-in traffic; automation covers every patient, including the ones who never look up from their phone. Most clinics run both. See the full comparison in the Google reviews guide →

Google review automation isn't a premium feature — it's on both plans from day one.
Review automation runs on the same booking system you can embed on your own website — WordPress or otherwise. One embed gives you both: a live booking calendar, and every completed visit feeding into automatic review requests.
