Letters to the Editor: Your patients are talking: Isn’t it time you take responsibility for your online reputation?


 

“YOUR PATIENTS ARE TALKING: ISN’T IT TIME YOU TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ONLINE REPUTATION?”

RON ROMANO AND NEIL H. BAUM, MD (NOVEMBER 2016)


Eschews meaningless Internet obfuscation

As a practicing physician I don’t have time for social media and its accompanying advertising rationale; it’s a wasteland that replaces television. My patients and I go one-on-one, eye-to-eye, and eschew meaningless Internet obfuscation. Don’t we have better things to do with our physician/patient relationship than check online reviews?
