Write a Professional Response to a Negative Patient Review

Prompt
Write a response to a negative online review for a healthcare practice.

Practice name: {{practice_name}}
Practice type: {{practice_type}}
Reviewer's first name: {{reviewer_name}}
Platform: {{platform}} (e.g., Google, Healthgrades, Yelp)
What they complained about: {{complaint}} (e.g., long wait time, felt rushed, billing issue, front desk was unfriendly, disagreed with treatment recommendation)
What you know about the situation: {{context}} (keep this brief — you cannot discuss any clinical details publicly)
Contact person for resolution: {{contact_name}}
Phone number: {{phone}}

CRITICAL RULES for healthcare review responses:
- Do NOT confirm or deny that the reviewer is a patient
- Do NOT reference any clinical details, diagnoses, treatments, or health information
- Do NOT discuss any specifics of their visit or care
- These are HIPAA considerations — even acknowledging someone is a patient can be a violation

The response should:
- Thank them for their feedback
- Express concern that their experience did not meet expectations
- Speak in general terms about your practice's commitment to patient care
- Invite them to contact a specific person to discuss their concerns privately
- Keep it professional and empathetic

Keep the response to 60-100 words. Shorter is better for healthcare review responses due to the HIPAA constraints. The less you say, the less risk there is.

About This Prompt

Creates a HIPAA-conscious response to a negative patient review that shows empathy without confirming the reviewer is a patient or revealing any clinical details.

How to Use

  1. 1. Read the review and identify the core complaint.
  2. 2. Consult with your compliance officer or HIPAA-trained staff before responding.
  3. 3. Remember: you cannot confirm the reviewer is a patient or discuss any details of their care.
  4. 4. Generate the response and review it with compliance in mind.
  5. 5. Have your compliance officer or office manager approve the response before posting.
  6. 6. Keep it short — more words means more risk in healthcare review responses.
  7. 7. Have the contact person ready to handle a private follow-up call.
  8. 8. Document the review and response in your practice's complaint log.

Expected Output

A 60-100 word review response that is empathetic and professional while maintaining HIPAA compliance.

Model-Specific Tips

Good at producing brief, measured responses. Still have compliance staff review before posting.
