The power of professional endorsements

Patients want to be seen by healthcare professionals that others in the industry recommend. 

It’s why asking for and giving online professional endorsements is becoming so powerful. These recommendations allow you to verify your skills online and stand out as a true expert in your field. Having access to these endorsements also helps patients find you and other healthcare professionals they can wholeheartedly trust. 

Are you interested in finding out more about the growing importance of professional endorsements? This blog explores why online endorsements are so valuable to you and your patients. We also look at professional endorsements on Doctify and how to get set up using the feature right away.

Online professional endorsements are fast becoming the norm

Professional endorsements are already the norm in industries outside of healthcare. Take LinkedIn, where peer reviews help businesses hire great new employees and find trustworthy partners.

At Doctify, we are setting the new healthcare industry standard. Our platform enables healthcare professionals to leave and collect professional endorsements and importantly, display them online. That way, patients can read endorsements from healthcare professionals at the same time as feedback left by fellow patients.

Why do patients want to read professional endorsements?

“How do I find the best doctor for my treatment?” “How do I know they are the right doctor for me?” 

These are questions that many patients struggle with when looking to make decisions about their health and wellbeing. Having access to online professional endorsements enables patients to answer these queries and feel confident before coming to see you. 

Here’s how professional endorsements support patients:

• They build trust and confidence
• They highlight your experience
• They showcase your expertise
• They act as stamps of approval

Professional endorsements help patients feel at ease. They enable patients to tap into other experts’ honest experiences, giving them another tool to use in order to make the right choices about their healthcare. They recognise that they are going to be seen by someone who is truly respected in their field.
