Reputation Management for Doctors & Clinics – United Press UK

Reputation Management for Doctors & Clinics

For doctors, dentists, surgeons and clinics, an unfair review can affect real patient decisions. We help healthcare professionals across the UK protect their reputation from damaging reviews and content — ethically, compliantly and with the sensitivity the sector requires. Alongside reputation work, our specialist healthcare PR agency earns positive media coverage that builds lasting trust.

Reputation Management for Doctors & Clinics carries a duty of care that ordinary review management does not. Patients choosing a GP, dentist, cosmetic clinic or private consultant are making a health decision, and they read reviews far more carefully than they read reviews of a restaurant. A single unfair or defamatory review can deter patients for years. We work strictly within platform policy and UK law: reporting reviews that breach policy, dealing with content that names staff or discloses patient information, and building authoritative coverage that reflects the standard of care you actually provide. Providers regulated by the Care Quality Commission face additional scrutiny, so every submission we make is documented. See how this sits alongside our wider work on our full list of services.

What We Do

Reputation Management for Doctors & Clinics — Frequently Asked Questions

Can you remove a negative review from a patient?

Only reviews that breach a platform’s policies — such as fake, defamatory or clinically false reviews — can be reported for removal. We assess each one and never guarantee removal.

What about reviews that breach patient confidentiality?

We prioritise these, reporting content that exposes confidential patient information through the correct channels and within data-protection rules.

Can you help protect an individual doctor or surgeon?

Yes. We protect both individual clinicians and practices, combining removals, suppression and authoritative content.

Is this compliant with GMC/GDC and GDPR?

Yes. We work within professional-body expectations and UK data-protection law at every stage.

Can you improve my clinic’s star rating?

We help you ethically generate genuine patient reviews, which is the most sustainable way to improve your rating.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the scale and complexity of your situation. We start with a free consultation and audit, then provide a tailored proposal.

Can you remove a review that names a member of our clinical staff?

Often, yes. Most platforms prohibit reviews that identify individual staff members in a way that exposes them to harassment, and content that discloses patient information generally breaches both platform policy and data protection law. We assess each case and submit the appropriate report.

Do you work with private clinics as well as NHS practices?

Yes. We support GP surgeries, dental practices, cosmetic and aesthetic clinics, private consultants and multi-site healthcare groups across the UK. The approach adapts to the platforms that matter most for each setting.

What can realistically be removed?

Content that breaches a platform policy or UK law: reviews from people who were never patients, defamatory statements presented as fact, posts disclosing confidential information, and impersonation profiles. Genuine criticism from a real patient cannot be removed, and any agency promising otherwise is not being straight with you. There we focus on suppression and on building genuine positive coverage.

How long does the process take?

Straightforward removals are usually resolved within two to four weeks of submission. Suppression work, where a damaging result needs to be displaced by stronger authoritative coverage, typically takes two to four months depending on how entrenched the result is.
