VetReviews · Client surveys

Hear from every client, before they get to their car.

VetReviews sends a short survey the moment the appointment ends, which is why people answer it. What happens next is yours to set: an unhappy client gets a call from a manager, a happy one can be pointed to your review page. You control the flow. We show you the trends.

Why practices come to us

You are already asking. The problem is how little comes back

Nearly every practice has tried a survey. The ask is not the hard part. Getting enough answers to mean anything, and doing something useful with them, is.

Hardly anyone answers

A survey sent that evening, or printed at the bottom of an invoice, reaches people who have moved on to the rest of their day. A handful of replies a month cannot tell you anything about your practice.

The bad visit goes public first

You hear about it from a review, days later, with no name attached and nothing left to do. A phone call that same evening would have ended somewhere else entirely.

Answers pile up, nothing improves

A folder of responses is not a trend. You cannot see whether this month beat last month, which of your regulars cooled off, or who on your team your clients keep naming.

More answers

The timing is most of the answer

We do not wait until the evening and hope. The survey lands while your client is still walking out, and that one difference is what fills your dashboard instead of your spam folder.

It arrives before they have left

VetReviews watches your practice management system for the end of the appointment and sends the survey then, while the visit is the last thing that happened to them. A survey that goes out that evening competes with dinner, homework and everything else.

It is short, and it stays short

Long surveys get abandoned halfway. The questions your clients see are the few that earn their place, and the rest of the survey depends on what they already told you.

There is nothing to sign into

No account, no app, no password. Whatever you have tried before that asked a client to log in is the reason you are reading this page.

And a small bribe

We are not above bribery either

Chick-fil-A will hand you a free sandwich for filling out their survey, and it works, because of course it does. We cannot cook. So VetReviews does the veterinary version: your practice donates a small amount to a local shelter for every survey a client finishes, and the client chooses which one.

It turns out that people who love animals enough to own one will happily answer a few questions to send a few dollars to a rescue. It is the cheapest lift in response rate we know of, and the money ends up somewhere you would have been glad to send it anyway.

You set the amount and you pick the shelters. VetReviews keeps the running total owed to each one, by month, so the promise your survey makes is one you can actually keep.

Last question

You control the flow

What a client says decides what happens next

Everyone gets the same survey. Where it goes after the first answer is a choice you make, and you can change it any afternoon without calling us.

Everyone

How did you hear about us, and how was your visit

Unhappy

Send in a manager

  • They tell you what went wrong, in their words
  • Offer them a call from a manager
  • Your lead is emailed while it still matters
  • It sits in a follow up queue until someone clears it
In between

Find out what was missing

  • Ask what would have made the visit better
  • The detail a monthly average never shows you
  • Usually one fixable thing, said plainly
Happy

Let them say it out loud

  • Ask who looked after them so the credit lands
  • Point them to wherever you collect reviews
  • Google, Facebook or Yelp, your choice and your order
  • See how many of them actually got there

Everyone again

Pick the shelter the donation goes to. Asked on every path, because it was offered to everybody.

Drag a question where you want it. Add one, drop one, reorder them, or put the review question in front of everybody. It arrives set up the way our own hospital runs it, so you have something that works on day one and can change it later.

Before it reaches Google

Catch the bad visit while you can still fix it

An unhappy client is asked what went wrong and whether they would like a manager to call. That answer is worth more than any score, and you have it the same afternoon rather than reading it in public next week.

Whoever owns client experience at your practice gets an email with the complaint in it. It goes into a queue that shows how long it has been sitting there, and closing it out is one click that records who did it. Nothing quietly goes cold.

Most of the time that call is the whole fix. The client wanted someone to know, and you are the one who heard it first.

We are sorry to hear that. What happened?

"We waited almost an hour past our appointment time."

Yes, have a manager call me

The same survey, taken by a client whose morning did not go well.

We capture the trends

Month over month, not a pile of answers

The point of collecting this is to notice something. Every response is scored, compared to what that client thought last time, and rolled into the month, so a slide shows up as a slide instead of a feeling.

Returning client, score fell

J. Alvarez scored 5 in June, 2 today. Awaiting follow up.

  • Scores by month, so you can see whether anything is changing
  • How many clients answered, and how many you asked
  • Your split of happy, indifferent and unhappy clients
  • Who your clients name, and how often
  • Returning clients whose opinion of you dropped
  • Anything waiting on a manager, and how long it has waited
  • How many happy clients went on to your review page
  • How new clients heard about you
  • Donations owed, by charity, by month

The row nobody else would show you

A regular who scored you top marks in June and poorly today is the most useful thing this product produces. It is not a bad month, it is one relationship going wrong, with a name attached and time left to save it.

For your team

The part your staff will ask about

Clients who had a good visit are asked who looked after them, and they pick a face from your team. Those answers add up to a board that says, by name, who your clients keep coming back for.

It is the one number in here that people chase on purpose. A monthly average is something a manager reads. Being named by twelve clients is something a technician tells their family about.

What it asks of you

Almost nothing, once it is on

VetReviews runs off the appointment in your practice management system. Whatever you run, connecting it is our job, not yours. There is no list to upload, no export to schedule and nothing to hand to the front desk.

Nobody has to remember to ask

The survey goes out on the visit, not on whether the front desk had a spare minute at checkout. Your sample stops being the clients somebody happened to catch.

No new screen in anyone’s day

There is no script at the counter and no tablet by the door. Your managers get a page for responses and follow ups, and that is the only place anyone signs in.

One survey per visit, and a no that sticks

A client who asks not to be messaged is not messaged again, and a client who told you that already is never asked in the first place. A survey that annoys people costs more than it collects.

It comes with your history

Already running something on a free form? We bring those answers across, so your first month has real months behind it instead of starting from nothing.

Where it came from

We built this for our own hospital first

Mountain View Animal Hospital has surveyed its clients since the day it opened, and it is the single reason the practice holds a 5.0 rating. It started as a free form held together by hand, and it worked well enough that it was worth building properly.

VetReviews is that survey with the parts the form could not do. It knows who is coming back, it tells a manager when something went wrong, and it keeps the months side by side.

Part of VetSuite

VetReviews is not sold on its own.

One price per hospital gets you every product we make.
