Parent feedback and Google reviews for pediatric practices, with a signed BAA
Your patients are children, so the feedback and the reviews come from parents. Spokk messages the parent or guardian after each visit, sends low ratings to your team straight away, and invites every family to review you on Google, under a signed Business Associate Agreement.

Why it matters
What feedback and reviews do for pediatric practices
Parents read reviews closely
97% of consumers read online reviews for local businesses, and 68% only consider businesses rated four stars or higher.
BrightLocal Local Consumer Review Survey, 2026
Sick visits and checkups are different
A parent waiting with a feverish child judges the wait differently from a parent at a routine checkup. Feedback after every visit shows you both.
Families stay for years
Hearing about a rushed visit or a confusing bill early keeps a family with you through every checkup that follows.
How it works
What happens after every visit
- Step 1
After the visit
The visit goes into Spokk
Front desk adds the family, or your practice system sends name, contact details, visit time, location and pediatrician or nurse. Nothing clinical.
- Step 2
A few hours later
Spokk asks how it went
A short, neutral text or email. One reminder if there is no answer, and nothing that mentions why they came in.
- Step 3
After their feedback
Every family is invited to review you
The same Google invitation for everyone, with a draft written from what they told you. They edit it and post it themselves.
- Step 4
When reviews arrive
You reply, safely
Spokk suggests a reply to each new Google review that never confirms someone is a family. You approve every one.
When to ask
Send the request to the parent or guardian a few hours after the visit. Families with several children are not asked after every sibling's appointment: you choose how long Spokk waits before asking the same contact again.
The texts
Neutral messages families are comfortable receiving
Every message thanks the family for their visit and links to a short private form. Nothing says why they came in, because texts and emails are not encrypted once they leave our systems.
- Sent between 8am and 9pm in your time zone unless you choose other hours.
- Anyone who replies STOP is never texted again, and families without a mobile get email.
- Patients under 18 can be skipped automatically.
- You choose how long Spokk waits before asking the same family again.

Feedback
Private feedback from every family
A short form by text or email. Answers go to owners and managers straight away, low ratings included, so someone can follow up the same day. Front-desk accounts can send requests without reading what families wrote.
Questions you could ask
- How was your child's visit today?
- How long did you wait past your appointment time?
- Did the doctor explain things in a way that made sense?
- How well did our team help your child feel at ease?
- How easy was it to get an appointment?
Families can also rate the pediatrician or nurse who looked after them. You see each rating on the response and in your export.

How was your visit?
Google reviews
Google reviews from every family, and replies that protect them
Every family gets the same invitation, with a draft built from their own words that they edit and post themselves. Spokk never posts reviews for anyone.
Ask parents, never children
Add the parent or guardian as the contact. Their reviews are the ones other parents read when choosing a pediatrician.
Keep replies general
Thank parents without mentioning their child, their visit or any condition, even if the parent did.
Answer worried parents quickly
A parent's negative review is often about a wait or a phone call that went unanswered. Invite them to call the practice manager, and fix the process behind it.
Replying to a review without confirming a family
Says too much
“Thanks Maria! So glad Emma's ear infection cleared up. Dr. Lee says hi!”
Safe to post
“Thank you for the lovely review. We will share it with the whole team.”
Spokk suggests a general reply for every new Google review, and nothing posts until you approve it.
Good to know
Things pediatric practices should plan for
Message the parent or guardian
Add the parent or guardian as the contact for each visit, at the number or address they prefer. Patients under 18 can be skipped automatically, so a child is never messaged directly.
No child's name or symptoms in messages
Write "today's visit". Texts and emails are not encrypted once they leave our systems, and a family phone may be shared.
Front desk sends, managers read
Reception can send requests without seeing what parents wrote.
The Healthcare plan
What you get, and what we leave out on purpose
A focused plan your practice manager can explain to the team in five minutes, under a signed Business Associate Agreement.
Private patient feedback
A short form by text or email after each visit. Ratings, comments and clinician ratings land in your private dashboard, and low ratings reach your team straight away.
Google review invitations
Every patient gets the same invitation to review you on Google, whatever their rating, with an AI draft written from what they shared. Patients edit it and post it from their own account.
AI review replies
Spokk drafts replies to your new Google reviews for you to approve. Keep them general: a reply should never confirm that someone is a patient.
Automated texts and emails
Feedback requests and reminders go out on their own after each visit, at the times you choose.
Clinician ratings
Patients can rate the clinician who looked after them on the same form. You see each rating with the patient's feedback and in your export, for every location.
Front-desk accounts
Front-desk staff can send feedback requests without being able to read what patients wrote.
How your patients' information is protected
Separate, US-based hosting
Your account runs in Spokk's dedicated healthcare environment on Amazon Web Services in the United States, kept apart from Spokk's standard service, which never holds patient information.
Encrypted at rest and in transit
AES-256 encryption for the database, stored files, backups and logs, and TLS 1.2 or higher for all traffic over the internet.
Every access is recorded
Each view, change and export of patient feedback is logged: who, which record and when. The log cannot be edited and is kept for six years.
Only the data we need
Name, phone, email, contact preferences and consent, visit date and time, location and clinician. Never diagnoses, clinical notes, medications, insurance details, Social Security numbers or dates of birth from your systems. Patients under 18 can be skipped automatically.
Not on this plan
- Loyalty rewards
- Referral rewards
- Testimonials (video, image and text) and the Wall of Love
These market to patients or put patient stories on public pages, which HIPAA generally allows only with each patient's written authorization.
