Your patients appreciated their visit. Now get them to say so on Google.
Spokk removes the privacy barrier that stops sexual health clinic patients from leaving reviews. An automated SMS, a private feedback form, and an AI-drafted review ready to post, all focused on the experience rather than the specific reason for visiting.

The privacy paradox: patients loved their visit. They just can't say where they went.
This is the specific challenge of running a sexual health clinic that no other type of healthcare business has quite as acutely. Your patient had a genuinely great experience. The nurse was patient and professional. They felt respected, not judged. Results were clear and came back quickly. They left feeling relieved and grateful.
And then they got home and had absolutely zero intention of writing a Google review, because “[Name] Sexual Health Clinic” appearing anywhere near their name online is not something most people want. Even a five-star review. Even one that says only positive things. The association itself is the barrier.
Here's the thing though. Most of those same patients would leave a review if the review was framed correctly. Not about what they were tested for. About how the staff made them feel. About the speed of service and the professionalism of the environment. About the fact that they didn't feel judged. That review? They'd post that.
And that review is actually more valuable to your future patients than a highly specific one. Because the 77% of patients who check reviews before choosing a healthcare provider are specifically looking for evidence that the clinic is professional, non-judgmental, and worth trusting. That's exactly what these reviews say.

- ✗ A detailed account of their consultation
What patients will write

- ✓ How fast and clear the results communication was
- ✓ That the environment felt comfortable and discreet
- ✓ That they felt respected and well-cared for
How Spokk gets reviews from patients who would never think to leave one
From visit to Google review in four steps. Completely automated.
Automated SMS sent 2 hours after the visit
The patient receives a short, discreet text using your clinic's name. It includes a private personal link to share their experience. The timing is intentional. Two hours is close enough that the experience is fresh, but enough time for them to be home and relaxed.
Patient rates their experience privately
They tap the link, give a star rating, answer a couple of short questions about the staff and their experience. No login required. No app download. Takes 60-90 seconds and everything stays private in your dashboard.
AI drafts a personalised Google review
Spokk's AI reads what the patient actually wrote and generates a full, natural-sounding Google review in their own voice. The draft mentions the staff member they saw, the qualities of care they noted, and the overall experience. It does not reference specific services or anything identifying. Every draft is unique to that patient.
Patient reads the draft and posts it
The patient receives a nudge at 3 days with the draft ready. They read it, edit anything they want, copy it, and post it from their own Google account. Under 90 seconds. Fully compliant with Google's review policies.
What sexual health clinic reviews actually say. And why they work.
Let me explain what I mean by “the right kind of review for this space.” The most effective sexual health clinic reviews on Google have a specific shape. They do not reveal why the patient visited. They focus on the experience. And they address the exact anxieties that are stopping someone from booking their first appointment.
"The staff were incredibly professional and made me feel completely at ease. I would definitely return."
This addresses the #1 reason people delay or avoid testing entirely: fear of judgment.
"Results were communicated clearly within 24 hours. Really efficient process."
Uncertainty about results turnaround is a common concern. Seeing reviews that confirm quick, clear communication reduces a specific barrier.
"Very professional and discreet. I felt comfortable from the moment I walked in."
New patients are often anxious about visibility. Reviews that mention discretion and privacy directly address that.
"[Staff member] was kind, patient, and thorough. Fantastic experience."
Reviews that name a staff member feel more credible and authentic. They also reinforce your best performers publicly.
These are the reviews that convert someone who has been putting off getting tested into a patient who books an appointment. A Harvard Business School study found that a single-star increase in average rating leads to a 5-9% revenue increase. In a space where stigma is the primary barrier to entry, the effect is likely even larger.
Fully compliant with Google's review policies. Here's exactly what that means.
There's a lot of confusion in the market about what's allowed when it comes to review generation. Let me be clear about what Spokk does and does not do.
What Spokk does
- ✓ Collects real feedback from real patients who actually visited
- ✓ Uses that feedback to generate a draft review in the patient's own voice
- ✓ Lets patients edit, reject, or post the draft as they choose
- ✓ Sends review requests to all patients, not just positive ones
- ✓ Allows any patient to independently leave a Google review at any time
What Spokk does not do
- ✗ Block or prevent unhappy patients from leaving a Google review
- ✗ Route negative reviews away from Google (review gating)
- ✗ Fabricate reviews or post reviews on patients' behalf
- ✗ Post duplicate or templated reviews
- ✗ Pay patients or offer incentives for positive reviews
The private feedback channel is a service-recovery tool, not a review suppression mechanism. Patients who rate below the threshold get a direct line to you, not a dead end. Any patient who wants to leave a negative Google review can still do so independently. Spokk does not and cannot block this.
