PatientPop is a medical practice management platform that claims to also offer marketing services.
PatientPop is based in Santa Monica, California, and is one of the largest companies in the sector with over $38 million in revenue in 2022.
Despite being a leader in the field, not all doctors and physician practices have been pleased with the services, citing a number of problems (outlined below).
When it comes to PatientPop reviews, not all doctors are happy. As you can see from the reviews below, some former clients feel very strongly about the services they have received.
Former clients of PatientPop frequently cite the following complaints:
That's right. The most important piece of internet real estate for your practice is owned by PatientPop—not the medical practice. From a business perspective, it's a smart move by PatientPop, as it reduces your ability to leave them. However, from the practice's point of view, it's bad news—it is like constantly renting your practice's building instead of owning it. Any renovations you do will be lost once you move out!
PatientPop insists on signing annual agreements. This means, even if you are not happy after 3 months, you are stuck with the service for the next 9 months. Also, be sure to request for the contract to be terminated in advance and in writing, else you may be automatically contracted into an additional 12 months.
As you can see from the reviews above, some clients complain of a lack of attention and support once the agreement is signed.
