Show Notes
Dr. Leonard “Len” Tau isn’t just The Reviews Doctor; he helped write the playbook for turning Google stars into scheduled new patients. A former practice owner who finished with 2,000+ reviews at a 4.7★ rating, Len founded iSocial Reviews (acquired by Birdeye in 2014) and now leads Birdeye’s dental division, advising 11,000+ practices. He’s a nationally requested speaker and host of the Raving Patients podcast. When it comes to reputation and ROI, Len is the guy dentists call.
In this episode, we get ultra-practical: why Google reviews dominate patient choice, the thresholds that unlock ROI for your practice, how “review velocity” beats your competitor, and the simple in-office workflow to collect consistent reviews (without nagging patients). We also dig into listings/NAP consistency, Map Pack visibility, and how AI summarizes your reputation for patients before they click through to your website.
