Orthopaedic clinics · Review generation
Ask when the plaster comes off, not while the patient is still limping in.
Review generation for an orthopaedic clinic is asking patients for a review at the point in their recovery when they are able and willing to write one. GullySales sets the moment for each kind of patient, the person who asks and the words used, and keeps the ask clear of anything a medical council or a platform would object to.
A 90-minute audit call and a written, scored report. Turnaround, reporting and term are agreed in writing after the audit.
What review generation means
In a clinic or practice a review is a public statement by a patient, and asking for one is restricted or unwise in several regulated professions. Review generation here is proof that does not depend on a patient writing in public: the professional listing kept accurate, the note back to the referring doctor, and a reply that never confirms somebody was a patient. GullySales sets that up and tracks what arrives without soliciting it.

For orthopaedic clinics
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The first visit is the wrong moment”
A patient in pain, waiting for an X-ray, is in no mood to rate anyone. The right moment comes later, at a review visit, when they can walk to the counter.
“Elderly patients are seldom the ones who write”
An elderly man after a hip replacement may never post a review, but the daughter who sat through every visit might. She writes about her own experience of the clinic, never in his voice.
“Asking only the pleased ones breaks the rules”
Choosing who gets the link by how happy they look is review gating. Platforms forbid it, and a page of identical five-star reviews gives it away.
What we do
What we deliver for orthopaedic clinics.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A moment set for each kind of patient
Plaster removal for fractures, the last rehab session for sports injuries and the post-surgery review visit for joint replacements, written into the front desk routine.
Result: The ask comes when the patient has something to say.
A QR card at the billing counter
A printed card and a short link to the Google profile, in English and the local language, handed over with the final bill.
Result: A willing patient reaches the review box in one scan.
Wording about the visit, not the outcome
A message asking about the wait, how the surgeon explained things and how the staff treated them, saying nothing about results.
Result: Reviews describe what the clinic controls.
One rule for asking everybody
No choosing patients, no gifts or free physiotherapy sessions, no staff quotas and no reviews typed at the counter on the patient's phone.
Result: The reviews hold up if a platform looks at them.
A single WhatsApp reminder for those who said later
One message with the link for patients who agreed at the counter but had no time, and nothing after that.
Result: A patient who meant to write gets one easy nudge.
How the result is measured
- Reviews received
- Average rating
- Response rate to requests
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Asking patients for reviews
When to ask each orthopaedic patient for a review, and what never to do.
- Fractures: at plaster removal
- The patient leaves with a free arm or leg and a lighter mood. The front desk hands over the QR card with the final bill. Never ask in casualty or on the day of the injury.
- Sports injuries: after the last rehab session
- The physiotherapist who saw them through rehab knows the moment. Ask whether they would share their experience of the clinic, and send the link on WhatsApp if they agree.
- Joint replacements: at the follow-up visit
- Ask at the review visit once the patient is walking with support. If a son or daughter handled everything, they may review their own experience, in their own words.
- Never: gating, gifts or staff quotas
- Offer no discount, free session or gift, and set no review targets for staff. Never pick who is asked by how happy they seem. Check the platform's current rules before you start.
- Leave out patients with complications
- Do not ask patients who were readmitted, have an infection, face a revision surgery or have complained. They need the surgeon's time, not a review request.
- A thank-you on each new review
- Thank each reviewer by first name in a line, without confirming the procedure. Doctors' advertising rules vary between councils, so keep replies to the visit, never the result.

Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
- You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
- You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.
How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Free audit call
90 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.
After the call
Written, scored report
Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come with it, in writing.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.
As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.
How the work runs for orthopaedic clinics
- 1
Assess
We look at where consultations come from, how fast WhatsApp reports get a reply, the Maps listing for each consulting address, and how many patients advised surgery went quiet.
- 2
Fix the reply
A named person for calls and WhatsApp, replies that offer a slot without diagnosing, and a register of every enquiry by condition.
- 3
Write the condition pages
Pages for knee, hip, shoulder, spine, fractures and sports injuries, with the surgeon, the hospitals and the report route on each.
- 4
Bring patients in
Maps, reviews asked at the right point in recovery, letters to referring GPs and physios, and ads for procedures where the surgeon has theatre time.
- 5
Follow up and measure
Calls to patients advised surgery and to those due for review, with the reason recorded for each, set against the baseline.
Proof
What happened when owners fixed this.
Real clients, the work we did, and the result as it was recorded. Where no number was recorded, none is claimed.

- Website rebuilt around patient needs
- Search visibility
- Social media on a schedule
- Review management
- Result
- Organic traffic increased 60% within six months

Nanda Arthritis and Rheumatology Center

- What we did
- A website for patients
- Search work
- Google Business and reviews
- Lead capture and advertising
- Result
- No numbers were recorded for this engagement. The work is described in full in the case study.

Why us
Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.
Marketing and sales, as one job

No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.
A baseline before anything starts
Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.
The fee in writing, split three ways
Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.
