These days, it is common to go online to search for the dentist\/doctor\/restaurant with the most 5-star ratings, but concentrating solely on stars without taking a little more time to look for more in-depth reviews can be a big mistake. Keep reading to find out more about why that\u2019s the case and what you should be looking for instead on your search for the best Capital District dentist!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Going beyond Those 5-Stars<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You probably know first hand how easy it is to give out a starred review. Maybe you did it for a discounted haircut or on a whim after a particularly good meal. But when you are looking for someone to take care of your smile, choosing the person with the most stars won\u2019t necessarily equal excellent care. Quality is more valuable than quantity, after all &#8212; especially when it comes to your oral health. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">What Really Matters in an Online Review?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you can\u2019t necessarily rely on 5-star reviews, what SHOULD you be on the lookout for? You can still likely find the information you seek online, you just need to know how to be discerning. Instead of skimming the stars, make sure you read the fine print to find out what patients actually have to say about their experience with the dentist. Then, notice whether or not the practice takes the time to respond to reviews. If so, that is evidence that they are willing to go the extra step to make sure their patients feel listened to and valued! <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Look for Powerful Stories<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">At Capital Smiles, we are pleased to have a number of high-quality, in-depth write-ups for current and prospective patients to read through.
