Yes — several reputation management platforms support review requests plus SMS consent/opt-in workflows, which is especially useful for specialty practices that need to be careful about compliance and patient communication.
Common options to look at
- Birdeye – reputation management, automated review requests, text messaging, and lead/customer messaging with opt-in handling.
- Podium – strong SMS-based patient communication and review generation; good for multi-location practices.
- NexHealth – more healthcare-focused; integrates patient communication, reminders, and review requests.
- Solutionreach – widely used in healthcare for patient engagement, reminders, reviews, and messaging workflows.
- Weave – phone/SMS/review management with patient communication tools; often used by dental, med spa, and specialty clinics.
- PatientPop / Tebra – practice growth + reputation features, including review requests and patient messaging.
What to verify for specialty practices
Before choosing one, check whether it supports:
- Explicit SMS opt-in / consent capture
- Automated consent documentation
- HIPAA-aware workflows if patient info is involved
- Two-way texting with logging
- Review request triggers tied to appointments or visit completion
- Specialty-specific integrations with your practice management/EHR system
Important compliance note
If you’re handling patient data, make sure the platform is suitable for your compliance needs. Review-request messaging can be tricky if it includes PHI or is sent without proper consent.
If you want, I can also give you:
- a shortlist by specialty (e.g., derm, ortho, dental, fertility), or
- a comparison table of these tools by SMS consent, review automation, and HIPAA readiness.
