"The first thing is try to avoid having a disgruntled patient getting out there and venting," said Sacopulos. "The more you and your staff can do to calm down a person and address the issues while they're still in the office, the less likely you're going to have a negative online situation."

Sacopulos suggests to look at the terms of use of the websites. He said often times there are comments or provisions that the poster has violated and this is a very affective way of getting the negative post removed.
