Patient Trust and Reputation Management in Dental and Ophthalmology Practices.

Reputation is one of the most significant aspects of an organization. It plays a crucial role in Dentistry and Ophthalmology, significantly influencing the relationship between doctors and patients. Reputation management in these two fields is viewed as a strategic process through which dentists and ophthalmologists can establish patients' trust, thereby ensuring high-quality services and patient satisfaction. The study conducted in this paper aimed to analyze patients' opinions on how the reputation of medical offices and trust in ophthalmologists and dentists influence their decision to choose a particular office. The results showed that the doctors' professionalism and the quality of the equipment used are the most critical factors influencing patients' trust in ophthalmology and dental offices. Additionally, patients primarily evaluate the reputation of these practices based on their previous experiences or recommendations from family and friends.
