Using RealSelf Review Widgets in TouchMD Content

Let TouchMD help you setup your RealSelf content

Too busy to setup your new RealSelf content and widgets?  Want to learn the best way to utilize the RealSelf widgets in TouchMD?  We want your practice to succeed at using the widgets to gather more reviews for your practice, and use these reviews to build confidence in your practice.  To do this, we are providing a setup and training service to jump start the use of RealSelf widgets in TouchMD. For a small one-time fee of $500 and a $500 annual integration fee we will provide the following:

  • Adding the RealSelf topic sheet to your TouchMD presentation.  This includes placement of your “Write a Review” widget code and your “Read Reviews” widget code for all reviews/procedures on the RealSelf topic sheet.
  • Placement of procedure filtered “Read Reviews” widget codes on all your desired procedure topic sheets.  For example, we can add the “Read Reviews” widget to Coolsculpting topic sheet and have it only display the Coolscupting reviews.
  • TouchMD Instructor led webinar “Best Practice” training.  Using experiences learned from our RealSelf pilot practices, this training includes teaching the staff the best time to ask for reviews, how the patient will enter the review, basic use of the widgets, and using recommendations to receive reviews outside of the office.

To get started, contact us at 888.805.6005 or email us at [email protected].

If you would rather do it yourself, the instructions below will guide you on how to add the RealSelf content and widgets to your TouchMD presentation.  Once added, click here to watch a short video on how to capture a RealSelf review using TouchMD.

Adding the RealSelf content yourself

The following instructions will teach you how to add the RealSelf review widgets to any topic sheet in your TouchMD content.  This includes the ability for your patients to “write” a RealSelf review about your practice/doctor, and/or to “read” reviews about your practice/doctor.

Please Note: The RealSelf review widgets can be added to any content sheet in your TouchMD presentation using the “Add New Section” button, or to the RealSelf stock content sheet.  The steps are the same regardless, but for these instructions we will be adding the RealSelf review widgets to the RealSelf stock content sheet.

      Please Read

      It is important to include this additional text at the end of the URL to ensure that your patient will automatically be logged out of RealSelf after leaving a review while using TouchMD in your office. This will prevent the next patient from leaving a review under the previous patient’s RealSelf account.
