Healthgrades, the online service for rating healthcare providers, plans to offer enhanced services for dentists through a partnership with Sesame Communications.
The partnership will provide dental practitioners with premium access to millions of prospective patients searching for dental services. Last year, consumers conducted more than 20 million searches seeking local dental care providers on the healthgrades.com site in the U.S.
The partnership between Sesame and Healthgrades will provide dental providers using Dental Sesame or Ortho Sesame with Healthgrades Enhanced Profile Services that will enable online appointment requests (directly into the physician workflow provided by Sesame), preferred profile placement on local searches, and publication of verified, quantitative practice reviews on healthgrades.com.
Sesame is currently preselling Healthgrades Enhanced Profile Services, integrated with Sesame services, prior to the official launch at the ADA meeting on October 31 in New Orleans.
