Overall Satisfaction with PatientPop

I thought that having PatientPop manage my website and online presence was something my business could benefit from. Sales team is VERY aggressive, makes promises that they never deliver and more importantly, I decided after meeting with the team, that changing the current website was not ideal for everyone. So after 2 business days from signing what was not told to me was a contract, I informed Sales rep that I wanted to cancel. I also never received a copy of this said contract. There was also going to be training, new website design, etc., none of that was performed. It was informed to me that before I could be a member of PatientPop, I would have to go through these training sessions. Again, NONE OF THAT WAS DONE.

The only thing that was done stealthily and without my consent, was PatientPop was charging my credit card without sending me any invoice or notification for $600 a month. I was unaware, because 1. Sales rep signed me up for $950 a month. 2. I informed sales rep I wanted to cancel within 3 business days. 3. NO SERVICE WAS EVER PERFORMED. They essentially stole money from my credit card fraudulently. Now after I disputed the charges, they are disputing my credit card dispute! This is a complete waste of my time because their sales rep was not straightforward and very aggressive in his sales tactics. Now my credit card is saying that PatientPop does not bill in US dollars and they will refund the currency after the conversion if the dispute goes through. PatientPop also NEVER sent me a copy of what they considered a contract. Without a copy, I do not know what I signed, and what was told to me was that nothing would begin until after the mandatory training session and new website was uploaded and running. NONE of this was done.

I also hate their commercials online, where they depict the Doctors in the waiting room and the patients interviewing them like a game. It completely undermines the RESPECT that doctors deserve especially in the times of COVID19. Whether you like it or not, you will need a skilled health care professional. And it won't be us worrying about lack of patients. Because it takes decades to train us and there will always be a need. So here is your review, PatientPop. You unlawfully fraudulently charged my credit card for 4 months without me knowing because you charged a random amount of $600 when the amount was not even that. Now I know why my friend who is a dentist in NY left and is using another private company. The sales person is only interested in that, sales and their bonuses. They (sales rep) make so many promises, but in reality, they don't even understand the complexity of SEO and website design, etc. Money is hard to make. Honest money, even harder. PatientPop essentially stole money from my accounts during the time of a pandemic when the funds could and should have been used to buy PPE, etc. They are also very expensive. I have a personal contact that I can refer professionals to if they are interested however, he can only take a few because that is his side job.
  • Empty promises.
  • Not sending invoices of copy of contracts.
  • Fraudulently charging credit card account for a random amount.
  • Aggressive sales personnel.
  • Undermines the healthcare field in their cheap commercials online.
  • Should conduct business appropriately.
  • Should provide copy of contracts and invoices.
  • Should notify subscribes of when their credit cards are being billed.
  • Lack of respect for the healthcare professionals in their commercials.
  • They stole $600 a month for 4 months until I found out since they never sent an invoice or a contract. And contract agreed was $950.
  • I canceled within 2 business days.
  • Sales rep was borderline harassing my cell phone. And yet, when we did speak he never informed me that I was being charged.
Be careful with their aggressive sales tactics. Take the time you need, do not rush into such decisions for your business. There are many many other companies out there.
