If you are a physician trying to protect your medical practice from false claims online and to bolster your reputation, you have several review-building program options—eMerit from Medical Justice (that’s us!), Birdeye, Weave, and Reputation Defender are some of the big ones.
eMerit vs. Other Review-Building Programs
While competitors promise some of the same core benefits as our eMerit program does—a dashboard for monitoring your online reviews, as well as a review collection workflow to boost your online presence—a close comparison reveals that most of these programs’ benefits end there.
Niche medico-legal expertise comes naturally to our team. By contrast, many review-monitoring systems are run by marketing professionals who may lack the nuanced understanding of both a medical practice and the legal landscape in which you operate.

eMerit from Medical Justice membership includes additional priceless benefits that are not part of our competitors’ plans, including:
- Access to our direct medico-legal hotline, for anytime there is a whiff of a medico-legal headache
- Customized, lawyer-reviewed templates to assist with patient conflict resolution, i.e. unjustified demands for refunds and patient dismissals
- Help when you are in a dicey legal scenario, i.e. deterrence and early action against frivolous lawsuits, or helping to locate volunteer experts to help when you are a defendant
- Accretion of retroactive coverage over time, beginning with the time you joined Medical Justice, for past issues
We have even worked to help our clients petition Google to reinstate missing organic reviews that were erroneously deleted, utilizing our records. You are unlikely to find this level of service and hands-on approach in other services.
Finally, with us, you will work with medico-legal experts, making us better equipped to safeguard your practice. Medical Justice’ eMerit program was founded by experts who are able to offer a more comprehensive, robust membership plan—one that is tailored with physicians in mind.
You will find that many “review-building” platforms are simply add-ons to electronic health record systems. Patient document management software is fundamentally different from reputation management software. With eMerit, reputation management and reputation marketing is our entire focus—we start with review building, and offer additional benefits for managing your reputation that go above and beyond what other companies can offer.
Below, we go into further detail about the different experiences you will have with eMerit and a few other top review-building tools for healthcare practices:
Let’s talk about your online reputation.
While other companies may focus more on creating a fancy-looking app than on keeping your practice safe from threats online (or that may eventually affect you online), rest assured the team at Medical Justice has your priorities straight.

And, our reputation software looks and functions great, too!
