A CAN-TAP NFC card at your checkout counter changes that permanently. Patients tap their phone — your Google review page opens in two seconds. No app, no searching, no remembering to do it later.
When someone moves to a new neighbourhood, has a dental emergency, or is unhappy with their current dentist, the first thing they do is search "dentist near me" and compare Google review counts and ratings.
A dental clinic with 12 reviews and a competitor with 230 reviews does not get the call — regardless of how good the clinical work is. Reviews are the deciding factor for 88% of patients choosing a new healthcare provider.
The problem is not that patients are unhappy. The problem is that the review process has too many steps. Your patient pays, says "I'll leave you a great review," and then never finds the time. That review is lost forever.
CAN-TAP removes every step. The card is at your checkout. The patient taps. The review page opens. Most reviews are submitted before the patient reaches the parking lot.
The CAN-TAP difference
Dental clinics using NFC review cards at checkout report 4–5x more monthly reviews within 90 days. That is the difference between 12 reviews and 60 reviews — which is the difference between getting found and being invisible.
No scripts for staff. No awkward ask. The card does the work.
The acrylic stand sits on your front desk. It is visible while patients are checking out and paying. Most patients notice it without being asked.
"If you'd like to share your experience, just tap your phone there." That's it. No pressure. Most patients who had a good appointment are happy to do it.
Their phone reads the NFC chip. Your Google review page opens in two seconds. They select their stars, type a few words, and submit — before they leave the building.
Here is the situation most dental clinics never capture: a patient who was anxious about their appointment finishes and realises it was painless, fast, and the staff were kind. That person is delighted. They fully intend to leave a review.
Then they drive home, pick up their kids, make dinner, and forget forever. Your competitor down the road — who has a CAN-TAP stand at their checkout — gets 4 reviews from their last hour of appointments while you got zero.
The dental checkout moment is the highest-conversion review opportunity in local business. The patient is relieved, grateful, and has their phone in their hand to pay. A NFC card captures that emotion before it evaporates.
NFC also works for orthodontic practices, oral surgeons, and dental specialists. Any office where patients have a positive outcome and wait briefly at reception on the way out can benefit immediately.
Asking a patient to share their experience on Google is not a disclosure of personal health information. You are not publishing anything — the patient writes and submits their own review on their own device.
PIPEDA governs how you handle patient data. What a patient voluntarily writes about their own experience is outside its scope.
Google's review policy prohibits incentivised reviews (discounts, gifts). CAN-TAP cards offer no incentive — they simply remove friction for willing patients.
Result: asking every patient is entirely appropriate, compliant, and ethical.
Keep it simple. After checkout:
"If you enjoyed your visit, feel free to tap your phone on that card — it takes you straight to Google where you can leave us a review. No app needed."

Yes. Asking a patient to share their experience on Google is not a disclosure of personal health information. You are not publishing anything — the patient writes and submits their own review voluntarily on their own device. PIPEDA governs how you handle patient data, not what a patient chooses to write publicly about their experience.
Yes. NFC is built into every iPhone since iPhone 7 (iOS 14+) and every major Android phone made since 2018. No app download is required — the patient taps and the review page opens in their browser. Cards also include a QR code as backup for older phones. In practice, fewer than 1 in 50 patients will have a phone that cannot tap.
Yes. In the order notes, provide your Google Business Profile name or your direct review link. We program every card before shipping. If your practice gets a new Google review link or you open a second location, you can reprogram any CAN-TAP card yourself in under 60 seconds using a free NFC app.
CAN-TAP cards carry a 7-year guarantee. The NFC chip has no battery and no moving parts — it is powered by the patient's phone at the moment of each tap. Chips are rated for over 100,000 reads, which at 30 taps per day is over nine years of continuous use. The acrylic stand is scratch-resistant and built for a counter environment.
Yes. Each location needs its own card programmed with that location's Google review link. Order one kit per location and specify the Google Business Profile name or link for each location in your order notes. Discounts for multi-location orders are available — contact us at [email protected].
The Cards + Stand Kit is the most popular choice for dental offices. Place it at checkout, mention it once per patient, and watch your Google reviews compound every week.
