MRC Performance
I have been in business for over 10 Years and recently moved to AGR Technology for all our IT needs. They are able to fix nearly anything remotely and always very helpful in recommending appropriate hardware upgrades that do the job as required but not costing more than needed.
Alessio provided an excellent service. He was very dedicated in his method of finding solutions to problems. He continued to try different avenues until he found the reason as to why a particular application was not working. He was very knowledgeable in his understanding of the internet and of applications and how they work, and he was able to apply this knowledge in understanding how to resolve the obstacles that continued to appear. He is understanding towards his client's needs and goals and he is willing to work with his client in achieving those goals. He is a very polite and well mannered person and very calm and gentle in his approach. I would highly recommend Alessio's services to anyone.

Alessio from AGR Technology has recently helped me create a website for my business.
Throughout the whole process from start to finish Alessio made the process easy for me, by calling me and explaining each step of the way. I'm not very computer savvy, but with Alessio taking the time to explain in detail everything I needed to know from putting inventory in to having it shipped. He even remotely joined my computer to help guide me through everything.
He's very knowledgeable and is experienced in everything I needed and if there was anything else I needed to know that wasn't something he was familiar with, he researched it.
I would HIGHLY recommend Alessio to anyone. He has not only helped me for now but I know that if I ever needed help with anything else he would definitely go above and beyond to help. Thank you so much for everything you have done. It's been a long process but well worth it 🙂

Understanding Reputation Management for Medical Practices
Reputation management for medical practices shapes how current and potential patients perceive your clinic online. At AGR Technology, we combine expert industry insights, proven digital strategies and leading-edge software to present your practice in the best possible light—so you can focus on patient care, not online fallout.
Why Online Reputation Matters in Healthcare
Online reputation matters in healthcare because patient trust and new appointments often hinge on how your services appear digitally. Research shows that nearly 80% of Australians turn to online reviews when choosing a healthcare provider. Every rating and piece of feedback has the power to impact real-world patient decisions, with just a single negative review capable of deterring around 22% of potential patients. If you’re visible for the right reasons in Google search, Healthgrades, and other review platforms like Facebook and Yelp, you’re more likely to attract new patients and referrals.
Through AGR Technology’s reputation management services, medical practices benefit from:
- Boosted Positive Visibility: Highlight patient success stories and showcase genuine feedback across trusted healthcare review websites and social media.
- Enhanced Patient Trust: Reinforce confidence in your practice by curating accurate, authentic content and responding promptly to both praise and concerns.
- Reduced Patient Churn: Address and resolve issues efficiently before they escalate, retaining loyal patients and fostering positive word-of-mouth.
- Competitive Edge: Stand out in a crowded market where prospective patients have multiple choices and compare providers based on online sentiment.
The Impact of Patient Reviews and Feedback
Patient reviews and feedback directly affect a medical practice’s growth and reputation. Consistently positive reviews attract new patients, increase rankings in local search, and boost referrals from both the public and fellow healthcare professionals. In contrast, even a handful of unresolved negative reviews—or a lack of professional response—can significantly harm your brand’s image.
At AGR Technology, we focus on:
- Active Review Monitoring: Track reviews across Google, Yelp, and specialty directories to ensure immediate response to all feedback.
- Professional Engagement: Respond promptly, empathetically, and compliantly to both positive and negative reviews, demonstrating accountability and care.
- Reputation Repair: Assess current online sentiment, identify reputation risks, and implement personalised remediation strategies to restore patient trust.
- Growth Analytics: Use clear reporting and actionable insights to continually improve your online strategy and reputation management outcomes.
