Healthcare & wellness directory software for WordPress and Joomla

Healthcare and wellness directory software for WordPress and Joomla

A dental practice directory, a primary-care provider finder, a community of acupuncturists and naturopaths, a directory of mental-health practitioners, a regional veterinary listing — they share the same setup: each listing represents a real practice, and visitors arrive looking for specific things: who treats their condition, who accepts their insurance, where they are located, what other patients said about the visit. A static page or a generic listing plugin cannot carry that — the structure, the patient-feedback layer, and the claim workflow are not there.

You're building a finder for dentists, vets, chiropractors, therapists, or alternative-medicine practitioners — a site patients land on when they need to pick someone and want to compare on more than a single star. JReviews does not include appointment booking, electronic health records, prescription tooling, or any handling of HIPAA-regulated patient data, and nothing on this page implies it does. What it does provide is the directory itself: listings carry multi-criteria patient feedback where you define the criteria, custom fields for specialty, credential, insurance accepted, and languages spoken at the practice, and a claim workflow so practitioners take ownership of their entry and keep it accurate.

Built for healthcare directories

What each JReviews feature actually does for a healthcare directories site.

  • Multi-criteria patient feedback

    A primary-care office can be rated separately on bedside manner, wait time, cleanliness, staff, and value; a dental practice on clinical care, comfort, scheduling, and price transparency. Operators define the criteria per category, so patients rate on what matters for the visit instead of one generic star.

  • Claim workflow

    Practitioners claim their listing from your public site, then keep it accurate — services, office hours, accepted insurance, staff photo, treatment-room gallery — through their account pages. Claims run under the moderation rules you set, and approved owners reply publicly to reviews.

  • Practice and credential custom fields per category

    Each listing type has its own field group, with category-level visibility on top: a dental practice asks for specialty, license number, board certifications, and accepted insurance; a veterinary practice asks for species treated and after-hours coverage; a counseling practitioner asks for license type, modality, and fee structure. Practice categories that belong to different listing types do not share the same submission form.

  • Inquiry forms that hide the contact email

    Visitors send questions through an inquiry form on the listing page. The message routes to the practice's inbox without exposing the email publicly. Inquiries are logged inside the admin area — useful for general contact-intake review, not for appointment booking.

  • MapsPro proximity search for clinic finders

    Patients search 'dentists within 5 miles of my zip' or 'wellness studios within 20 km of downtown', and the directory ranks results by proximity, with map view, batch geocoding, and providers including OpenStreetMap, Mapbox, Google Maps, Nominatim, and ArcGIS. Paid add-on on Standard; bundled on Professional.

  • Rich-result markup so Google can show ratings in search

    JReviews adds the structured data Google reads to show ratings, location, and hours in search results when it decides to. Each category gets the most fitting tag — MedicalBusiness subtypes (including Dentist, MedicalClinic, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy) for medical practices and HealthAndBeautyBusiness subtypes (including DaySpa, BeautySalon, HealthClub) for wellness directories — and falls back to the generic LocalBusiness tag otherwise.

  • Search filters by specialty, insurance, and languages

    Patients filter listings by specialty, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken at the practice, location, accessibility features, and any custom field the operator defines. Multi-select facets, keyword search, and instant results refresh on the same form — a Spanish-speaking pediatrician within ten miles surfaces in a few clicks.

  • Top-list ranking that values track record

    A newly-claimed dental practice with four five-star reviews does not jump over a long-running clinic averaging 4.6 across two hundred patient reviews. The ranking takes review count into account alongside the score, so the top-ranked listings reflect sustained patient feedback, not a single great run.

Who this is for

  • Provider and clinic directories

    Primary-care provider directories, specialty clinic finders, dental practice directories, and multi-location practice networks where patients filter by specialty, location, accepted insurance, and patient feedback.

  • Wellness and alternative-medicine directories

    Listings of acupuncturists, naturopaths, holistic-health practitioners, chiropractors, and massage therapists — where credential transparency and practitioner self-management matter more than booking integration.

  • Mental-health practitioner listings

    Therapy and counseling practitioner directories, peer-support group listings, and behavioral-health directories. Listings carry credentialing fields, fee structure, languages spoken at the practice, and sliding-scale availability.

  • Day-spa, fitness, and wellness-studio directories

    Day spas, beauty salons, health clubs, fitness studios, and yoga and pilates studios — directories where HealthAndBeautyBusiness Schema.org markup fits and patrons compare on amenities, hours, and class schedules.

  • Veterinary practice directories

    Regional veterinary listings, specialty-vet networks for small-animal, exotic, and equine practice, and pet-emergency-care directories where pet owners filter by specialty, location, and after-hours availability.

Frequently asked questions

Does JReviews handle HIPAA-protected health information or electronic health records?

No. JReviews is a public directory with reviews — practice profiles, multi-criteria patient feedback, claim workflow, inquiry forms, custom credential fields. It does not store, transmit, or process electronic health records, prescriptions, patient charts, or any data category covered by HIPAA, GDPR Article 9, or equivalent health-privacy regulation. Operators should not treat JReviews as a clinical system, and nothing on this page implies otherwise.

Does JReviews include appointment booking or scheduling?

No. JReviews does not include an appointment-booking system, appointment reminders, calendar sync, or any clinical scheduling tooling. A practice that wants to link to its own booking platform can drop the booking URL into a listing custom field, but JReviews itself does not handle the appointment. Treat it strictly as the directory and reviews layer of a healthcare or wellness site.

Can listings carry specialty, license, and insurance custom fields, with different fields per practice category?

Yes. JReviews supports multiple listing types under one directory, each with its own field group, review criteria, and category tree. A dental practice asks for one set of fields; a wellness studio asks for another; a veterinary practice asks for a third. Available field types compose into specialty, license number, board certifications, insurance accepted, languages spoken at the practice, and any other field the operator defines.

How do practitioners claim their listing, and can I verify before publishing?

Practitioners and practices submit a claim from the public site. Claims run under whatever moderation rules you set — open, moderated, or admin-only — so a new claim or credential update can wait in moderation until an admin reviews the supporting documents. Verification is operator-side: require a license-number match, an uploaded credential certificate, or a manual admin review.

Can I moderate patient reviews before they go live?

Yes. Review submissions can be set to require admin approval before publishing, per listing type or per category. Owners can also reply publicly to reviews on their own listing. JReviews does not filter or evaluate the clinical content of a review — the moderation queue is general user-content moderation, not a clinical correctness check.

Does JReviews translate listings into multiple languages?

No. JReviews does not run a multi-language listing layer, translation engine, or per-language search index. If a directory needs to record what languages the practitioner serves patients in, that is a 'languages spoken at the practice' custom field — a data point about the practice, not a multilingual JReviews capability.

Do listings produce rich-result markup for a healthcare or wellness directory?

Yes. JReviews adds the rich-result markup Google reads to potentially show ratings, location, and hours alongside a listing in search — using MedicalBusiness subtypes (including Dentist, MedicalClinic, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy) for medical practices, and HealthAndBeautyBusiness subtypes (including DaySpa, BeautySalon, HealthClub) for wellness directories. Google decides whether to render the rich result on a given search.

Common healthcare directories use cases

Dental practice directory

A regional or national dental directory with per-listing fields for specialty (general, cosmetic, orthodontic, pediatric, oral surgery), accepted insurance, board certifications, and after-hours availability. Patients rate on bedside manner, cleanliness, wait time, and treatment-price transparency through multi-criteria reviews.

Multi-specialty clinic finder

A clinic-finder directory covering primary care, urgent care, specialty practices, and multi-location practice networks. Patients use proximity search via MapsPro to find providers within a radius, then filter by specialty, accepted insurance, and languages spoken at the practice.

Wellness and alternative-medicine directory

A community of acupuncturists, naturopaths, holistic-health practitioners, chiropractors, and massage therapists. Practitioners claim and self-manage, list their modalities and credential fields, and patrons compare on multi-criteria feedback rather than a single star score.

Mental-health practitioner listing

A counseling and therapy practitioner directory with custom fields for license type, therapy modality, fee structure, sliding-scale availability, and languages spoken at the practice. Inquiry forms route patient questions to the practitioner without exposing the email address.

Veterinary practice directory

A regional veterinary directory covering small-animal, exotic, equine, and emergency-care practices. Per-category fields for species treated, after-hours coverage, and walk-in availability. Pet owners read multi-criteria reviews on examination quality, staff, facility, and value.

How healthcare directories make money on JReviews

  • Practitioner subscriptions via PaidListings

    Charge listings as annual practitioner subscriptions through PaidListings, with tiered plans — gold, silver, bronze — each mapping to a pricing plan with its own field allowances and featured-placement entitlements. Bundled on Professional; paid extra on Standard.

  • Featured placement on specialty and location pages

    Sell promoted placement at the top of a specialty page, a city or region listing, or a search-results page through PaidListings' featured-listing upgrades — separated from the organic layout, sold inside a tier or as a one-off.

  • Accreditation-tier badges via paid custom fields

    PaidListings supports paid custom fields, so an operator can sell a verified-credential badge or an accreditation-tier marker as a per-listing upsell, priced separately from the underlying plan.

  • Sponsor highlights as paid upgrades

    Wellness brands, professional associations, and insurance networks pay for highlighted placement through PaidListings — a per-listing paid feature, not a clinical or systems integration. Partner relationships and disclosures sit with the operator.

  • Educational and reference resources via ListingResources

    The ListingResources add-on attaches articles, public-health reference pages, and continuing-education materials to listings without separate listing records. The operator decides what content sits in scope. Paid add-on on Standard; bundled on Professional.

What kind of healthcare directories site you can build

  • Provider and clinic directories

    Primary-care offices, specialty clinics, urgent-care locations, and multi-location practice networks — organized by specialty and location, with patient feedback on the criteria that matter per visit type.

  • Dental and specialty-practice directories

    Dental practice directories, optometry listings, dermatology and aesthetic-medicine listings, and other specialty-practice networks where credential currency and patient feedback both matter.

  • Wellness, fitness, and day-spa directories

    Day spas, beauty salons, fitness studios, yoga and pilates studios, health clubs, and wellness centers — listings carry class schedules, amenities, and HealthAndBeautyBusiness Schema.org markup where it fits.

  • Mental-health and counseling directories

    Therapy and counseling practitioner listings, peer-support group directories, and behavioral-health directories organized by modality, license type, and patient-facing fee structure.

Plans and pricing

Standard fits public provider listings and self-service wellness directories where intake is free or admin-only. Professional makes more sense when paid practitioner tiers, follow alerts on directory updates, and clinic-finder proximity search are part of the model — it bundles PaidListings, EngageUsers, and MapsPro.
