On the other hand, many doctors worry about crossing ethical boundaries, violating professional regulations, or appearing overly promotional.<\/p><p>Questions such as these are increasingly common:<\/p><ul><li>Can doctors use Instagram?<\/li><li>Can doctors have a website?<\/li><li>Can doctors optimize their Google Business Profile?<\/li><li>Can doctors run Google Ads?<\/li><li>Can doctors use WhatsApp marketing?<\/li><li>Can doctors ask patients for reviews?<\/li><li>Can doctors use AI-generated content?<\/li><\/ul><p>The answer is not a simple yes or no.<\/p><p>The National Medical Commission (NMC) expects doctors to maintain the same professional standards online that they maintain offline.
