Places API allows to show only 5 reviews from that, those results are cached for 48 hours to not generate additional costs for API.
Complete the following steps to display Google reviews:
To find the PlaceID for the practice, go to the Google Place ID Finder. Type in your practice name and address information into the search bar, then click search. Your practice location will now be on the map, with a popup window displaying the practice's Google Place ID.
Select the Place ID on the map and copy the identification string.
Go to the place edit page and add it to the Place ID for Google Review section
On Google Developers page, click on “Go to Console“.
