Ever wonder what happened to the patient who had a great experience, then vanished without a trace?
You’re not alone. Here’s the simple secret most practices overlook that practically guarantees patients keep coming back.
Let me show you exactly how it works:
Simply put, the key to keeping new patients forever is to reach out within 24 hours of their first appointment.
Here’s exactly how to do it — send a short, friendly message showing genuine care. Something like this:
Hello Mrs. Sandra,
Just checking in, how’s your mouth feeling after yesterday’s scaling? Any sensitivity?
Talk Soon,
Dr. [Your Name]
This tiny effort builds massive trust. It makes the patients feel appreciated and valued, setting you miles apart from big, impersonal corporate chains.
Imagine adding thousands to your bottom line, just because your patients stick around longer. Follow-ups make it happen.
Hi Mrs. Sandra,
Great seeing you yesterday! Just wanted to check in, how are you feeling? Any questions?
Best,
Dr. [Your Name]
Hello Mrs. Sandra, hope all is well!
How's everything going since your last visit? Anything I can help with?
Warm regards,
Dr. [Your Name]
Hi Mrs. Sandra, just checking in—how are you doing? Would you like us to schedule your next routine check-up to ensure everything is well?
No pressure, no selling—just genuine care.
If you've followed up consistently, most patients will happily say “YES”.
And don’t worry about it being tedious. This can be automated affordably — so you save time while your practice grows effortlessly.
