ADVICE

Recapture Inactive Patients First

  • Measure recapture of inactive patients as part of your new-patient KPI.
  • Recapturing inactive patients is often easier and cheaper than finding brand-new patients.
ADVICE

Make Reappointments During Visit

  • Reappoint patients before they leave the chair and aim for a 90% reappointment rate.
  • If a patient hesitates, offer pinned dates and follow up promptly to confirm.
ADVICE

Use Assumptive, Specific Scheduling

  • Train front and clinical teams to assume patients will book and present two concrete date/time options.
  • Call patients next day if they didn’t confirm and offer specific times based on their past habits.
