Do you roll the red carpet out for new patients?

In this episode, Gary and Naren explore the critical importance of making new patients feel valued and welcomed from their very first interaction with your practice. With rising competition and the ongoing need to reduce dependence on PPO plans, it’s more important than ever to “roll out the red carpet” for new patients. A key factor in this process is ensuring immediate availability for new patient appointments, ideally within a week of their initial call. If your practice fails to offer a timely appointment, there’s a high likelihood that the potential patient will seek care elsewhere.
