You can spend thousands on marketing, but if the experience inside your practice is not dialed in, it will not matter.
Patients might come because of your marketing, but they stay because of how you make them feel. Most practices never step back and ask what it is actually like to be a patient in their office.
A few places this usually breaks down:
• The phone experience does not build trust
• The office feels outdated or impersonal
• Patients are not walked through treatment clearly
• The visit feels transactional instead of intentional
• There is little to no follow-up after the appointment
