Problems With Patient Retention?

Are you having trouble with patient retention? We find many chiropractic professionals are focused solely on attracting new patients and inadvertently neglect their existing patients.

There’s nothing wrong with being a bargain hunter, whether you’re looking for a new car, shopping at the mall, or even redesigning your chiropractic practice’s website.

Getting bills paid, building a great team, providing your patients with the best treatment possible...and we could go on. Your never-ending to-do list can be a constant source of anxiety.
