Fit

Is this a fit for your San Antonio practice?

A good fit

  • You have open evaluation slots and want more direct-access and referred patients
  • You want calls and chats answered when the front desk is busy

Probably not a fit

  • You rely entirely on referrals and do not want direct-to-patient marketing
  • You want promised patient counts or a promised ranking

Where patients leak

Where physical therapy practices in San Antonio lose new patients

  • Direct access is under-used

    In many states patients can book physical therapy without a referral, but most do not know it. Clinics that explain this clearly and make booking easy capture patients who would otherwise wait.

  • Cancellations and gaps

    Open evaluation slots and late cancellations leave empty hours. Reminders, waitlists and fast replies to new inquiries help fill them.
