Where patients leak
What goes wrong for physical therapy practices in Stockton, CA
Cancellations and gaps
Open evaluation slots and late cancellations leave empty hours. Reminders, waitlists and fast replies to new inquiries help fill them.
Referral relationships need upkeep
Physicians and surgeons send patients to clinics they know and trust. Without regular outreach and a clean referral process, those relationships fade.
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.
