Key lessons
What we learned working with dental practices
Practical insights from this engagement that apply to most businesses in this niche.
Lesson 1
Website chat captured new patients who would never call — the fastest conversion path for dental.
Lesson 2
Multi-touch reminders at the right intervals reduced no-shows more than any single reminder could.
Lesson 3
Freeing front desk from routine calls dramatically improved the in-office patient experience.
