Before and after

  • New client intake taking 15 minutes per phone call
  • Vaccine and wellness reminders done manually with postcards
  • No systematic follow-up on post-surgery patients
  • Online booking requests checked once or twice per day

Practical insights from this engagement that apply to most businesses in this niche.
