A patient found Dave through AI. Not Google. Not Yelp. Not even word of mouth. The patient asked Grok, “Who’s the best physical therapist in NYC?” and the AI answered: Dave Kittle.

We will break down what that means for the future of marketing, how physical therapists can position themselves for “Answer Engine Optimization,” and why the front door to care is shifting fast.

If you’re in healthcare, especially PT, and you want to future proof your business then this episode is your a wake up call.
