As a medical professional looking to grow your practice, one of your primary goals is to acquire new patients and maintain a steady flow of new business. However, the other side of patient acquisition is patient retention. Once you have a new patient, what can you do to ensure their loyalty to your practice?

As a provider, it’s your job to cater to the needs of your patients and supply them with a reason to continue using your services. That means focusing on the patient experience at your office and going above, and beyond the service, they originally came for.
