Where patients leak
What goes wrong for physical therapy practices in Philadelphia, PA

Physicians and surgeons send patients to clinics they know and trust. Without regular outreach and a clean referral process, those relationships fade.
Cancellations and gaps
Open evaluation slots and late cancellations leave empty hours. Reminders, waitlists and fast replies to new inquiries help fill them.
