How it works
Informed, Tracked, Booked: the first steps in San Diego

Tracked

Booked

Fit
Is this a fit for your San Diego practice?
A good fit

- You rely entirely on referrals and do not want direct-to-patient marketing
Where patients leak
Where physical therapy practices in San Diego lose new patients
Direct access is under-used
In many states patients can book physical therapy without a referral, but most do not know it. Clinics that explain this clearly and make booking easy capture patients who would otherwise wait.
Cancellations and gaps
Open evaluation slots and late cancellations leave empty hours. Reminders, waitlists and fast replies to new inquiries help fill them.
