Background
Running a one-person chiropractic practice, Dr.Shore managed every aspect of the business himself. From managing patients to handling scheduling, patient records, marketing, and billing, they were stretched thin.
Despite his dedication to providing excellent care, the weight of administrative tasks was overwhelming. Missed appointments, inconsistent patient flow, and limited visibility online made it difficult to maintain a steady income or grow the practice. He needed a solution that would simplify their operations while allowing them to focus on what they loved most: helping patients heal.
Challenges
This chiropractor faced five major hurdles:
- Time-Consuming Scheduling: Appointment booking required constant back-and-forth communication with patients, leading to frequent errors and inefficiencies.
- Missed Appointments: Without automated reminders, no-shows were common, disrupting the day and reducing revenue.
- Disorganized Patient Records: Patient files were stored in paper folders, slowing down access to key information and making updates cumbersome.
- Limited Online Visibility: Their reliance on word-of-mouth referrals meant potential patients couldn’t easily find or book services online.
- Billing Delays: Following up on unpaid invoices was awkward, and some payments were delayed for weeks.
