https://blog.upbook.com/how-to-gain-more-patients Doctors unfortunately see higher risks of burnout than most other careers. In fact, according to a Mayo Clinic study, 44 percent of doctors reported feeling at least one symptom of burnout. It can be detrimental, leaving you feeling helpless, and it can even put your practice at risk. Knowing the signs of burnout and how to avoid it as a practice owner can help you stay motivated and on track. A good way to lose patients is by not touching base with them often enough. Your patients are like you, they lead a busy life full of work, family, and social events. It’s natural that they might neglect checkups or even forget about appointments. If you don’t keep your returning patients from checking back in, that can leave the door open for them to go to another practice because they feel no loyalty to yours. Stay in touch through text reminders about appointments, emails, newsletters, even special offers if you sell products in your office.
