In this week's Thriving Dentist Show podcast, Gary shares about the biggest scheduling mistake that dentists make. Scheduling appointments is one of the most vital parts of growing dental practice, as that's how you can get new patients as well as get your regular patients to turn up for their routine check-ups. The biggest scheduling mistake that dentists make is that they don't have a scheduling template to accommodate new patients within three working days. Gary will provide our listeners with four strategies to avoid making scheduling mistakes. In today's world, no one will be willing to wait weeks to get what they want, and if your office is unable to schedule an appointment for a patient within three working days, you're just burning bills on marketing. So the problem here is that they don't have a proper scheduling practice in place for patients to be able to make an appointment within three working days, but the doctor might wrongly think that his marketing is not working and spend more time and money on marketing.
