Patient check-in is one of the first impressions you make, so make it count. A smooth check-in also then sets the stage for a positive consultation experience.
Conversely, long wait times and long-winded appointments can lead to frustration and negatively impact patient experience. Ensure check-in time does not exceed 5 minutes and use appointment time efficiently, as this will improve patient satisfaction and contribute to a more streamlined workflow.
Incorporating tools like immediate smile simulators will further enhance this. Within just a minute, patients can visualize smile transformations instantly, saving valuable consultation time. An engaging appointment will reduce chair time, generate more leads, and achieve quicker case acceptance - making each appointment more efficient, more effective, and more profitable.
