Patient acquisition and retention strategies for busy independent owners

Why patient acquisition and retention matter more than ever

Independent practice owners are busier than ever, and marketing often falls to the bottom of the list. But patient acquisition and retention are two of the most powerful levers for practice growth — and they don’t require a large budget.


Strengthen your online presence

Most patients choose their clinician based on online search and reviews.

Key steps

  • optimize your Google Business Profile

  • ensure consistent NAP listings

  • build specialty‑specific website content

  • use clear calls to action

Inside Out Medicine helps practices create clear, specialty‑aligned messaging that attracts the right patients.


Build a review engine

Patients trust reviews more than ads.

How to generate more reviews

  • automate review requests

  • send requests within 24 hours of visits

Patients choose the easiest option.

Ways to reduce friction
