Drawing from real stories and recent research, Bob explains why patients disappear. He explores the most common reasons, such as lack of urgency, unanswered questions, and fear of phone calls. More importantly, he shares clear strategies to help you increase your show up rate. These ideas work across eye care, dermatology, dental, and other specialty practices.
