In this episode, Doc Danny reveals a key metric that separates slow-growing clinics from thriving ones—continuity visits. If your new hires are struggling to fill their schedules, you’re likely missing a recurring revenue strategy that builds sustainable patient flow. Learn how to get 50-60% of your visits from returning patients and scale your clinic faster.

✔ Clinics with 50-60% continuity visits grow 3-4x faster
✔ Tracking & improving recurring visits reduces reliance on new patients
✔ Every patient you retain helps fill your next hire’s schedule faster
✔ If you’re only seeing patients 3x on average, you’re working too hard to stay afloat
✔ Stop the "eat what you kill" model & create long-term stability
