Case study: A 3 Doctor practice in the Midwest
Dr. B launched a start-up practice in the suburbs of a Midwest city.
His vision was to provide a low-stress environment for his team members and a high level of customer service for his clients.
After looking into different competing options, he decided that Chronos was the right partner to help him bring his vision to life.
A bit over a year later, here are some stats to reflect on.
- He now has 2 part-time and 1 full-time receptionists who were hired and trained by Chronos.
- They handle an average of 1,400 phone calls per month. Calls come in for many reasons of course, and around 900 appointments are booked each month. A monthly average of 100 patients are new to the practice.
- Given the typical recommendation of 20-30 new patients/full-time Doctor/month, 100 patients per month is a very healthy number of new patients for a 3 Doctor practice!
- Almost 2,000 text messages are sent to clients by Chronos team members each month.
- Phone calls handled by Chronos generated an impressive $150,000 in revenue per month. About 1/3 of that is due to new clients.
Annualized, this means that the Chronos team members generate around $1,800,000!!!
That is quite a nice return on investment.
Then there are the intangibles: by delegating phone calls, emails, and text messages to Chronos, Dr. B doesn’t have to worry about advertising for, interviewing, hiring, onboarding, training, and firing employees.
He can reinvest his time & effort in much more rewarding areas, such as wowing his clients, treating patients, and being a true business owner.
The same applies to his in-house team: instead of spending hours on the phone, they can focus their attention on patient care and customer service. Tasks delegated to the Chronos team include call-backs, postop calls, prescription refills, answering countless questions, etc.
“I attribute a large part of our success to our Chronos Team”, says Dr. B.
“They are the voice of our practice, and making clients feel welcome is critically important to me.”
Dr. B concludes: “The best proof and a huge compliment is that we’ve had clients bring gifts to thank a receptionist, and we’ve had to explain they were remote team members!”
That is a huge testament to the quality of the Chronos team.
But wait, there’s more!
Dr. B is working on opening his second practice.
He explains: “This is obviously a big project. But it seems much less daunting, because I don’t have to worry about staffing the front desk at all. I already know I will work with Chronos to find the right team members, who will deliver the same high level of customer service.”
