Most dentists don’t realize they’re renting patients from Zocdoc instead of building long-term patient loyalty.

In this episode, Gary Bird breaks down the hidden risks of Zocdoc, why 50% of patients may no-show, and how one startup still reached 120+ new patients in month three using the platform strategically. You’ll learn how to reduce no-shows, increase referrals, and build a stronger dental marketing system that doesn’t rely on one platform for growth.

These are the same patient acquisition and practice management strategies that SMC uses to help practices achieve predictable new-patient growth.
