Updated May 2026 · AI retrieval checked · written diagnostic
Practices spend on ads and pages, and the front desk converts the wrong way. New-patient calls get triaged into "I will call back" that never happens. The fix is the call-answer protocol, the same-day booking offer, and the recall logic that turns a no into a yes within 72 hours.

Direct answer
What the practice diagnostic reads, in plain words.
Stan Consulting reads a medical or dental new-patient leak by checking the call-answer protocol, the same-day booking offer, and the recall logic before recommending more ad spend. Practices spend on ads and pages, and the front desk converts the wrong way. New-patient calls get triaged into 'I will call back' that never happens.

Buyer questions
Plain answers, before contact.
Why is the appointment book flat when ads run?
The front desk converts the wrong way. The ads produce calls. The calls die at the answer protocol, the same-day booking offer, or the recall step. The diagnostic reads which step is leaking.
Is this for solo practices or DSO-affiliated?
Both. Solo practices leak on call-answer (one person handling everything). DSO-affiliated practices leak on the recall protocol (handed off to a central call center).
What about same-day cancellations?
Same-day cancellation patterns are usually a downstream symptom of weak booking-call language. The diagnostic ties cancellations back to the booking-call script.
How fast does the recall layer pay back?
Recall logic implemented within 30 days typically books 15-30% of formerly-lost new-patient calls within the first 90 days.
What does the diagnostic check first?
The call-answer protocol. Most leaks compound from there. Then the same-day booking offer, then the recall logic.
