Increasing Dental Patient Referrals

Internal dental patient referrals are the largest source of new patients for most practices. Our IDA strategy focuses on increasing referrals in two primary ways:

1. IDA’s “Never Lost” Professional Referral System

Regardless of whether you are a general practitioner or a specialist, almost all dentists rely on some level of “Professional Referrals”. However, how often do these referrals get “lost in transit”?

Each of your local IDA practice website(s) has the option of adding the “Never Lost” Professional Referral System which allows you to add this special Professional Referral page.

This page tracks the referring doctor’s information as well as the patient’s information. It automatically notifies you of the referral by both fax and email. Further, we store this information as part of your new patient tracking system & ROI analysis so you can review the number of referrals from each professional source.

The result is that the referral is “Never Lost” in transit from the referring doctor.

2. IDA Patient Newsletters

IDA’s email newsletter program, IDANewsletter.com, gives you an unparalleled tool to promote referrals from within your patient base. The program comes with multiple pre-written referral campaigns that you can edit and send out in minutes…and then sit back and watch the patient referrals flow into your practice.
