How do I get more patients for our clinic?

My boss is a great doctor. All the gossip i hear from our current patients to each other is always positive things about her. The only problem is that we don't get all that many patients coming. We've already tried advertising in the yellow pages, signing up with networks, and buisness cards but what else can we try that will generate a greater response?

Answer:
Is she published? She could write a few articles and then call the newspapers to have them published. Like "5 things you always ask you doctor," or something like that. Also, is she asking for referrals? I have to grow my own clientele as well, and this is the BEST way to grow. Tell your patients, "Don't keep me a secret," as they're leaving or ask them to let their friends and family know that you're accepting new patients.
Have free check-ups or something. Do a fundraiser and stuff.

worth a look and they have a free account.

Hi, perhaps you can try Google adwords to market your service/product.

Google adwords is a text-based system for advertising on its site and its partner sites. The service allows you to create your own ads, choose keywords to help match your ads to your audience, and control the cost of your advertising—you pay only when people click on your ad (a cost per click plan). Anyone wishing to promote a product on Google can enroll in this program.

you can get a 5 detail pages information about Google adwords at :

Good Luck && Best Wishes!
