Make their experience with you as positive as possible so that they will want to come back. Sincerity gains trust and trust is the basis of a successful relationship.

Patient care does not end with the clinic visit. A follow up call a couple of days after the clinic visit indicates you care about the welfare of your patients and assures them they are receiving competent care. Integrating this call into your practice sets you apart from others and illustrates your sincerity.

Top level patient care means you can meet and surpass your patient's wishes, which is the best indicator of quality service.

Not only that, but you can be sure they'll spread the good word about you and your practice.

Secondly, word-of-mouth referrals are certainly very desirable because it doesn't cost you anything and most of the convincing work to get them into your clinic has already been done for you. Now all you have to do is confirm that through a great treatment and good people skills and you can be sure they'll come back with even more referrals.

Be as accommodating as you can especially with regards to scheduling and they will appreciate your efforts by either sending you a small token or one or even a few of their friends or family members to see you.

Finally, work on your image. You need to brand yourself as the leader in the field of physical therapy so that you will always be your future patients' first choice.
