Does your specialty see high loyalty?<\/h2>\n

The top ranking specialties with the most loyal patients are providers that offer specialized care. Patients are often more likely to need recurring visits and the good news is they want to remain loyal to providers with whom they\u2019ve had initial visits. Urgent care might seem like an exception, however, increasingly people turn to their established urgent care facility as part of their overall care team for visit reasons including STI testing, annual visits, sore throats, and prescriptions\/refills.\"\"<\/span>While these are the top 10 specialties with the most loyal patients, the good news is that all of the patients who are looking for new providers on Zocdoc want to find providers they can keep seeing long-term. Having patients who return again and again greatly increases revenue, which is why it\u2019s important to understand what factors contribute to loyalty.
