New patient welcome emails
Keep your new patients past the first few weeks
New patients are most likely to drop off early, before the care has had a chance to work and before they fully trust the plan. A welcome sequence holds them through that window. Over their first couple of weeks, every new patient gets a series of warm, branded emails that lay out what to expect, how to reach you, and what your care is about, so they feel looked after and keep coming back. A real person writes every one of them. You don't lift a finger.
What is a new patient welcome sequence?
A planned series of emails that welcomes every new patient over their first couple of weeks. Instead of a single "thanks for coming in" note, it sets expectations, builds trust, and explains what to expect from your care, so a new patient feels like they made the right call choosing you.
Why do new patients drop off so early?
Because the early stretch is the most fragile part of care. A new patient hasn't felt the full benefit yet, hasn't built the habit of coming in, and is still quietly wondering if it's worth it. Miss that window with silence and they drift before the plan ever gets going. A welcome sequence fills that window with a reason to come back and trust the process.
What's in the welcome sequence?
Seven emails over about two weeks, all written by a real person and branded to your practice. A warm welcome that makes them glad they came in. What to expect from their care and how often they'll hear from you. How to reach you, what a visit looks like, and where to follow you. Even what to do if something flares up and they need you. The human details that make a new patient feel like they picked the right office.

Do I have to set any of this up?
Almost nothing. There's nothing to write, no campaign to build, nothing to manage. When a new patient comes in, your front desk adds them to a simple page in a few seconds, and their welcome starts right then. We write every email, brand it to you, and handle the timing and the sending. That's the whole job on your end.
Does a welcome sequence actually keep patients?
Yes, when it's done right and sounds like a real practice instead of an autoresponder.

is the highest monthly open rate across the practices we run. One client got 117 clicks to call from just two newsletters.
It's built by people who've worked with more than 1,000 chiropractic practices, real client churn over two-plus years runs one to two practices, and we've never had to give back the 30-day guarantee. The early weeks are when a patient decides if they're staying, and that's exactly where this works.

Questions docs ask about welcome emails.
When do new patients start getting the welcome emails?
The moment your front desk adds them to your new patient page. It's a few seconds of data entry, and their welcome starts from there, so no new patient slips through without a proper welcome.
How many emails are in the welcome sequence?
Seven, spaced over about two weeks. Enough to properly welcome a new patient and set expectations, paced so it feels warm and helpful, not pushy.
Will the emails be branded to my practice?
Yes. Your logo, your colors, your name, your voice. To a new patient, it reads like it came straight from your office.
Do I have to build or manage anything?
No. A real person on our team builds, writes, and runs your welcome sequence. The only thing on your end is adding a new patient to a simple page when they come in, and we handle everything after that.
How is this different from a single thank-you email?
A one-off note gets forgotten. A planned sequence shows up across the exact window when new patients are deciding whether to stay, which is what actually keeps them in care.
