In this brief practice‑management monologue, Kelly Alhooie explains a strategy for improving patient adherence and treatment outcomes by booking a full series of 12–13 sessions during the very first visit. She emphasizes that patients are not required to pre‑pay for a package; instead, the appointments are placed on the calendar immediately, guaranteeing the desired time slots and encouraging patients to follow a consistent plan of care. While patients retain the ability to reschedule or cancel, the initial schedule creates a sense of commitment, ensures they have a spot when they need it, and reinforces the principle that consistency is key to achieving results.

We book them out for 12 sessions on the very first visit. So they come in, they— we get them over the phone, they come in the first visit, I explain the method, it's 12 to 13 sessions, and they don't have to buy into a package then, but I am booking them all the way through their sessions immediately on the first day so that they are committed to their plan of care. Now yes, they could call us and cancel and move things around, sure, but at least it's on the schedule guaranteeing that they're going to get their spot that they want, the time that they want, and that they're going to get the results because they're consistent. Consistency is key. We know that. So just remember that.
