Prospect To Patient Conversion Rate Vs. Practice Type

In this report, we share our findings on patient conversion rates across medical practice types, sourced from anonymized client data from between 2017 and 2024. We look at two types of patient conversion rates in this report:

  • Visitor to Prospective Patient Conversion Rate, meaning the number of website visitors that reach out to the medical office to book an appointment or learn more about a practice
  • Prospect to Patient Conversion Rate, meaning the number of prospective patients who ultimately go on to become an actual patient of the practice

The below table presents our findings on patient conversion rates across practice types.
