Los Angeles Patients Don’t Wait Till Morning — They Call Your Competitor
Introduction: The After-Hours Gap in LA
Los Angeles is home to more than 25,000 outpatient clinics, urgent care centers, and dental practices. Patients here expect fast, professional responses — even after hours.
Yet, 62% of patient calls nationwide go unanswered, and in LA, patients simply call the next provider. A missed call doesn’t just lose a visit; it can mean losing a long-term patient worth thousands.

LA County has one of the highest concentrations of healthcare providers in the U.S. But surveys show front desk coverage is often limited to business hours. This gap frustrates patients, especially those in pain or urgent need.

- 62% of patient calls missed nationwide.
- Average missed dental patient lifetime value: $5,000–$15,000.
