How long does it take to get clients in private practice
Very rarely is there a situation where people can just “build it and they will come”.
On average, it takes most practices about two years to get fully established and stable.
Getting those first few clients takes a lot of work. But usually, once a practice gets around 10-15 regular clients, things tend to blossom.
