[Dentist here] Patients Not Turning Up, Want to Know What I Can Do Better

I recently opened my clinic in a lower-income neighborhood of a Tier 1 city. Barring one very amicable gentleman and my own family members, no one has turned up for treatments or follow-up (after consultation), not even for basic cleanings.

These factors I don't think work against me:

  1. my fees are considerably lower than the 4-year-old clinic nearby

  2. I'm confident I've diagnosed their conditions correctly and prescribed the correct meds so far

  3. I'm not an asshole

I'm assuming some of you have visited a dentist before and some among you must have decided never to go back.

What were the turn offs/red flags?

I'd appreciate some insight.
