Where a Oakville clinic usually starts
The biggest gap we saw in Oakville was online booking among chiropractic clinics: 42% of homepages had none we could find, against 33% across the cities we checked. If your clinic is one of them, start there. Most booking software already includes a public booking page, so it is usually a settings job, not a new website. See online booking.
Everything else we do is on our services page, and how we work explains the audit, the one-time project and monthly care.
Questions owners ask
Are you located in Oakville?
No. We serve clinics in Oakville from our Calgary base, with no office there. The audit, approvals and reports happen by email, video call or phone.
Is online booking common for clinics in Oakville?
It depends on the type of clinic. Of the homepages we checked, physiotherapy clinics were the most likely to offer it (76% had online booking we could find) and chiropractic clinics the least (58%).
Which booking software do Oakville clinics use?
On the homepages we checked, the systems we detected most often were Jane, Dentrix/Henry Schein and Calendly. We count what our scan can see on a homepage, so clinics that link to booking from another page are not counted.
