Hey doc! Pop quiz:


When was the last time you asked your patients how they really feel about your practice?

If your answer is: “Uhh, never?” — congratulations. You’re in the right place (and you’re probably leaking revenue like a sieve ).

Today I’m dishing out the exact patient satisfaction survey questions you need to keep patients raving about you — and how to turn their honest answers into a revenue-generating machine using a slick membership plan powered by BoomCloud™.


Story

Meet Dr. Amy — a scrappy dentist from Boise who thought she was crushing it. New patients every week, clean chairs, a killer hygienist.

But plot twist: her patients were quietly ghosting her. They’d come for a free exam… then disappear into the dental void .

She dug into her schedule. No-shows. Cancellations. Insurance runarounds. Predictable cash flow? Nonexistent.

One night — glass of Pinot in hand — she found BoomCloud™ and a blog post just like this one.
She did two things immediately:

✅ She crafted a short, savage patient satisfaction survey and actually read the feedback.
✅ She launched a simple membership plan so patients could ditch insurance drama and commit to her practice long-term.

Fast forward 12 months:
Her Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) is $21,500.
Her Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) is $258,000 she controls — not the insurance clowns.
And those ghost patients? They’re now paying her every month and spending 2X–4X more than her uninsured walk-ins.

Boom.


You want that too, right?

Good news: you only need two weapons:

1️⃣ Killer patient satisfaction survey questions
2️⃣ A membership plan your patients love

Schedule Your BoomCloud™ Demo and I’ll personally toast you when your MRR doubles .


“But Jordon… I already do a satisfaction survey.”


Ok, hero — when’s the last time you used that data to make cash?

Here’s the epiphany: A survey is a magnifying glass for hidden leaks. A membership plan is the plug for the leaks and the faucet that fills your bucket on autopilot.

Survey → Fix stuff → Launch plan → Watch loyalty (and your bank account) explode.


Why Patient Satisfaction Survey Questions Matter

Let’s get real:

Patients leave because of tiny, fixable annoyances.

Long waits
Confusing bills
Cold front desk vibes
Feeling like just a number

Ask the right questions and you’ll hear EXACTLY what to fix. Then plug them into a membership plan that solves it all.


Top Patient Satisfaction Survey Questions To Steal

Must-Ask Patient Satisfaction Survey Questions:

  • How would you rate your experience today?
    (Use smiley faces )

  • How clear was your treatment cost?

  • How likely are you to recommend us to friends/family?

  • What could we do to make your next visit even better?

Bonus: Offer an incentive — 10% off whitening for filling it out. ✨


Case Study: BoomCloud™ and Feedback Gold

Practice: Suburban practice in Utah
Problem: 30% new patient churn, stressed staff, low hygiene recall

Solution:

  • Ran a 5-question survey. Learned patients hated the surprise bills and clunky insurance conversations.

  • Launched a BoomCloud™ membership plan: $30/month for routine care, 20% off everything else.

  • Promoted it using survey insights: “Hate surprise bills? Join our plan and NEVER get one again.”

Results after 1 year:
✅ 800 members
✅ $24,000 MRR
✅ $288,000 ARR
✅ Average patient spend up 3X

Feedback + membership = loyalty printing press.


How a Membership Plan Solves Survey Complaints

Patients hate:

  • Sneaky fees

  • Denied claims

  • Unpredictable costs

Membership plans deliver:

  • Fixed, predictable pricing

  • Instant discounts

  • No insurance middleman

Result? Happier patients, fatter revenue per patient, and stress-free staff.


Numbers That’ll Make You Drool

82% of patients want predictable pricing over surprise bills
Membership patients spend 2–4X more on elective care
Practices with MRR grow 30–50% faster than their fee-for-service buddies

Pro Tip: Copy Dr. Amy’s Script

Watch your close rate skyrocket.
