Where a Saskatoon clinic usually starts
The biggest gap we saw in Saskatoon was the website platform among physiotherapy clinics: 34% ran on a do-it-yourself builder, against 13% across the cities we checked. A DIY builder is not a problem on its own; what matters is whether a patient can find your services and book on a phone. See clinic websites.
Everything else we do is on our services page, and how we work explains the audit, the fixed fix and monthly care.
Questions owners ask
Are you located in Saskatoon?
No. Clinic Chime is based in Vaughan, Ontario, and we work with clinics in Saskatoon remotely. We do not have an office in Saskatoon. The audit, approvals and reports happen by email, video call or phone.
Is online booking common for clinics in Saskatoon?
It depends on the type of clinic. Of the homepages we checked, chiropractic clinics were the most likely to offer it (90% had online booking we could find) and optometry clinics the least (52%).
Which booking software do Saskatoon clinics use?
On the homepages we checked, the systems we detected most often were Jane, Square and Cliniko. We count what our scan can see on a homepage, so clinics that link to booking from another page are not counted.
Who regulates advertising for clinics in Saskatchewan?
Each profession has its own regulator. The ones we found for Saskatchewan are listed above, with links to their own websites. Their advertising and testimonial rules are the ones that apply to you.
