Turn Quarter 1 Into a Strong Start

December is always your busiest month—patients rushing to use their benefits before year-end. Then January arrives, and the familiar pattern returns: schedules thin out, new patient volume drops, and everyone waits for things to pick back up.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

The deductible reset creates a unique opportunity. Thousands of patients with fresh insurance benefits begin searching for orthopaedic care, yet most practices aren’t positioned to capture them.

While many orthopaedic surgeons accept the quarter 1 slowdown as inevitable, the practices that plan ahead experience something different: a full, steady, and predictable start to the new year.

Imagine your first quarter looking like this:

• New patients finding you first for joint replacement, sports medicine, or spine care
• A schedule filled with motivated patients who have been delaying procedures
• Marketing systems running quietly in the background while you focus on patient care
• A strong start to 2027 instead of playing catch-up in February

At Venel, we market exclusively for orthopaedic practices and work with more orthopaedic surgeons than any other full-service agency in the world. We’ve helped thousands of surgeons turn the quarter 1 reset into a competitive advantage.
