Dos and don'ts for practice management: The value of patient satisfaction
What do patients remember after visiting your practice? Mostly how you made them feel. If they walk away with a very positive attitude, patients perceive excellent customer service and they will continue to return. Any practice not creating superior patient satisfaction puts itself at high risk for patient attrition and declining production.

Dos and don'ts for insurance

The role of the practice team in sustaining the practice cannot be overestimated. By effectively preparing and leading the team, the dentist can give the practice the momentum needed to take ups and downs in stride. The practice will be in the best position to attain long-term sustainability, as well as immediate gains in productivity and profitability.
