PRACTICE MANAGEMENT TIP OF THE DAY
10 Small Ways to Provide Great Customer Service to Patients
 
Providing great customer service to patients will make them feel like you are all on the same team, they will be more apt to send referrals, and they will be more willing to make sure you are paid for the time and effort you have spent on their care. Here are 10 ways to provide excellent service to your patients outside of the exam room:
 
8. Be open with mistakes.
 
Forgot to call a patient back? Overbooked the clinic? Running a little late? Be honest, apologize sincerely, and offer options to repair the issue.

RESPONSES/COMMENTS (CLINICAL)
From: Chuck Langman, DPM
 
I am also in the Philadelphia area and refer to David Dwyer, MD at Jefferson University Hospital. I believe he does pinpoint radiation for it. I’m not sure if that is appropriate for an 11-year-old but it is certainly worth the call.

RESPONSES/COMMENTS (NON-CLINICAL) - PART 1A
From: Aaron Solomon, DPM
 
I am in 100% agreement with Dr. Hinkes. However, to tell students the 'Why', pre-medical students need to know who and what we are. Of course, we are an important profession and as our population ages, the need for our services increases. Sharing this with would-be physicians is extremely important, but it comes with educating these young students as to who we are. I believe, based on my own individual experiences, that there are few high school and pre-medical students who know who we are. 
 
If pre-medical students do not know we exist, we cannot tell them why they should join the profession. I certainly do not want to diminish why an individual would want to be part of our profession, based on their desire to help people. It is incumbent upon us to show these pre-medical students all the good we do as it would address the ‘why,’ ‘what’ and ‘who.’ My hope would be to generate enthusiasm by showing high school and pre-medical students who we are and what we do. It is important to share interesting cases from the operating room and the office. It is important to let people know that it can be a fruitful endeavor for them to become podiatrists. I am certainly not trying to make this a discussion about money, but when people do decide what it is they want to do for a living, financial stability is part of the decision.

RESPONSES/COMMENTS (NON-CLINICAL) - PART 1B
From: Kathleen Neuhoff, DPM 
 
I was so saddened to read Dr. Clark‘s letter. I wonder if some of his opinions about his inadequate pay resulted from lack of knowledge about the cost of running a practice. Quite a few years ago, I had an associate doctor. I paid her 40% of the gross that she generated and allowed her to set her own hours and determine how many patients she would see. She chose to work less than 30 hours a week and still generated an income above average for a full-time practitioner at that time. My own income was approximately 32% of my gross because I saw more than twice as many patients and was carrying her. However, I liked her. She was a good doctor and my patient liked  her so it was perfectly content with that.
 
After about five years, she came to me and told me that she thought she should be receiving 90% of the gross that she generated because it hardly took me any extra cost to keep her on. I sent her to my accountant for a day and had them go over all the cost of the practice and the profit and...

RESPONSES/COMMENTS (NON-CLINICAL) - PART 2
From: George Jacobson, DPM
 
I have a prediction or just food for thought. Podiatry will survive as a surgical orthopedic profession. There will be a new profession, chiropody. This new profession will have more applicants than podiatry schools, further reducing their application pool. It will be sad to watch. Abandoning our roots that made us a successful profession will give rise to our replacement when needs are no longer met.
