- It doesn’t cost to be nice. You want your patients to feel a “Cheers atmosphere” where everyone knows your name.
- When taking a new patient phone call, you want them to invest in:
- seeing an out of network provider
- getting their significant other to come to the appointment
- paying up front

- Embrace your community.
- Treatment plan your life. Remember to ask yourself: Am I happy living my life the way I’m doing it?
