Having a warm and caring team is the cornerstone of any thriving practice. However, we often get caught up in the minutiae and often overlook the importance of building a relationship with our patients. Today’s guest, Deana Zost, shows you how you and your team can transform your practice from a run of the mill practice to one that patients genuinely love. Gary and Deana discuss a gamut of topics including;

  • The New Patient Call
  • Things to consider when performing a tour of the office
  • Verbal skills to build rapport and truly connect with them
  • Why should you “slow down to speed up”?
  • Making new and existing patients feel special and cared for
  • The importance of mirroring and matching a patients temperament
