Work, work, work. Sometimes it seems to never end. Due to the pandemic regulations, many practices have had to extend hours to see the same number of patients as before. Even when you’re finished treating patients for the day, you may find yourself taking odds and ends of work home with you to finish after
Many practitioners are worried about getting too big too fast. Some don’t want to get big at all because of the concern of losing control of the practice. And others are anxious about keeping their work/life balance from going completely out of whack. Hmmm … but are these valid considerations? Can one actually expand rapidly
Perhaps you have experienced having a fantastic production month in January and you think, “Yes! Off to a great new year!” And then in February, the practice dives into a huge slump. And you don’t know why. Bonuses vanish and everyone gets bummed. March is looking about as bad but you have a feeling
Basically, you know what YOU are doing … but do you know what your competitors are doing? Many practitioners come to work in the morning, do their work, and go home at the end of the day, completely oblivious to the changing world around them and then wonder (once in a blue moon) why their

Walking into a healthcare practice for the first time as a new patient or client, you form an instant opinion about the practice if you are an aware and observant person.

You have probably heard many stories from your patients or clients about practices they have been to where they felt a lack of service and care from the team. Sometimes, they are mentioning that the staff seemed very uncaring or even rude. Sometimes it is the doctor who is the target … “too rushed,” “didn’t
What is “curiosity,” and why is it so dangerous that it killed the cat? And then there was Curious George who was always getting into trouble by being curious (though he always got back out of it too)? Is curiosity, then, a bad thing? Curiosity is “the desire to learn or know about anything;
As a healthcare provider, you are working your little bippy off trying to deliver the best possible technical care to your patients, right?
