ChalkboardSimple Ways to Communicate and Educate for Value Added Patient Care

Did you know that you begin educating your patients the moment they read your website? We are all a Google search away. Do you have before and after photos on your website? What types of writing is on your website? Has anyone taken time to proof read it? I recently read a professional website and I imagine that English is not the first language of the person who wrote or edited the website. Have someone who speaks English as their first language edit your website if the website is written in English. Whatever language the website is written in needs to be edited by someone who speaks that language as their first language and is able  to professionally edit the site.

Letter From The Founder of Dental Practice Solutions.

Dear Colleagues,

Welcome to the month of May! Congratulations to Beth Kettell who won our contest last week! Her name was added under Fun Facts section and when she sent her email by the deadline she won the $10.00 Starbucks Gift Card! Thank you Beth for reading the Tuesday Tooth Pick! We enjoy rewarding our subscribers as a “Thank you” for reading, allowing us to share our expertise and be your resource for professional information.

If you know the person listed be sure to email or call them just in case they missed reading this week. This is the benefit of recommending our eNewsletter to your friends. Please click to forward this to a friend. We will continue these contests to reward our readers. Stay tuned for something else we will have similar to this in June.

During May we are offering all of you a $50.00 American Express gift card when you complete our Practice Assessment and the 20 minute phone follow up. When you sign a contract and participate in a year contract we will take 30% off the consultation fee for an annual contract signed before June 1, 2010.

We also have another gift for you this month. We are also offering a look at your website and will follow up with a list of what our team can do to create value to your services through use of your website. Don’t have a website? Let someone from our team talk to you about development of a website to market your dental practice and add value to your patient services. Please email me and mention the promotion in our eNewsletter this month of May in your email subject line to take advantage of one or both of these free offers.

I am excited about so many good things happening. This Thursday we have a web workshop with special guest Mr. Daniel Bobrow. Mr. Bobrow is President of American Dental Marketing, Inc. Have you ever wondered how much it costs for the patient phone calls? What does it cost your office when a new patient calls? If you have ever wondered or if you have never thought about what the cost of phone calls are to your overhead please plan to join the web workshop. Take the 1st step to equip your team to make phone calls a profitable experience. Also imagine the pain and expense it costs potential patients if they are not converted to an appointment. Please mark your calendar, click to register and join us live at 5:30pm. (Pacific Standard Time) If you are not available at 5:30pm this Thursday just send us an email and we can send you a link to listen later.

Please enjoy reading the feature article this week about communication and educating your patients. The featured article is similar to what will be in my new eBook available in a couple of weeks. Please don’t hesitate to contact our office if you have suggestions, comments or need us for a practice resource.

Much success to all of you,
