Your level of success is directly proportional to what you do AFTER you do what is expected of you.
To quote Brian Tracy, “There are no traffic jams on the extra mile.”  Go the extra mile for your patients.  Help them to get the impression that you are an expert who cares about them.
If you can make the doctor patient-relationship more human, you are well on your way to a successful practice.

By the way, the teaching when I went to medical school was that 85% of diagnoses are made on history.  I think that’s still generally true although I would not debate the actual percentage.  Doesn’t it make sense to create an atmosphere that fosters clear communication?  And isn’t trust the foundation of that relationship?
