Over the years, we’ve been fortunate to have many patients who were kind enough to refer their family and friends to our practice. If you’re a regular reader of this newsletter, you may have noticed that we include a monthly total of new referrers on Page 3. There’s a good reason for that — it’s because we consider your referrals to be our greatest compliment.
We’ve spent years developing relationships with doctors in many different fields. Over 1,000 doctors have referred patients to us since we’ve been in business, including optometrists, ophthalmologists, dermatologists, endocrinologists, and even internal medicine specialists. It feels good to be recognized by other doctors and I feel honored that they trust me to help their patients.
Having said that, a patient who feels happy enough to entrust us with their loved ones’ health is special. I care deeply about my patients and consider it a privilege to help care for them and take care of their surgical needs. A patient referral means I helped a patient and they were pleased enough with the care that they received to recommend me to someone they know or value. Nothing could make me happier.
I think of it as being a chef. It’s one thing when a guest compliments your food — but it’s something else entirely when they bring a crowd back with them. Actions speak louder than words.
As a token of appreciation, we will be contacting all patients who have referred someone this year to offer them a complimentary microdermabrasion service. We’re also extending the offer for all patient referrals for the remainder of 2023. It’s one small way we can say thank you.
Patient referrals are the lifeblood of every practice and I continually appreciate the confidence you display in us by referring others. Thank you for the opportunity to help others as we have helped you.
