Dear Doctor:
My practice has recently completed the follow-up coaching session
by Hal and Wendy. I was surprised to hear that many of their physician
clients were not choosing to have this second visit. I am writing
to encourage you reconsider - the second visit is what makes the
investment you made by doing the first really pay off.
During our initial practice evaluation we thought we had learned
the valuable techniques that Wendy taught us. Once they left, however,
things that had appeared so clear to us became somewhat muddled.
As time went on we realized that we were utilizing only a fraction
of the program. We needed help to make the transition complete.
My staff and I decided to have Hal and Wendy return. During this
second session we were able to review what was taught in the first
session and then actually put it into practice while they observed.
It was an invaluable experience. Wendy was able to guide us through
the spots where we were getting stuck. Hal was able to pinpoint
what was holding us back personally from really being committed
and making it work. The recorded consultations that our patients
so graciously allowed us to perform were priceless. I was no were
near as good as I thought I was! But I am now, and my patients
will forever be better off for it.
I believe that we as physicians need to recapture the thrill that
providing medical care can and should provide. Our patients are
the key to rekindling this feeling of self worth and devotion. By
understanding our importance to their lives perhaps we can reclaim
our own. Wendy and Hal's program will help my practice make the
transition away from the "run and gun" style required
to make a living in today's Medicare/managed care environment to
a more personal and civilized style of care. The patients in my
future will demand this style of care and will be willing to pay
extra for it.
Sincerely
Douglas M. Stevens, MD
Fort Myers Center for Facial Plastic and Laser Surgery
