Listen "EP 72: Life Is Too Short To Deal With Terrible Patients"

Episode Synopsis

Why do we put up with them? I recently talked with a friend who routinely purges 'bad' patients from his practice. We both thought that more offices should do this. I wanted to share my thoughts on rogue patient management with you. Hope it helps.  Schedules full of awesome patients sound pretty good to me!    Quotes   "Imagine if you actually liked all your patients."  "Think about it, how many patients do you have that bring out this high anxiety."  "They have a philosophy where they only see patients they really really like."  "Most of the time when someone has been a wack-a-doo on the phone, they have been a wack-a-doo in real life."  "I understand they need a dental home, but it doesn't have to be your dental home." "I've learned over the years to trust my gut."  "I'm not saying dump all your patients, I am saying dump the ones you don't like."  "If you are letting reviews hold you hostage then you are always going to be practicing defensively."  ---------- Also!
