Doctors and Practice Managers must recognize, that just as you compete for new patients, you must also be prepared to compete for the best personnel to add to your staff. Even Google, Apple, Facebook, and LinkedIn compete with one another for the best staff. All the more so for, the more competitive areas of Plastic Surgery, Cosmetic Dentistry, Dermatology, Medical Spas, Anti Aging, Concierge Medicine, or any other fee for service business.
It is both the job of the Doctor and the Practice Manager to actively find, recruit, hire, train, and retain the best practice staff for improved patient experience and to help grow practice profitability consistently.
