As I was browsing the threads, one theme that came up to helping a private practice succeed is somehow offering something other clinics don't (e.g. a particular subspecialty, better availability, etc.). There has certainly been some great advice that has helped my practice grow a bit faster (e.g. I make extra effort to get new patients in faster and that seems to draw more people in, and not too many train wrecks). I've also been trying to find ways to give my office a better look and even looking into touching up my wardrobe a bit. As superficial as it sounds, as others suggested, it does seem to help. My husband and I were at the mall yesterday and I saw some really cute dresses and he joked saying "just make sure it stays professional and don't show too much skin." Then I remembered someone on this thread joking by saying to make sure to show lots of leg. I thought: hey, we have some new younger prescribers at the clinic I'm at and they're young cute females. Why don't we make a theme of young cute female prescribers and we all dress a little skimpy? Kind of like the restaurant Hooters but this time it applies to our clinic? It did remind me of a vet who had terrible attendance to his med management visits and therapy appointments until he had a therapist he said was hot, and his attendance has been pristine since. lol. Obviously I am just kidding. But it does make me wonder if the practice is full of cute young females who dress nice if that would do anything for business.
