They discuss why every patient interaction matters, how one great experience can lead to years of loyalty and referrals, and why practices need to intentionally map out each touchpoint in the patient journey. Mark and Ashlee also cover the importance of phone etiquette, consistent patient handoffs, post-op calls, patient recognition, and grassroots relationship-building in the community.
