Summary
This episode of The Distinctive Dermatologist is about something that quietly affects patient trust, loyalty, and outcomes far more than most dermatology practices realize. It's something I call the assumption gap — and it may be one of the most expensive blind spots in healthcare. The assumption gap is the space between what we think patients understand… and what they actually understand. When we assume understanding, confusion quietly replaces confidence. That's why this matters so much. A special thank you to GentleCure from SkinCure Oncology for sponsoring The Distinctive Dermatologist. Their commitment to helping practices deliver the Ultimate Customer Experience® reflects the core truth of today's episode: care isn't complete until it's clearly understood.
