Strengthen Dental Hygiene Schedules with Solutions
Strengthen dental hygiene schedules with exceptional customer service! Create the experience your patients seek! Give them something to talk about. And to look forward to. Perhaps your practice does it all just fine. Communication is fabulous! Collections are seamless and perfect. Continuing care settings are accurate. Short notice reschedules are few and managed well.
Hygiene templates are in line with your practice needs. Yet, the team struggles to keep schedules full. And patients say they “hate going to the dentist”. What?! Why? Let’s find out why. Because once you know the why, the solution presents itself. So, we have a new question. How? How do we find our why? The answer is simple. Ask! Ask and you shall receive.
A simple survey of your favorite patients is the where to ask. Identify the best source of honest and helpful information. Then, provide a printed and an email survey. For patients who choose not to provide their email address, mail a copy of the survey. And be honest. Let patients know you wish to improve your patients’ experience even more in your dental practice.
Automate the email survey. Technology takes much of the work out of this task. And positive patient reviews are powerful new patient magnets! Plus, the team can reach out to a patient who has less than wonderful things to say about anything in their recent dental appointment!
What to Ask
Specific questions provide more specific answers. It’s best to keep the survey short and to the point. Most likely, there is a customer service issue. Especially when all else within our system is on track. Something we do not see blocks the road. And the goal here is to identify the roadblock.
Consider a check list or number system. Where a patient can circle a number of check a box. Number the rate of a specific service or experience from 1 – 5 or circle a word. Service is exceptional, good, needs improvement, poor, n/a. Something like this.
