Patient Education is a way of life for us in our office. I believe that one of our most important missions is to empower our patients with the information and understanding they need to keep themselves dentally healthy for their lifetime. We want our patients to be the smartest patients on the planet.
This Blog is only one way we do that. We reach out in many ways, both in the office and through the internet.
Our patients can get their questions answered anytime they ask. We will answer their e-mails and send them information sheets on almost anything they need. We actually talk with our patients here in the office. We like them.
We are exploring the use of videos to send or post to communicate with our patients. We just got a new toy that is just plain fantastic for this. It's called a Flip Camera, and it makes things so easy. We are really excited about this!
Today I want to talk with you about something special I really like that helps us with this mission.
There is a wonderful magazine called Dear Doctor. I have been associated with it and featured in it since the beginning. It is the very best source of patient education for regular folks I know of. It is beautiful, well written and interesting.
I want to be clear right now that I receive no payment or financial gain from Dear Doctor for saying nice things about them and I do not work for the magazine. With that understood, here's what I want to share with you.
One of the best things about being associated with Dear Doctor magazine is the Digital Library. By accessing the library, each and every article featured in the magazine can be seen, printed and shared. This is a marvelous resource. And it costs you nothing.
Here's how to get there: Go to www.deardoctor.com/ross and click on the library section on the right side.
Check it out and please let me know what you think of it and how it has helped you.
You can leave any comments at the bottom of this Blog. Just click on the word "comments". We'll respond to you.
Thanks for reading. We appreciate your time and your interest.
