Why Should You Refer New Patients?

This is directed at our current patients, but many people have similar questions who are not our patients at this time. Our Blog is pretty widely read.

Our patients sometimes ask why an active busy dental practice like ours very much wants our patients to refer new patients to us.

The answer is simple, but very important.

Our practice has a very strong focus and mission on helping our patients learn how to get dentally healthy and stay that way. And the very great majority of our patients do exactly that.

What that means is that once our patient is healthy and we have then restored his or her mouth to the level of function, comfort and appearance desired by that patient, most of our work for that patient consists of seeing him or her at regular intervals for maintenance, motivation and education.

Mostly, our regular patents do not need to have much new dentistry once the initial accomplishment is completed.

So in order for us to stay busy and economically strong, we have to have a steady flow of new patients to help them accomplish the same thing. That's how our patients can be sure we'll be here for them and at the top of our game for them.

Lots of our new patients find us through search engines like Google, because we are very present on the internet through our web site, Facebook, Twitter, and this Blog. And because we are an active Dear Doctor office, with access to the Dear Doctor Digital Library online, which our patients consult a lot.

But referrals from our patients of their friends, neighbors and associates is still our biggest source of new patients, as it should be .

When you care, you share. It is the best compliment a patient can give us to refer some one else to our office for care. We deeply appreciate it and always acknowledge it.

So please recommend our office. Send potential new patients to our web site at DrSteveRoss.com, to this Blog and to our Facebook (we are Steve Ross there) and Twitter spots so they can get acquainted. Or just have them call us. We will do everything to make your referral something you are glad you did.

And by the way, we have the best patients on the planet and we thank every one of you for the privilege of caring for you.
