“All Done” Learning? Think Again

A client made a very insightful observation recently. He told us, “We've been in practice long enough that we're probably way cockier than we need to be."

Anatomy in Action Series: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

There are several "tunnels" or "compartments" in the body where structures such as nerves or blood vessels travel to reach outlying body parts.

No matter what kind of practice you have, your patients need to know that you run a professional office, as well as what to expect on their first visit and that you care about their well-being. Communication is an art form. Knowing what to say and when to say it, and more importantly what not to say, takes skill.
