The more I discuss with colleagues and experts how to provide the patient with great care and how to avoid the commoditization trap that insurance companies have doctors firmly trapped in, the more the idea of add-on services keeps revealing itself as a great option.    Whether you are in-network with insurance or are a cash practice, some services are not covered by insurance or should be charged at a separate cash rate from your traditional chiropractic care.    Some of those add-on...

You may be falling behind your competition because they are implementing strategies to take a big slice of the...

In Late February, Jay Greenstein and I hosted a Salon Dinner at Parker Vegas for a hand-selected party of 8.  What is a Salon Dinner?  “In the 17th and 18th centuries, salons became popular venues for philosophical, political, and other moderated conversations. Women were the center of salon life. They selected the topic, invited guests and directed the conversation throughout the event. While these events were social, there was always a theme of education and idea sharing. Today, salons are...

We detail where the practice started, where it is now and where it will be going.  More importantly, we break down how they achieve their vision through strategic...

As a profession, we have made it a long way, but we continue to fight to improve our standing in healthcare in each state, the country, and internationally.  Behind the scenes, we often don’t see the work being done to improve the chiropractic profession, and it is important to shed light on that occasionally.  In this interview, Bharon Hoag from The Chiropractic Defense Council joins me to share the progress made and the vision for a better future.  Bharon is a force of nature and brings...

In 2024, many chiropractic practices are getting creative with optimizing their front desk.  If you don’t currently have a front desk, I highly recommend the Virtual Front Desk option to free you up to focus on patient care and growing your practice.  If you have a front desk person or team, consider having a Virtual Front Desk component to allow your front desk team to focus completely on the patients that are in the office. Too many chiropractic front desk team members are overwhelmed with...
