Why should a doctor refer to your practice? It is a valid question and one that you should be able to answer easily. Wouldn’t it be nice to walk into a doctor’s office and have the doctor say to you, “yes, I know who you are and I have heard the great things that you do, what’s the best way to refer to you?” It’s not science fiction, it can be done. The secret lies in gaining trust with the physician and their staff as the experts to refer their patients to.
