Dr. C: Good Morning! Welcome new technicians Selena and Kimberly.
There will be a 401K talk later in meeting.
It’s a crabby time of year. We are doing a good job trying to keep up with a good attitude.
Make every effort to get patients in who want an appointment. We are a service organization built on “Advanced eye care with a home-town touch.” On business side we lose patients if not happy and they go elsewhere.
Scheduling – note that doctors have maximum number of patients per hour, schedule accordingly.
New equipment – Optos maps entire retina, if pathology insurance pays. IOL Master for cataract surgery determines best lens, curvature, etc.
Christmas Party 7:00 at Little Gardens tonight.
