Category: Meeting Notes

Dr.RC:
Good morning! Will make meeting short for time to relax.

Start of the busy season with only a month to go. Appointments are already full to the end of the year. We are in the over flow mode with doctors working extra hours, some starting earlier. Patients want to be seen before end of the year for insurance purposes.

When you get tired and cranky realize everyone gets tired and cranky.

Christmas party at the Standard Club Dec. 8th at 7pm. Shuttle leaving office at 5:45. If you changed your mind about riding the shuttle let Amy know today. If driving when you get to the gate tell them you are there for an event.

Noticed bathrooms and office areas are getting messier. We need to spruce up the office so if you notice anything needing repair let Amy know.

Kathy has received a promotion and will now be our front office supervisor.

Dr.RC:
Good morning!

Dave and Holly (401k, John Hancock) coming at 8:45 to update us during meeting.

Welcome to new hires Taylor (technician) and Gionna (front office).

One thing to mention – when people go to the doctor they want to feel better. I enjoy seeing people smile and laugh. We want you to enjoy your time here. If you are happy it spills over to the patients. It makes them feel good if we are all smiling and laughing.

We are in the busy season for the next 2 months. We saw over 4000 patients last month. If we can get the patient to come in November, better than in December.

If patient’s yearly appointment is due in December, offer them one in January.

As we go through this next month, keep the atmosphere pleasant and upbeat.

Amy and Megan H are always available for issues and questions.

Medicare numbers will be changing next year.

There will be a lunch and learn for techs after the academy given by those techs who attended.

Bleph contest in November. Bring patients to see Megan M. She can give them info before they see the doctor.
