“We at ProHealth Physicians were startled by the arrival of Kare Anderson to speak on patient satisfaction to our oh-so-jaded practice managers and even more cynical clinicians.
She is not your typical customer service speaker!
Kare quickly had us enthralled as she spoke passionately of how we can make more of a lasting impact with our patients by how we position ourselves, what we wear, and how we speak. We have enjoyed many excellent lectures on patient satisfaction in the past and Kare’s talk repeated none of what we had heard before, and had us planning on how we would enter the office the next day before she was even finished speaking.
She was determined that we learn methods to teach our patients that would leave them with lasting knowledge and even the slowest of us in the group soon realized that she was demonstrating her techniques on the audience through a lively interaction. The allotted time was all too quickly exhausted and we cannot wait for the opportunity to enjoy a refresher.
Her passion for her subject matter was even more evident by how she chose to spend her free time between talks: touring several of our practice sites with an eye toward design for satisfaction –concepts with which we have had little experience but it would behoove us to acquire more. I’m having my office re-carpeted in hunter green before she comes back to the East Coast…”
