Chad Madden and Dr. Ben Fung break down the behaviors that keep schedules full and graduation rates near 100%—from “left/right-brain” patient communication to always ending each visit on a win. They unpack UpDoc’s Corporate Quality Index (CQI), including intention-to-stay thresholds that predict retention, and why soft skills and on-stage presence matter. You’ll hear practical cues you can deploy tomorrow, plus a book rec that reframes patient experience through behavioral science.
