The Dental Marketer Building Trust at Every Touchpoint: The Patient-Obsessed Practice Blueprint | Santosh Patel | 563
What if every step of your patient’s journey—not just your care—felt extraordinary?
In this episode, Michael sits down with Santosh Patel for a deep dive into building a practice where being obsessed with patient experience is the rule, not the exception. From the very first online interaction to the moment patients step out the door, you’ll discover how reputation and practice growth thrive when you exceed expectations at every touchpoint.
Together, Michael and Santosh uncover the real-world challenges that often separate intention from impact, such as misaligned messaging, outdated office systems, and the disconnect between online presence and in-person encounters. You’ll hear practical strategies for transforming first impressions, converting inquiries into appointments, leveraging technology, and instilling a team-wide obsession with patient experience. Drawing on examples from world-class brands and healthcare innovators, this conversation provides a blueprint for building—or reinventing—a truly patient-centered practice from the ground up.
