Who Should Read This Book

Patient Experience is Impacting Practices

John R. DiJulius III

Bestselling author The Relationship Economy: Building Stronger Customer Connections in the Digital Age

“Beyond Bedside Manner should be every medical practice’s bible.”

Stephen Wilmarth, MD

Sacramento, CA

“Beyond Bedside Manner  is a pleasure to read with insights of great value to physicians. Interested in better patient care while enhancing revenue? This is the book for you.”

Mary P Lupo, MD

New Orleans, LA

“Beyond Bedside Manner will be much valued by both physicians and patients and the timing of these words is opportune for a world searching for direction and answers.”

Feeling Like Your Ready to Give Up?

Don't!

The greatest danger in medical practices today is the status quo. Because of declining revenues and price stagnation, inaction will inevitably lead to loss of control of your practice. If you do not change, eventually you will either go out of business or give up your entrepreneurial spirit and be acquired by a medical conglomerate. It doesn’t have to be this way. 

You can change the trajectory of your practice by focusing on patient experience as a driver for sustainability!
