5-Star Relationships Drive Business

SM2 has been connecting manufacturers, doctors & patients since 2001

We help you

help your customers succeed

Growing and sustaining your business isn’t about the lowest price or the latest technology, it’s about the patient experience.

At SM2 we believe that the success of a medical practice or a company attempting to sell into medical practices begins with a clear focus on the patient experience. Patient experience drives patient satisfaction, referrals, and positive culture in the workplace. 

When patients have remarkable experiences they share it with others – and the practice wins. When the practice wins, the vendors who supply to the practice win as well. For this reason, all of our engagements start with the question, “How do we improve the patient experience?” 

We Wrote the Book on Patient Experience

Because your practice can rise or fall based on your approach to the patient experience, all of our client engagements start with a focus on px improvement. We believe that all practices can see significant improvements in everything from revenue to employee morale by creating an intentional focus in the patient experience.
