Superior Recovery Techniques with Difficult and Demanding Patients
Friday, April 12
3:45 - 5:15 PM
1.5 CDE Credits – DDS, DH, DA, AUX
ABOUT THE COURSE
Most patients, around 96%, won’t tell you when they’re unhappy – they’ll tell everyone else via Yelp, Facebook, etc. If only 4% of unhappy patients do bring a matter to your attention, treat it like a precious gift. Superior service recovery sends them out the door feeling as if they’ve just done business with the greatest dental practice on earth. This session will help attendees learn how best to handle difficult situations (face-to-face, via phone or virtual), which can be an intimidating or challenging – especially if they are charged with emotion.
This session will enable participants to:
- Resolve complaints faster, transforming conflict into cooperation.
- Understand why members may become difficult and demanding.
- Discover how to handle member demands without getting drawn into an argument.
- Learn the 5-Step Recovery Process to become a problem solver.
- Identify critical keys to maintaining excellent rapport with patients.
- Recognize situational service strategies to handle patients’ needs more efficiently.
