Video Consultations

Coronavirus has forced us to pivot and adapt when it comes to certain measures we’re taking as business owners. One of the most useful by-products of lockdown has become the ability to consult with patients over video. In this show, Brad shares some of his best thoughts and ideas about how you can maintain and improve your video consultation practices.   KEY TAKEAWAYS It’s useful to try to ascertain as much information as you can before your consultation via a form. This can help to speed up the actual appointment, and allow you to get to the heart of the problem. Video calling can be a more relaxing way to interact for your clients, as they feel the security and comfort of their own environment. It’s almost as if you, the practitioner, are the guest in their home. Video consultations and other technological ways of engaging should never be the only avenue we embrace. They should be used as a way of getting people into your practice.   BEST MOMENTS ’It’s getting easier to build rapport and chat and be relaxed, because people are far more used to video calls’ ’The jump from video consult to clinical consult is a small one’ ‘Add it to the arsenal of what your marketing does'   VALUABLE RESOURCES The Dental Business Podcast ABOUT THE HOST Brad believes that everyone at any level should be focused on achieving multiple sources of income to create diversity and balance in life. He feels passionate about helping dentists work towards freedom by building wealth in different areas and helping to develop a mindset to improve one’s ability to handle the stresses of clinical life.    Still a practising dentist, Brad has implemented strategies to create a practice to allow him to carry out the dentistry he wants whilst continually expanding with loyal staff and patients. These strategies can be adapted to any dentist, whether you are an associate or the practice owner, to help bring back your passion for dentistry.   In addition to running a successful private dental practice, he has grown several other dental businesses and as an investor is growing wealth outside of dentistry to help protect his legacy for his growing family.   He is chair of the Horsforth Town Team, dedicated to the promotion and development of business in his local area in North Leeds, UK.   Due to his track record and down to earth advice, he has become sought after as a mentor and spends part of his time dedicated to mentoring dental professionals about business, mindset and personal development.   CONTACT METHOD Brad Thornton Instagram Brad Thornton LinkedIn Brad Thornton Facebook [email protected]
