| From: Dr. Margolies.. 8-5-22 www.familychirocenter.net   Postings This Week: Metro Atlanta Practice For Sale   A Well Tuned Practice Is Like a Well Tuned Orchestra   During our season ending concert with the Dekalb Symphony Orchestra www.dekalbsymphony.org I realized that being focused and on purpose creates the seamless harmony we so enjoy on stage and within the audience. A misplaced or out of tune note breaks the bond between composer and artist and distorts the essence of sound. So, we all depend on each other to focus and use every at home practice and rehearsal time to hone in the demands written down for an outstanding outcome. Any musician reading this knows exactly what I mean. There is no excuse, not during concerts where every sound is dependent on you as well as your stand mates to your left and right. A well sounding orchestra is as good as the last stand second violin, the bass player hovering over his instrument and the percussionist waiting forever to create that perfect bing on the triangle. The flavor of sound is as rich as the abilities and concentration of the performers. They depend on me as I on them.   This is also true of your office. Let a patient slide through the cracks, allow staff to lose their level of momentum and concentration, let slip an office orientation workshop due to something better to do and you have the making of a poorly performing practice. You are the conductor with others dependent of your interpretation. Take your patient and community for granted and others fail along with you. It doesn’t take much to screw with the rhythm and get off beat. In the world of concert music just remember when Randy Jackson’s critiqued American Idol performances as being “pitchy” and you get the point, a little off kilter and it can ruin the day. A pitchy office lives in spurts, a good day here a pitiful one there. A pitchy office finds too many patients skipping their appointments with tension brewing between the front deck and doctor.  A pitchy office has missed appointments the norm and drop outs quite common. A pitchy office has financial problems with patients not paying, accounts over due and purchases bought on emotion rather than need. Too much money and energy spent on acquiring new patients rather than the care and feeding of those you have. Focus, concentration and resourcefulness is the key to success   Never take any note or office protocol, patient procedure, staff upset or financial discussion for granted. Keep your practice well tuned   Postings:   Sometimes a fantastic opportunity slips by. If you are looking to relocate or open a metro Atlanta office check mine. Located in Tucker, Georgia close to Stone Mountain about 25 minutes from the Life Campus and turn-key ready. Price is right and after 44 years of active practice it is a self sustaining ready to expand practice for the smart individual that sees the opportunity. Contact Premier Practice Consultants: 770-748-6084 Ext. #2 ask for Dr. Margolies Tucker practice |
