"What a Patient Wants"

A successful practice is built on positive relationships—with patients, community leaders, local business people and other professionals. Among the most important are the relationships you develop with your patients. But once you get a patient in the door, how can you establish a lasting a doctor-patient relationship?

Bill Esteb’s book, “What a Patient Wants,” is an excellent resource for D.C.s who wish to enhance their patient relationships and communications. And now, through a special arrangement negotiated by NCMIC for our policyholders, you can read this book online.
