Thank every parent and patient. At the end of every patient visit, be sure to thank the patient and their parent for being in your practice. It could be as simple as saying, “Charlotte, we are so happy to have you as a patient and look forward to seeing you again at your next visit.“ You can also follow up with the parent by saying, “Mrs. Jones, we love having Charlotte as a patient and always look forward to seeing both of you.” Showing appreciation is rare and people respond to it with extreme positivity.
