Progressive and Old-Fashioned
“Be progressive in your technology and skills, and be old-fashioned in the people part of your business. Patients want to know how much you care before they care how much you know.

Not only will it increase you and your team’s joy and job satisfaction, but the patients you touch will tell the world.”
—Vance Thompson, MD, FACS
