Small things matter!

In this world of fast paced, instant satisfaction mindest, and infrequent face to face communication (e-mail anyone?), now more than ever it’s the small personal things you do for a patient that makes all the difference. Trust me, they will remember. And when it comes time for them to recommend your services to a loved one…it’s the personal touch that did it! So, how small is small? Well to be honest, there really is no such thing as small…because they all reap BIG benefits later. Here are ten small ways to make a lasting impression…Try them, you will be amazed at what you see. If you already do them…bravo! You are ahead of the game. :1. Address patient’s by their last name and request permission to use their first name. For example, ‘Hi Mr. Smith welcome to our office. May I call you John or do you prefer Mr. Smith?’2. Call them after your first treatment to check up on them.3. Send a HANDWRITTEN welcome note after their first visit. No e-mail!!4. Offer them Spring Water while they wait to see you. Mini-bottles.5. Compliment them on their progress.6. Thank them for choosing you as their doctor. Show appreciation.7. Send a thank you note for every referral.8. Ask questions about their favorite hobby.9. Walk your patient out to reception and say how great is was to see them.10. Give them a small little token give at milestones of care. It’s the small little behaviors that make all the difference. Your secret weapon to the big goal is taking small steps. Now go forth and do small!! Dr. Perry Nickelstonwww.painlasercenter.com973-800-6570

  1. HI there; I have had a major back surgery in 95. had pain free recovery. last fall, I had injured my back again; Now I have a buldging disc above the plates as well as below the fussion. I need to know if it is possible to spin my disc at L-1 level. For several months, I had problems with,rectal area & blader control. After the myilogram injection, I have had some pain releaf. I feel that the injection.pushed the dics that was pushing on the nerve. I was born wiht a small spianal nerve canail. I Am now going threw courtzazone shots. After my first shot I went home and worked on my self home care ideas. I felt alot better now.I need to know with taking those shots and finding a chiro master can the two spin the disc so I can avoid another surgery? I feel it is very possible. Question ? Is there something in those courtzazone shots that lubicated the disc ? because I think it does. Right after the shot the doctor sent me into another room to ice my back. I shut that door to that room and started to stratch my back out touching my toes with out bending my knees,twisting,ect. Why God told me to do so. I felt and herd alot of wired noises in my back. I feel the disc was moving because the injection of that shot lubed the disc allowing the disc to move. I need advice of a doctor. I need help here. I am determined to beat this problem. Can tractoin, with the shot,and a chrio master make my disc move so I can get back to work again and stay pain free.I feel this is all possible. Dr, Parry Nickelston can you help me in all of this? You can feel free to call me. Home phone 607-748-1295. Cell phone; 607-624-4456. Best to reach me at my cell.
