Physicians take note! A small act like removing your glove to shake a patient’s hand can have a profound impact on their self-perception.

You care to make a meaningful connection

I’ve since had to switch to a new doctor due to healthcare restrictions and on our first visit he…extended his elbow to me. The contrast couldn’t be more stark.
