When new pediatric patients enter your practice, have parents fill out a pediatric history form. When performing spinal screenings, and making initial contact with parents, have them fill out a pediatric spinal screening form rather than an adult form for their children. These are important steps, as it will demonstrate to patients that you are an expert in pediatrics and that your focus is specifically on the concerns of children. Incorporating these simple steps will make your office unique, and place you in the forefront of today's health care. Unfortunately, this technique is frustrating and ultimately results in failure.
Parents respond to the wants and desires of their children.
If you can keep the kids in your practice happy, healthy and excited about chiropractic, their parents will follow.
