The Right Staff Can Make the Difference Between Success and Failure

If you're starting a chiropractic practice, you may know just about every you need to about treating a range of maladies. But what do you know about choosing your staff and making sure that they are properly trained?  You may be a topnotch practitioner, but if you have a staff that is disorganized, not knowledgeable or lacking proper training, you're patient satisfaction can be low and your retention rate dismal.

Getting Help

The fact is when starting a chiropractic practice you have two choices. You can do it on your own or you can utilize a chiropractic consultant. Going it on your own may save you some money in the short term, while using a consultant can make you more money in the long run and it may also ensure you see a profit more quickly.

Dr. Peter Fernandez, who created Practice Starters, has developed systems and methods designed to help those who are starting a chiropractic practice in various ways, including financial planning, patient retention and staff hiring and training. Using a chiropractic consultant such as Practice Starters can payoff in many ways.

Staffing Questions

A solid chiropractic consultant will be able to offer helpful tips that will guide you as you work towards building a staff that is reliable, friendly and knowledgeable.

Often those you are starting their chiropractic practice will either hire too many or too few staff members. They may over anticipate office needs in terms of how many patients they will see or what types of services they'll offer.  On the other hand, some practitioners who are just starting a chiropractic practice will underestimate how much time billing, making appointments and generating paperwork will take. They may under staff, finding their workers swamped. The result is everything seems to be behind schedule, including payments from insurance companies.

Understanding the Business
