Mon, 25 Oct 2021 07:15:53 GMT

Search engine optimization has continued to evolve over the years. Search engines are frequently updated to be more intuitive to people’s needs, and your SEO strategy needs to evolve along with that.

What Word of Mouth Looks Like for Today’s Practices (#89)

In this episode, Michael and Scott discuss key considerations including bio pages, web content, online reviews, and differentiation – what sets you apart compared to other doctors?

Dr. Craig Greene, an orthopedic surgeon in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is a champion of building that relationship from the moment a patient steps into his clinic.

2 – Business and Humanity in Medicine

In a career of accolades for innovation and technology, one of Dr. Ira Kirschenbaum’s greatest achievements has to do with people. After 17 years growing two orthopedic practices, he uprooted from the comforts of White Plains, New York and relocated to the South Bronx to provide care in the poorest congressional district in the nation. Now 11 years later, Dr. Kirschenbaum has grown the team to 14 surgeons and 70 employees, seeing more than 430,000 patients a year. His lessons about recruiting, innovation, and balancing the business of healthcare with the humanity of their mission are priceless.
