Guest guest Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 30% follows you to the new practice more or less. José from Hoboken From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of wenmingtseng Sent: Thursday, June 25, 2009 1:39 PM To: Subject: " Followers " I heard that not many patients follow the doctor when he/she opens a new practice. If I will take the same insurance and stay in the same vicinity, why not? What is the group's experience? How many patients transferred to your new practice within the first year?

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Thanks, I like your description of crossing the Sahara by going across town. When I sent patients to the main hospital downtown which is 15 minutes local drive away, it felt like you were sending them to another state. They want someone who is next door!

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Thanks , I have been here 9 years and has a panel of 2500. My score at the Pres Ganey survey has been good. Hopefully they really meant the good words that they put in the survey and are willing to change.
