What can you learn from a highly productive podiatrist who prioritizes listening, patient education, and personalized care? In part two of his podiatrist annual self-evaluation series, Dr. Don Pelto reviews his partner's answers and explores how asking better questions, explaining treatment options, and giving patients a clear plan can contribute to patient satisfaction and practice production.

Don also discusses the challenges of running behind schedule, managing difficult patient encounters, improving staff communication, and creating longer appointment blocks for complex cases. Discover how experienced podiatrists can use self-evaluations to identify opportunities for improvement, mentor younger doctors, and transition toward a more sustainable clinical schedule without losing sight of practice profitability.
