Is Your Medical Practice Sustainable?

It’s not price, technology, or years on the job.

The key to sustaining your practice is revolutionizing your ​​​​​​​patient experience.





Craig Bindi, MD - Laser Eye Center of Silicon Valley 


The Success of Your Practice
Rises and Falls With the Patient Experience

Every year doctors are asked to do more for less. As reimbursements drop and prices stagnate, it is difficult to find motivation and drive to sustain an independent practice. But, if you are like many practitioners, the reason you have an independent practice is that you’re not interested in answering to a board or an employer. 

In today's healthcare climate, your entrepreneurial independence is at stake. 

Who Am I, and Why Should You Be Listening to Me?

My name is Shareef Mahdavi. Over the past 30 years, I have dedicated my career to improving the patient experience.
  •   Led marketing launch for the world’s #1 elective surgical procedure:  LASIK
  • Consulted with well over 1,000 physicians across mutliple medical specialties
  • Advisor on product launches to more than 50 medical companies nationwide
  • Widely published author with over a hundred articles and publications 
  • Speaker on customer experience at US and international medical conferences
  • Recipient of the Experience Management Award (EMA), awarded for excellence and leadership in customer experience

My mission is to help doctors understand that their patients are also their customers, and how to make the patient experience a part of their culture. Prioritizing the patient experience often results in higher revenues, happier patients, and a more fulfilled internal team, and a rekindled joy in owning an independent practice.

Don’t Pour More Money Into Marketing.

Focus on Improving Your Patient Experience to Build a Successful Practice.
Many physicians feel the best way to grow their practice is to spend a lot of money on traditional marketing, like print advertising and billboards. In reality, the most effective way to build a successful, sustainable practice is to focus on the people who are already coming into the building. By turning your focus to the patient, you can create loyal customers who will refer their friends and acquaintances to your practice.

Feeling like you’re ready to give up? 

Don't!

The greatest danger in medical practices today is the status quo. Because of declining revenues and price stagnation, inaction will inevitably lead to loss of control of your practice. If you do not change, eventually you will either go out of business or give up your entrepreneurial spirit and be acquired by a medical conglomerate. It doesn’t have to be this way. 

You can change the trajectory of your practice by focusing on patient experience as a driver for sustainability!
