Undervaluing Yourself and Undertreating Your Patients--Dr. Chris Chippendale

We often bring our own hang-ups to our communication and decision-making process with our patients. This is common but can undermine your patient’s results and your practice’s stability. 

 

In this episode, I interview Dr. Chris Chippendale on how chiropractors often undervalue their worth as a doctor and how we undertreat our patients. 

 

Interesting brain twist from Dr. Chippendale from this interview.

 

Many of you put being patient-centered in high regard, as you should.

 

However, when you ignore the evidence on treatment frequency and duration planning due to your own hang-ups about giving treatment plans, you are actually being "Doctor-Centered."

 

You are letting your own hang-ups impact what the patient may need. That may impact their outcomes.

 

"Let's see you a few visits and see how it goes" isn't an evidence-based treatment plan and is not patient-centered.

 

We need to start getting out of our own way, and this conversation is a start in that process.
