ENCORE: Creating a Dermatology Practice Patients Remember — with Dr. Douglass Forsha

What makes a dermatology practice truly distinctive?

Sometimes, it's not a dramatic innovation or an expensive investment. It's the accumulation of thoughtful details that tell patients, we cared enough to think about your experience.

In this encore presentation of one of our popular conversations, Scott McKain talks with Dr. Douglass Forsha about the distinctive practice he created in the Salt Lake City area—and the thinking behind an environment that has earned considerable attention from patients and visitors alike.

Dr. Forsha shares how seemingly simple decisions about design, artwork, lighting, finishes, fresh flowers, and other details helped create an office that feels different from the moment patients arrive. Perhaps most importantly, his experience demonstrates that creating a remarkable environment doesn't necessarily require an extravagant budget. It requires intention.

The conversation offers a valuable reminder for every dermatology practice: patients experience far more than the clinical care you provide. They notice the surroundings. They notice the details. They notice how the practice makes them feel.

Clinical excellence may be the foundation, but the total experience can help determine what patients remember, what they tell others, and whether they enthusiastically recommend your practice.

It's a conversation worth hearing again—and an invitation to look at your own practice through the eyes of the patient.
