Interacting With Patients
Patient Interaction: Transactional vs. Experiential Dental Patients
Vice President of Clinical Quality for PDS® and PDS Institute® Chair of Clinical Quality, Dr. Charles Rodgers, authored the article, “Transactional vs. Experiential Dental Patients” that was recently published by Dentistry iQ.
The article takes a closer look at “transactional” and “experiential” terminology and how it applies to a dentist’s patient interaction. Dr. Rodgers shares, “It seems obvious that when a patient visits the office a transaction will occur, but under what circumstances will this inevitable transaction transpire?”
His article further explores reasons dentists should strive to be experiential with their patients in order to provide an exceptional patient experience.
