Thank you Dr. Pardeshi for your time and efforts. Your answers are very ellightening. Your point that stagnation is the beginning of decline is pertinent.
Day in and day out I am being asked by dentists all over India regarding stagnating professional receipts. Here are my stary thoughts on the issue.
Do not curse yourself too hard if your professional receipts are stagnating. While stagnating professional receipts is a serious cause of concern, note that the increase in the number of dentists in a particular locality means that the professional receipts are going to stagnate.
So if your professional receipt are stagnating in spite of increase in number of dentists it means that you have defended yourself from competition.
That does not however mean that you just sit in your clinic twiddling your thumb waiting for the professional receipts to increase.
There has to be robust growth year after year, if not quarter after quarter.
Every situation, every dentist and every locality is different. It requires perseverance, application of mind and the help of a practice mentor to sort out the problem of stagnating professional receipts.
Finally professional receipts must grow year after year at a rate commensurate with inflation. If they are not, dental surgeons must take professional help.
Reagrds,
Dr. Veerendra Darakh
