Be Fully Present

It's A Game Changer

Have you ever had an appointment before, and you could feel that the other person was preoccupied?

Like they had something else on their mind?

Like, they wished they could just get past their time with you?

It's easy to spot.

It's as easy to spot as someone who is totally there with you. Engaged in everything you say.

Who do you want to be?

With everything competing for our attention—documentation, the next appointment, and the ticking clock—it’s easy to get distracted in the clinic. But presence is one of the most impactful tools we have as clinicians.

When you're fully present, patients feel heard. They open up. They trust you more. And that trust becomes the foundation for better communication, clearer expectations, and stronger outcomes.

Being present doesn’t require extra time—it requires intention.

A few moments of undivided attention can transform the way a patient feels about their care and their recovery.

Presence is remembered. Unfortunately, it’s becoming rare.

And it might just be what sets you apart.

Be present.

All My Best,

Ryan

She was relieved and genuinely thankful to hear from me. Do I think this played a role in her excellent outcome? Absolutely....
