Marketing for Doctors Podcast

Most practices are not losing revenue because they lack technology. They are losing it in the gap between diagnosis and patient decision.In this episode of the Marketing for Doctors Podcast, Justin Cholula from Hoot sits down with Dr. Todd Cohan, a leading dry eye specialist and medical director of Hoot Dry Eye Center, to break down the exact system his team uses every day to drive treatment acceptance without sounding salesy or overwhelming patients.This is a practical, step by step conversation focused on what actually works inside a real practice.You will learn: How to build a team-driven dry eye protocol that starts before the doctor enters the room  What to say and what to avoid saying to increase patient understanding and trust  Why separating the ocular surface exam is critical to driving acceptance  How to use imaging and simple analogies to create patient buy-in  The right way to introduce treatment without pushing technology  How to handle the insurance objection and confidently position value  Why most practices fail with new equipment and how to fix it with implementation Dr. Cohan also shares a powerful mindset shift: dry eye is not a side service. It should be treated like glaucoma screening, a standard of care that protects long-term patient outcomes while unlocking consistent revenue.If you already have the patients, the diagnosis, and the equipment but are struggling with conversion, this episode will show you exactly where the breakdown is and how to fix it.This is not theory.

Most doctors assume patients will make a major healthcare decision after a quick consult. Reality is different. Very different. In this episode, Bob Miglani breaks down the biggest reason patients hesitate to enroll in elective and out-of-pocket treatments.

It has everything to do with the journey you are (or aren’t) giving them.Bob shares personal stories from eye care, dentistry and specialty medicine that reveal a simple truth. Patients will not spend two thousand, five thousand or ten thousand dollars after a rushed fifteen minute conversation about a condition they just heard about seconds earlier.

Bob shows you exactly how to lengthen the patient education journey so your conversion rates rise, your reputation strengthens and your patients feel informed, respected and ready to move forward.Tune in to transform the way you guide patients toward life-changing care.
