<p>When I started my private practice in 1989, I followed some innovative, yet traditional ways to stay in touch with my patients.</p>
<p><em></p>
<ol>
<li>
<div>We sent out post card reminders that patients are due for their periodic examination and cleaning. We found that if the patient filled out their own address, in their own handwritting that the response to the reminder postcard went up dramatically &#8212; perhaps because when they received the card they recognized their own handwritting and accepted that as a sign they had committed to the recall (recare) appointment.
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>We also sent out cards to remind patients of their appointments, if it had been several weeks or months since their last appointment and either they had scheduled a follow-up or they had uncompleted items in  their treatment plans.
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>We send out birthday cards, to share in the patient&#8217;s celebration of that milestone.
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>Newsletters were mailed when we had news of the Office<br />
&#8211; new equipment,</p>
<p>&#8211; new continuing education courses that updated us on the latest techniques,</p>
<p>&#8211; new staff members, or<br />
&#8211; other news about our office, staff or patients.
</p></div>
</li>
<li>
<div>With the advent of the internet, we do all of these and much, much more with eMail as well as with text-messaging to our patient cell phones. 
</div>
</li>
</ol>
