Periodontist, Dr. Jin Kim, Hosts Study Club "The New Normal Approach to Patient Acceptance"
A barrier may exist between patients with recognized needs and their dentists who may be overanxious in presenting treatment plans in a perceived self-serving way.
Garden Grove, CA (PRWEB) May 05, 2021
Dr. Jin Kim, dual-board certified periodontist and Director of the West Coast Study Club (WCSC), hosted the recent Livestream WCSC event titled, “The New Normal Approach to Patient Acceptance” featuring guest speaker Dr. Christian Coachman. The event helped dental professionals understand navigating patient care amidst the anxieties that come with receiving treatment during a pandemic. Dr. Kim offers compassionate care at his own practice, with locations in Garden Grove and Diamond Bar, CA, helping patients understand which treatments must take precedence while offering quick and minimally invasive solutions, such as LANAP® laser gum disease therapy.
An affiliate of the Seattle Study Club, WCSC covers a variety of education topics for dental professionals, from increasing compassion with patients to enhancing skills in rare treatments. This particular event covered balancing the anxiety patients experience when receiving treatment during the pandemic, while still impressing the importance of the care they need.
“A barrier may exist between patients with recognized needs and their dentists who may be overanxious in presenting treatment plans in a perceived self-serving way,” explained keynote speaker, Dr. Coachman.
Dr. Coachman covered an array of effective communication techniques to use when explaining the importance of receiving treatment, including utilizing digital presentation tools. He helped participants of the study club identify ways to break through barriers in communication and effectively connect with patients, so they will be less on the defense and more likely to accept treatment recommendations.
Dr. Kim himself has created a safe and comfortable practice to ease his patients back into receiving care in these unprecedented times. He offers quick and efficient treatment options so that patients can receive necessary care without a lengthy appointment. He also offers minimally invasive treatments, such as LANAP laser gum disease therapy, in order to lessen both time and pain during the appointment and reduce postoperative healing time, so patients can get back to full health as quickly as possible.
Both of Dr. Kim’s practice locations are set up for social distancing. They have eliminated the waiting room and limited the number of patients in the office at a time. They also follow strict sanitization protocols and stay current with recommendations from the CDC, ADA, and OSHA.
If anyone is nervous about receiving care, they are encouraged to connect with the practice over the phone to address any questions and concerns they may have. It is Dr. Kim’s objective to make sure patients receive necessary oral health care in the safest and most anxiety-free way possible.
