Ever had a patient ask for a full refund after a rock-solid evaluation? 🤦‍♂️

It happened to me. Even after 20+ years of clinical practice and teaching hundreds of therapists, I realized that "good clinical results" don't always equal a "satisfied patient."

In this episode of Untold Physio Stories, I’m joined by my good friend Donis Gil from Professional Seminars. We dive deep into the awkward, frustrating, and eye-opening moments when patient expectations don’t align with our clinical reality.

We’re breaking down:

• The Refund Story: Why a "perfect" lecture can still result in a disgruntled customer.

• The "Sandwich" Approach: Is starting with a positive always the best way to handle critiques?

• Love Languages in the Clinic: How the 5 Love Languages (Quality Time, Acts of Service, etc.) apply directly to your patient's recovery journey.

• The Power of the Pause: How to handle high-conflict patients (like the "Atlas Rotation" lady) without losing your cool.

• Framing the Win: Why finishing a 60-minute eval in 40 minutes should be a bonus, not a "ripoff."

Stop guessing what your patients want and start mastering the Expectation Management game.
