Description

If your clinic feels like organized chaos, this episode is for you.


In this week’s episode, I’m breaking down SOPs — Standard Operating Procedures — what they are, why every practice needs them, and how they can save you time, stress, and confusion as your clinic grows.


You’ll learn what happens when you don’t have them, the different ways to structure them (checklists, flowcharts, and more), and even how ChatGPT can help you draft and organize them — as long as you give it the right information first.


Tune in to learn how to create systems that keep your practice running smoothly, even when you’re not there.
