Clinic is only for MC or referral to GH.
For what go clinic if not for MC? To get cheapo unknown drugs and get charged sohai? And some because use company card they charge even higher. Go gov can get higher quality ones for free. Anyway I trust chatgpt more than clinic doctors. |

QUOTE(Alternate Gabriel @ May 21 2024, 11:04 AM) Some patients feel shy to ask for MC mine here seems to be ok, they usually will ask if want MC or not when it's on weekday. There are some doctors that proactive and ask patient whether want to take mc or not  nowaday GP mostly are quite young and friendly. i haven't met any GP that have black face on private clinic yet.

Many GP will not just stay stagnant but will try to upskill into some specialty - there on they can provide niche service Alternate Gabriel liked this post

I usually give those chain clinic a miss as you will not get a regular doctor/ houseman. Go to those that have only one doctor as your treatment record s very important. Of course prices have to be reasonable. Alternate Gabriel liked this post

i don't think they need to stay competitive
every clinic has their own loyal customer as long as they're not out there cheating customer, their business will last very long |

Hmmm, I believe it comes down to few factors.
1. Price - This I believe is most important for those who is not under coverage. 2. Services - This can be checked via reviews too. 3. Distance - Self explanatory. 4. Professionalism - Whether the doctor really do his/her job to diagnose and find out the root cause of the problem. Some doctors either have profession burn out or just plain ego that dismiss patient's concern for some small disease when there is a more severe root cause. 5. Panel - This again, is self explanatory. |

either nearest or if the doctor ady build rapport with the patient.
like me, i will continue to go to the same doctor because she's cute (lol) but have my med records ready. anyhow most survive mainly due to the medicine price markup . that is why dispensing seperation is near impossible in MY. |

first is location
second, engage as many panel company, insurance company & third-party administrator. if youre running alone, need to do marketing a bit third is good services of course fourth, may consider service specialisation. need to align with local trend as well. for example, young neighborhood with many young families, ideal to specialise on family health, paeds.. etc |

Some docs get a fair bit of extra income by being a Visiting Medical Officer (VMO) to various plantations. If they have a practice in town, usually it's covered by a hired/partner doc while they are hopping from estate to estate.

QUOTE(Alternate Gabriel @ May 21 2024, 10:48 AM) To doctors out there that open your own clinic, how do you stay competitive and relevant with other clinics out there? At the end of the day, how successful a clinic is depends on how good the doctor is in terms of knowledge and soft skillsExample in Setia Alam, Shah Alam. We have tons of clinics in old part Setia Alam and in new area, which is Setia Taipan I'm as a customer sometimes don't know which one to choose. My company medical can use in tons of clinics out there. As a young guy, I end up choose popular chain clinics such as Klinik Mediviron, Poliklink Lourdes instead of choosing to go to Klinik Dr Razila, Klinik Dr Tan etc etc I feel that I trust more brand that have branch in different places instead of going to the clinic that I mentioned above. ItHow about u all? How do u choose your clinic? Or you will simply go any clinic to get the medicine and consultation? Some doctors are good but no soft skills. Some doctors have soft skills but lack knowledge. Since its a service line, its how uou build up your network of customers who trust you. For me i go to mediviron, i find it one of the worst kliniks there is. Doctors are all locum . So normally i will go to clinics which are being run by the owners themselves. |

How to choose?
If you go in the room and not 1min done diagnose and give MC, then you know you need to go another. |
