Praise for Customer Service in Health Care

"The challenge of creating a thoroughly customer-oriented culture in a health care organization is so much more fundamental than sending a few people off to be 'Disneyfied.'...The challenge, however, can be met--as this book demonstrates--if leadership appreciates the key role of middle managers and, as the author so wonderfully says, builds the culture 'from the ground up.' Filling this book with examples, techniques, and tips, the author comes from and speaks to the real world."
--Terrence J. Rynne, President,Rynne Marketing Group, and author of Healthcare Marketing in Transition

"A wonderful guide that every manager can use.... Kristin Baird's advice helps health care leaders understand the need for great customer satisfaction."
--Stephanie G. Sherman, Author of Total Customer Satisfaction: A Comprehensive Approach for Health Care Providers

"Combines the inspiration of 'why to focus' on customer service with the real-life 'how to's.' An excellent road map for health care leaders that provides direction and milestones in the journey toward great customer service!"
--Quint Studer, President, Baptist Hospital, Inc., of Pensacola, Florida
