Developing Rapport with Your Patients: Don’t Underestimate the Importance of Touch presented by Erin Gilbert, MD, PhD

I think the value of touch is underestimated and undervalued. When I inject my patients, whether it’s Botulinum toxin or a filler, I spend a good five minutes after I inject applying arnica to my patients. And, the reason I do that is because the relationship between patient and doctor really needs to be based on trust and I think touch is an important part of that.
