Perceived authority is a basic tenet to be successful on the Internet.  In simple terms, perceived authority means that you are an “expert” in whatever goods or services you provide.

Writing a book instantly elevates anyone to expert status, but what about doctors?  Aren’t doctors already experts?

Doctors are natural authorities on subjects of health and medicine.  Writing a book, however, further establishes your authority on your niche of medicine, sets you above your competitors and improves your professional brand.

There are advantages for your patients, for your practice…and you.

Advantages for Your Patients

Lynda talks about how a book helps to educate your patients.  Educated patients can streamline your practice because an educated patient;

• has fewer questions
• makes fewer phone calls
• requires fewer resources
• has shorter “chair time” in clinic
• is happier (they understand more)
• is healthier
• reports a better patient experience
