Dear Doctor,

Please fill out the attached surveys. The purpose of these surveys is to help us assess personal concerns and design appropriate program(s) to meet each team member’s expressed needs, as well as work for the entire team and the benefit of the practice.

There are no right or wrong answers. However, we do request that you choose one answer; otherwise it cannot be counted.

Your responses will in no way jeopardize your job security; rather, your honesty gives us insight as to how we can best help you.

Please feel free to call us regarding any part of these surveys. Our conversation will be held in complete confidence.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Christian White
White & Associates Practice Consulting
