Join Dr. Lona and Dr. Bobby as they break down why the Day One examination is more than just clinical steps. It’s the moment you start building trust, demonstrating certainty, and creating a clear pathway for your patient to say yes. They reveal how slowing down, narrating findings, and using intentional touch can shift someone from uncertain to committed—sometimes before they even see their scans. You’ll hear how to use the exam to uncover “clues,” build curiosity, and lay the groundwork for a high-converting Day Two conversation.
If your Day Two results feel hit or miss, it’s probably what you missed on Day One. This conversation shows you how to fix that.
