Dr. R; you need a new website!!!
It is so depressing! You need a site that is bright and positive with pictures of happy clients that have done this with you!! Before and after pics would be nice!
Pictures of your staff, yourself with patients. Positive encouragement to come to you for service!! Who does your marketing should be fired!!
