As we close out another year, this episode isn't about productivity tips, growth hacks, or pushing harder into the next twelve months. Instead, it's about something deeper — something seen in practices all across the country, and something many teams quietly feel but rarely pause long enough to acknowledge.

It's the difference between being busy… and being intentional.

For many dermatology practices, the past year has been full. And when a practice gets busy — especially for long stretches of time — something subtle starts to happen.

Busyness begins to replace purpose. We'll tackle that problem at the perfect time -- the end of the year -- on this episode.

Thanks to GentleCure from SkinCure Oncology for sponsoring The Distinctive Dermatologist this year. Their commitment to helping practices deliver the Ultimate Customer Experience® is more than a program or partnership — it reflects a deeper belief that when we care intentionally, outcomes improve, trust strengthens, and practices thrive.
