Sunday Leader via Sri Express
Calcium is required for maintaining good bone health and dental care, preventing colon cancer and even reducing obesity. It is a mineral people need from the womb to the tomb, and kids need extra doses of calcium for growth and development.

As important as trust and clinical prowess are, the most important factor to consistently generating new patient referrals is to exceed your existing patients' expectations. Despite the many subtle ways to do this, it's best to consistently take action.
