Building Automation That Sounds Like You (Not a Robot)

Every reminder, confirmation, and follow-up your front desk sends is a chance to build trust — or get unsubscribed. Most teams run the generic, canned versions baked into their EMR, the ones patients tune out. This is about the difference between automation that sounds like a robot and automation that sounds like you. Andrea talks with Becky Godsey, Chief Operating Officer at Denver Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics, who slowly rebuilt her practice’s automated messaging to feel personal, protect the schedule, and take busywork off the front desk. She breaks down her exact cadence — a message at booking, a three-days-out reminder paired with pre and post-treatment instructions, a post-checkout care link, and the one timing trick that gets far more patients to leave a review. They also get into where automation should stop and a human has to pick up the phone — anxious patients, complications, payment-plan questions — plus how a front-desk QR code and a linked instructions page stop wasted appointments before they happen, and why the surgeon, not a text, should be the one asking surgical patients for a review. Questions answered by this episode: How do you get patients to leave reviews?What is the best time to ask a patient for a review?How do you reduce appointment no-shows and cancellations?How do automated appointment reminders work?Should you call or text patients to confirm appointments?How can AI help write patient text messages and emails?What should pre and post-treatment instructions include?How do you ask surgery patients for a review?How often should you text patients before they unsubscribe?How do you set up an EMR for patient communication? Becky Godsey Chief Operating Officer, Denver Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics Becky Godsey is the Chief Operating Officer of Denver Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics, the Denver practice founded by Dr. Christine Rodgers. Since joining the team in 2016, she has run operations across every department — staffing, processes, and the patient experience from the first phone call to post-op follow-up. Before plastics, she built her career in advertising and sales and managed a healthcare nonprofit, and that mix shows up in how she thinks about patient communication: efficient, but never robotic. She is the person quietly rebuilding the systems most practices just complain about.

Do GLP-1s Help With Binge Eating?

Ashley tried everything. She tried all the diets: Weight Watchers, Nutrisystem, SlimFast, Houston Methodist Medical Weight Management program. Even after a gastric sleeve, her weight climbed back up to 320 lbs. Going to therapy for binge eating was good, but still didn’t help her lose weight. In 2024, exhausted from trying to lose weight yet again, she thought, “screw it, if I’m going to be fat, why not just get rid of my double chin?” So she decided to have neck lift surgery and found a plastic surgeon, and that’s where she discovered GLP-1s by accident. Not long after that, she started on the medication and the rest is history.

Bye-Bye Saggy Skin: Best Non-Surgical Tightening, Bald Spot Taboos, and Kris Jenner’s $300K Regret

Searches for “sagging skin” jumped almost 170% in a year, which is why your TikTok feed is suddenly full of non-surgical facelifts, lasers, and machines promising tight skin without a scalpel. Dr. Kat Gallus and Bri break down what actually works — Renuvion, Morpheus 8, Ultherapy, laser, microneedling, microcoring — and which ones are oversold marketing. We get into Kris Jenner’s $300K facelift regret and why a year-old filtered photo set unrealistic expectations for everyone, Nikki Glaser’s Hulu labia routine, and the male plastic surgery procedure nobody wants to admit to. Plus a rapid-fire myth-or-fact round on whether one Renuvion treatment is really enough, why FDA-approved doesn’t mean a device works, and why doing all this in your 30s won’t save you from a facelift later.
