Vanadco Signs installed a new awning at Berger Audiology on Thursday. (And just in time for the rain today!) They did a nice job for Becky. It’s an aesthetic improvement that makes the office look more professional. Becky says she thinks it has lowered the temperature in the waiting area by about 10 degrees, plus she is able to open the blinds sooner in the morning. I think that concludes the building improvements and Dr. Rebecca Berger’s office is officially complete. Keep an eye out for a Ribbon Cutting in the near future.
If you want to see the before picture, you can find that in a previous post here.
This is the mailer that went out mid-month in August. I’ve cropped it because it had a promotional tracking phone number. Going forward Becky wants to get the regular number out:
We were pleased to see the new signs go up yesterday. They should make Berger Audiology a little easier to find. We were fortunate to be allowed to reuse the base signs and only change the faces, so that saved some expense. It was still significant since there were six separate sign installations required. We’re hoping the highway sign will be clear enough, though the lettering proved to be a little small. We think the facade sign came out nicely. We will also be adding an awning above the door which should provide a nice accent.
Becky has a full schedule this week and is interviewing for an assistant. Currently she’s handling the phones and check-ins while seeing patients, so bear with her. She’s definitely pleased with the number of former patients that have taken the time to track her down. In some cases they have waited for service until she got up and running which has been extremely humbling to her – though slightly ironic considering one of the reasons she chose to leave The Hearing Clinic and start her own practice was her concerns about the long wait times patients endured when attempting to make appointments.
Jeff Kenney did a nice article on Becky that appeared in last week’s Culver Citizen and yesterday’s Pilot News. She has sent cards out to residents in the area to let people know where she is. Hopefully this article with help with that as well. For those of you trying to find her, she’s taking appointments at (574) 935-HEAR(4327). Grant Munroe is working on a website for her at bergeraudiology.com, but that’s not up and running yet.
Thanks to all of you that have been supportive of her in this endeavor. Hopefully you can enlarge the article above enough to read it, but it not, let me know and I’ll send you a copy.
Becky saw her first patient today! Her schedule is starting to fill up next week. She’s excited!
She’s still struggling with some of the office management software, but she should have that under control soon. She’s gotten all her audiology equipment installed and has most of the support materials in place. Monday she has a fairly full day of patients. She’s looking forward to getting back in touch with the clients she has worked for over the past two decades.
