The Medical Risk Institute posted “Social Media and the Practice of Medicine – Protect Yourself on Pinterest” featuring Dr. Purvisha Patel.

Are you one of the many that has a Pinterest account? Pinterest provides businesses a way to interact with their consumers in ways other social media does not allow. Dr. Patel explains why Pinterest is an opportune way to converse with their consumers.

People seem to love Pinterest. Users can find what they like and file it away without the clutter associated with an actual bulletin board. Pinterest has become a popular way for medical practices to promote their products and work by posting images for others to comment on and share. Memphis, Tennessee Dermatologist, Dr. Purvisha Patel, knows the power of Pinterest all too well.

“Social media is important to reach out to our demographic which is women of our age and also reach out to the younger generation as well,” Patel said.

Pinterest has more referral traffic than LinkedIN Google+ and YouTube combined. It is not surprising that 68.2% of Pinterest users are women and 28% have an annual household income of $100,000. Pinterest is just starting to grow with no sight of popping in the near future.

“We wanted to grow as a practice and grow where the country is growing as well, on Pinterest,” Patel said.

Memphis Business Journal posted “What project or endeavor do you plan to finance with a loan this year?” featuring Dr. Purvisha Patel.

Advanced Dermatology & Skin Cancer Associates is expanding to a new location!

Purvisha Patel Founder and owner Advanced Dermatology & Skin Cancer Associates

I am working with a bank to finance my new clinic in DeSoto County this year. Advanced Dermatology & Skin Cancer Associates will be opening in Olive Branch in March, expanding our existing Germantown clinic.

Financing was the best option for us because it has allowed me a secure stream of funding, ensuring that our progress is ongoing and our planning is not obstructed along the way. It also allows me to focus on building our practice in North Mississippi and providing continued quality care to our patients, rather than constantly thinking about the finances behind the project.

The Commercial Appeal posted “Women to Watch: Dr. Purvisha Patel / ‘Positive Vibe’ Helps Skin Care Specialist Thrive” featuring Dr. Purvisha Patel.

Dr. Purvisha Patel made her way into dermatology not only because it made her happy, but because she knew that through it, she could make others happy.

I found it incredibly gratifying, said Patel, owner and physician at Advanced Dermatology & Skin Cancer Associates in Germantown. A patient sees something wrong, comes to you to have it fixed, and you can generally fix it. People can get better. In medicine, we can treat and help in so many ways, but people can’t always quantify that help or see the results of that treatment. With dermatology, it’s a win-win. Everyone’s happy.

She prides herself, in fact, on the happy office environment she’s created at her four-year-old practice, which offers a full range of services, including cosmetic and skin cancer treatment.
