This approach allows each patient to be treated uniquely for the best outcome.

How we do it

Magazines and Phone books• New Letterhead, business cards and mail

Rebranding Campaign

Why was it time for a rebranding campaign – • The physicians want to reinvest in the clinic• The existing logo has been used for 30 years

and was established before OAAC had multiple satellites

• We have several new physicians joining the practice and our physicians wanted a logo and image that better reflects who we are on a go forward basis.

Rebranding Campaign

We want the people who visit OAAC to have the best experience possible:• It all begins with your attitude - make it personal

& positive• With patients and coworkers – • Say “good morning “or “good afternoon”• Make eye contact• Be Re-assuring, Interested, Friendly and Warm
