Confident doctor headshots

Why a doctor's headshot builds patient trust

Patients pick a physician from a directory listing long before the first appointment, and the photograph is the only part of that listing they read as a person. A clear, current portrait reads as capable and approachable; a cropped badge photo reads as neither.

Framing

Head and shoulders with a direct eye line, still readable at directory-thumbnail size.

Backdrop

Exam room, clinic counter or plain studio grey, clean enough to stay behind the portrait.

Wardrobe

White coat, scrubs, or the coat over either, matched to how you dress for clinic.
