Reader Review
Great business advice for the new chiropractor,
July 2, 2002
Reviewer: A reader from Spartanburg, SC
A very rare find within the field of chiropractic. This
book presents solid and very practical advice for new
chiropractors just starting out. I thought that the
authors did a nice job with detailing the necessary steps
in negotiating a business lease. Much of the material
that is included is written in an easy to understand
format that is not intimidating to the inexperienced
chiropractor.
Information such as this is difficult to find in our
profession.The book is basically broken up into two
portions. The first half deals with practice startup
which is filled with many great ideas on how to keep
office overhead low while making the office extremely
functional. The second portion of the book deals with
patient management advice during your first year in
practice. The authors also included a nice assortment of
office forms that can be utilized in the private office
setting.
If you are in the process of opening a chiropractic
office this book is a must read.
