From legal issues to planning, this structured guide offers a focus on practical assessments and solutions key to the vet practice.” (Midwest Book Review, November 2008)

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent book, March 8, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Blackwell's Five-Minute Veterinary Practice Management Consult (Hardcover)
This book gives an excellent review of basic business practices in a veterinary practice. All veterinarians should read it to be sure they are following generally accepted practices. I suspect many are not, due to a lack of business education in veterinary schools, as well as being preoccupied with the clinical aspects of practice.
