I often shake my head in disbelief to think that many of my fellow chiropractors will shell out thousands of dollars in practice management seminars when a book such as this exists for a fraction of the cost, and in truth, is much better.

Ivan Delman has managed to take important universal truths of business success and apply it to chiropractic in a simple but powerful way. Passion, wisdom, humor, and compassion are the hallmarks of his writing style that walks you through essential steps in creating the practice of your dreams.

Just as in chiropractic we tell our patients to please try chiropractic first before doing expensive, needless surgery, I suggest that D.C.'s read this gem of a book first before attending an expensive seminar.

You won't be sorry.

I purchased the 1st edition of this book while still in chiropractic college and the 2nd edition when it came out shortly after my graduation. It presents excellent ideas and concepts for managing your practice succesfully. Much more informative and useful than any chiro business class while in school. It is an easy read. I highly recommend it!

This is an excellent reference for medical practitioners of all disciplines as well as Chiropractic. It gives business guidance that is not taught in medical schools. I wish I had known some of these things when I started in medical practice in 1976. Dr. Delman speaks from experience and is a source of inspiration.
Using Dr. Delman's book should make business success much easier than going by trial and error.

Dr. Ivan Delman's "The Business of Chiropractic: How to Prosper After Startup" is a must have for any DC from the new graduate to the established doctor looking to expand or to simply run their practice more efficiently. I've found this book to be a great resource and wealth of information and strongly recommend it to others especially if you are a new graduate who feels as if their chiropractic institution did not adequately prepare you for the business world.

Ivan Delman's "Business of Chiropractic" is, without a doubt,
the best source on starting and running a successful chiropractic
office that I have read yet. Whenever I hire a new associate,
they read this book first, before they do anything else. Everyone
that I interview and every student that interns at my office is
recommended that they read this book. Every other practice
management book I have read is full of "fluff". Ivan breaks it
down to "brass tacks" and gives you the meat and potatoes. The
only negative comment I have is that I did not have this book
when I started my practice!

Ivan Delman has outdone himself with the second edition.
There is updated information that applies to any practicing DC either new in practice or a seasoned veteran.
I have his book next to my desk in the office and I consult it often.
I especially appreciate the sections on how to train and handle employees.
I made a lot of mistakes in the past that could have been avoided if I had this book.
I recommend it highly.

With a thorough examination of the issues a practice faces after start up, this book is as close as it comes to distilling all of the required know how in a single useful book.

The organization of the information is logical and useful. Some of the subjects covered include Essential Clinic Functions, Delegation, Cash Flow, Paperwork Reduction, Personnnel, Marketing, Advertising, and many, many others.

This is by far the most thorough and useful single reference book on managing a chiropractic practice that I have ever come across. If you are involved in the management of a chiropractic practice, pick up a copy of this book and keep it close at hand. You will find yourself referring to it often.

This is the book, more than any other, that helped me set up my practice. It contains practical information about how to get new customers after opening the doors, not to mention how to advertise without being crass. If I'd bought it earlier, I would have been even more successful. Even though it says "after startup," I think reading it before startup is good.

This book deserves a prominent spot on every doctor's bookcase! The second edition of Dr. Ivan Delman's practice management "bible" is especially useful for doctors of chiropractic, but the solution-oriented business and marketing advice would apply to almost any small business, especially those in the health-care field.

Dr. Delman never disappoints. He has outdone himself once again, with this edition of "The Business of Chiropractic: How to Prosper After Startup."

The book is filled with specific practice management problems and solutions, with lots of hands-on information. It's useful for the new doctor, and can help experienced doctors take their businesses to the next level.

Dr. Delman's easy-to-read prose; vivid, real-life examples; and a touch of humor keep you turning the pages to find out what comes next. Some of the highlights of the book include: how to identify the four functions of any successful clinic; how to develop as a manager; how to use a marketing guide to determine your market viability; how to manage cash flow through the use of statistics and trends; and much more.

This book is an excellent read all the way through, and I have a feeling many doctors will find themselves referring back to it again and again.

This book is a must have begining chiropractors. My husband and I each read the book individually then compared notes. Our busienss just opened this week and are thrilled with the info we gleened from this book. There were helpful tips on every facet of running the busienss and I am glad we read it prior to start-up. I am sure it will save us time and money in the long run! The book was worth every penny. Dr. Delman gives successful practice tips from his own experiences in the industry. It is a very straightforward read. We are excited to get our business started with this valuable resource at hand. We have recomended his book to numerous of my husbands class mates and will continue to do so!
