5.0 out of 5 stars The most reliable road map for physical therapy entrepreneurs, December 30, 2007
This review is from: Starting And Managing Your Own Physical Therapy Practice (Paperback)
Don't read this book if your physical therapy practice is already profitable and is steadily growing or if you can allocate over fifty thousand hours to gain practical experience and earn both a doctorate in physical therapy and an MBA.

Esterson's combined experience and education position him as an ideal mentor for any physical therapy entrepreneur. The book's 15 chapters cover everything you need to know to start and grow your own practice, from testing your motivation and personal attitude, to selection of name and corporate type, to budget analysis, to managing business bank account, to writing a winning business plan, to building your management team, to selecting the best location, space, and equipment, to medical billing, to marketing your practice to patients and doctors, to working with managed care payers, to compliant and audit-safe coding, to hiring and managing employees, and measuring your success. Over 40 pages of various forms make a useful addition to this most reliable road map for physical therapy entrepreneurs.

4.0 out of 5 stars PT Book Review, February 6, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Starting And Managing Your Own Physical Therapy Practice (Paperback)
Excellent book, great to start out with but I don't fully agree with all of the author's business approaches. Especially if you want to open up multiple offices. I do suggest the read, it is straight forward and has the essentials you need to know. Well worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT BOOK!, July 12, 2010
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Starting And Managing Your Own Physical Therapy Practice (Paperback)
I am in the midst of starting my own PT practice. I had a few questions about insurance, and a few other particulars about starting this type of company. This book was very helpful, very informative, and gave a lot of references of where to go to get information. I read other reviews saying it wasn't a good "marketing" book, or the book seemed like the author was trying to talk you out of openning your own PT practice, but its not a marketing book and the author is just preparing you for possible pit-falls of the business. Excellent book if you are thinking of starting your own PT practice, I got a lot of valuable info out of it!!
