HIGHLY RECOMMEND,
By A Customer
This review is from: Starting a Medical Practice: The Physician's Handbook for Successful Practice Start-Up (Practice Success! Series) (Paperback)
This was the best $50 that I spent to get my practice started. I was an employee at a large group for 5 years, but I had no idea where to start for certain licenses and regulations. The chapter "Managing Personnel" was especially helpful. This book is concise and clearly written. It has excellent resources listed, such as helpful websites. This book would be helpful to someone just finishing residency and someone who has been an employee of a group for several years. JMMD

Hard to get past the Typos,

This review is from: Starting a Medical Practice: The Physician's Handbook for Successful Practice Start-Up (Practice Success! Series) (Paperback)
This book was amusing, informative and very easy to read. The author spends much of his time promoting himself as a Practice Manager and offers his help and his advice "by the hour". It is difficult, however, to envision the thought of paying an expert whose own book contains a minimum of 1 typographical error per page. I question the attention to detail and fiscal expertise of someone whose own publication reads like my 3rd graders book report (before editing). Typos aside, the book provided us with a baseline level of Practice Management information and offered a solid introduction to what will be a new endeavor for my husband and I.

This review is from: Starting a Medical Practice: The Physician's Handbook for Successful Practice Start-Up (Practice Success! Series) (Paperback)
A bit too basic most of this information is available free online through ACP or AAFP.
