 Excellent Resource! March 28, 2008
This is an excellent resource in starting your own practice. I am using it for a project, but I would highly recommend it. It has some great practical ideas and suggestions.

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.

 Use this book for creating a business plan November 27, 2007
I purchased this book for the intent of helping me write a business plan. The book is quite useful for the purpose of starting a physical therapy business. It contains helpful service benchmarks and loads of patient forms and examples of important documents needed in preparing your business plan. I would not recommend the book if you're interested in management tips; it is geared primarily for start-ups or new businesses. Very well written and easy to understand.

Since I had recently opened my own practice, I thought the book would give insight on where to market and some tools needed for marketing and just tips on how to efficiently run an outpatient clinic. I found this book to be not so helpful,it seemed as if the author wanted to steer anyone away from having their own practice and a lot of the reading was very vague, so... purchase at your own risk
Worth every penny and much more! April 2, 2007

As a physician considering offering PT services,I found this book excellent. Everything from ICD-9 to CPT crosswalks, to negotiating with managed care, to courting a referring doctor is covered here. Good general primer on running any type of healthcare practice.
