Guest guest Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 In a related matter, can anyone recommend some good cheap (preferably free?) filemaker pro templates for practice management and patient data?

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Pete, A bit pessimistic there don't you think? Complementary care, acupuncture in particular is extremely profitable, and the notion that one needs " a LOT of money " is simply untrue. I know of, as i just simply think of it, three practitioners who are making six figure incomes, one who uses acupuncture alone (often profit is gained through herbs and supplements). In my experience, it is simply a matter of creativity and extroversion, how you live your life in general. It is tremendously easy to get caught up in a lack frame of mind, but in the end the only requirement of a good practice is whatever it takes to make it happen. Those who make it happen are successful, period. There are many many people who are doing extremely well in our profession in the states, globally as well. Avishay, you will be successful wherever you go, follow your dreams.

I know of, as i >just simply think of it, three practitioners who are making six figure Hi Tym! Say, you don't work at one of the schools, now, do you? Bet you didn't read " Points for Practice " , c'mon, fess up . . . I never tell the truth about this dirty little secret that someone doesn't come along and tell me I'm wrong, or worse. Is there any chance that you are seeing your three people who are actually the super-salesmen? They might also be careful and methodical physicians. Yeah, they might . . . >the only requirement of a good practice is whatever it takes to make it >happen. Where are you? What it takes to make it happen here is a LOT of money. There is one guy in town who is successful. He started some 15 years ago with the help of a (retired MD) angel. The paintings in his waiting room alone are worth a fortune and it goes up from there. If you are scratching for the rent, and you will be if you don't have it, my advice is valid. Bring money. -- Regards, Pete http://www.pete-theisen.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine a website that collects your clinic records, produces your reports, fills out your superbill and compiles research. What is that worth? How long does it take as it is, and what is that time worth? Since the data is on the web, you don't have to lug a laptop around, just remember your password. > doesn't have to be free - I just meant preferably ha ha. -- Regards, Pete http://www.pete-theisen.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
