“I can say without reservation that I have been there, done that! The chapters read like a great mystery…uncovering the nucleus of the office problems. Judy is the Pink Panther of health care management. Judy presents the problem, solution and implementation plan in a very neat and orderly manner.”

“As far as I’m concerned, it should be required reading for any doctor who manages their business. Chapter 10 is my favorite chapter. It puts an organized method of focusing on the important numbers of a medical practice: what goes in vs. what is going out.”

“Every practice has pitfalls to avoid, crises to fix, and goals to meet. No matter how well we think our practices are doing, there is usually room for improvement and trouble always looming on the horizon. Judy’s analysis and recommendations are very specific, practical and direct.”

“I was blown away by the chapters I read. I think this book should be on the desk of every practice manager, physician, supervisor, consultant, state and local medical associations, practice management companies, etc. the list is endless. This should be required reading for anyone that is striving to be successful and fulfilled in practice management or is endeavoring to provide sound, logical advice to healthcare professionals. Not only did Judy thoroughly research pertinent practice issues and develop a plan of action, she provided sound guidance on how to gain the “buy in” from those individuals involved in a change of process. This guidance alone will be of great value to the practice administrators and managers that I know!”
