5.0 out of 5 stars Psychiatrist Review, May 12 2004

Leif Skille (Northern California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Successful Physician: A Productivity Handbook For Practitioners (Paperback)

This book really "works"-it's getting rid of the stress in my medical practice. The text is fast reading, no-balony, actually entertaining-loaded with great examples, quotes, and vignettes that drive home the many pearls (and a fair scattering of diamonds) or practical wisdom. I was immediately able to tell this book was written by practicing docs just like me: no wheezy absrtractions, no boring theory-mongoring, and no long lists of desirable (but impossible-to -achieve) "ideal" practices. Instead this is smart, practical stuff I have been able to use immediately to save myself hassles and wasted time/motion/effort. I highly recommend to all physicians the section on how to leverage your relationships to produce more, and also the section on continuing education, which was an eye-opener for me. I personally feel that every practicing physician should have a copy of this book,and use what's in it. Get this book today-it will work for you.

This review is from: The Successful Physician: A Productivity Handbook for Practitioners (Paperback)

A wonderful book for new docs, but as one who has practices for 20 years , I felt "been there done that" with most of the advice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Getting a Handle on the Practice of Medicine, Mar 22 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Successful Physician: A Productivity Handbook for Practitioners (Paperback)

I was quickly overwhelmed after starting a practice straight out of training. This book has helped me manage my practice, my patients and my continuing education without feeling overwhelmed. I continually refer back to it. He quickly gets to the heart of the problem (too much to do/too little time to do it in) and helps you prioritize your goals. He then gives you very specific tools to help you control your practice and not have it control you. This book is for any physician who feels they are approaching burnout and resents the ever increasing demands on our time. Straightforward and to the point. Some of the time-saving tips seem obvious, but organizing the 'tips' into an overall game plan is what makes this book successful.
