The Inspiring Memoir and Manual for Doctors Considering Private Practice

Everyone knows the path to becoming a doctor: study, study and more study. Depending on your specialty, you’ll spend four years in pre-med, followed by four years in medical school. And then, to earn that white coat, you’ll toil night and day, rounding for years as a resident in a range of healthcare settings.

You might think that a few of those many hours would be devoted to helping a novice doctor master the basics of launching a private practice. However, what Justin Berthold, D.O., learned the hard way was that there was no roadmap for how to go into private practice. So he wrote his own to light the path for others.

Doctor and Goliath is an inspirational how-to manual to help doctors make the leap into private practice at any stage of their career. Part uplifting memoir, part D-I-Y training guide, it takes listeners along on Berthold’s incredible journey. Doctor and Goliath documents how Dr. Berthold built his practice from zero to 7,000 patients in the shadow of two Goliath healthcare systems. Readers will learn how to:

• Negotiate a lease like a pro
• Buy or lease medical equipment economically
• Select an EMR system
• Hire and train quality employees
• Dodge the hidden landmines of credentialing and regulatory bodies
• Furnish their new office frugally and tastefully
• Promote their practice with inexpensive ways
• And more…

Whether you’re weighing your professional options after med school, while in residency, or in the middle of your career, don’t go it alone. Find the information and inspiration you’ll need to carve your own path in Doctor and Goliath by Justin Berthold, D.O.
