Summary: The Myth of myth.
Comment: Ever been talking to an person of an older generation and he or she starts to ramble? That's what it felt like reading this book. Even the structure and chapters of the book are disorganized - "I'm going to talk to you about employees" . . ."Now I am going to talk to you about money". . ."Now I am going to talk to you about people" and so on.
As far as business issues, the author seems to obsess about doctors keeping on time with appointments (which should be a legitimate focus of business operations) but does not offer any solution to the predicament of when a patient has further health concerns. Do we cut them off and tell them to schedule more next time? Defer them to a nurse?
And what about other issues a physician faces? Managed care contracts, malpractice, competition, long hours, declining reimbursement. . .?
The only redeeming quality about the book was his recommendation to produce a procedure manual of sorts for your practice. That sort of thinking can help one organize themselves.
But all in all, I would pass on this one.

Summary: Looking at the big picture
Comment: My partners and I read the E-Myth Physician after reading the E-Myth Revisited. The concepts and systemization of our company have significantly changed our practices in the last year. After looking at some of the other reviews I noticed a common theme, people either love the book or hate it. Those who were not pleased with the book all have another common theme in that they did not feel it offered any "practical" solutions to their problems. That point of view absolutely supports Gerber's idea of the "technition" working in the business and not working on the business. I would not recommend this book for people looking for quick solutions to daily problems in their practice, but if you want to change your practice and the way you look at your business it is an excellent addition to the E-Myth series.

Summary: I am a doctor for doctors...
Comment: I have read many of Mr. Gerber's books and have applied his insights to my own practice (not medicine, but financial planning).
I work exclusively with physicians and his commentary is right on. Many physicians who feel his book does not provide solutions to their problems are very much still a technician within their practice, working within it and not on it.
I have showed clients of mine, who originally did not feel the book provided enough answers to their problems, how the service they receive from my firm is directly attributed to Mr. Gerber's book.
After doing so, you can see the light go off in their head, and many of my clients are running more effecient offices, making the same or more money, and most importantly are enjoying what they truly love to do, practive medicine.
