As an experienced acupuncturist and practice management instructor, I see great value in this book for those in Chinese Medicine. Chapters 7-14 on explaining acupuncture and setting patient expectations are gold. While some sections were less useful to me, new practitioners will benefit, and veterans may find valuable insights.

This book offers valuable practice management advice for acupuncturists, a topic often overlooked in school. Mr. Bauer’s candid, practical approach makes it worthwhile. Since reading, I’ve improved how I set patient health goals and track treatment outcomes. A great resource for practitioners.

Few books cover acupuncture business management and marketing, and Matthew does a great job sharing real-life insights. This is a must-read for acupuncture students or anyone considering it as a career, offering a clear picture of what it takes to succeed.
