Mindblowing

The Practice Summit this weekend by far met the expectations that I had. Nitin, collectively with his guest speakers, were downright pragmatic, inspirational, and comical. I left this with three salient themes drilled into my head:

1. Engage in high level activity. Don’t make the attempt to wear multiple hats.

2. Be systematic. There’s a distinct difference from being strategical versus tactical.

3. Adapt to the medical paradigm shift that’s happening before our eyes. We must rely not so heavily on insurance, and incorporate publicly sought out programs that are cash based. I intend to attend next year and would be willing to endorse Practice Summit to anyone who has the slightest inclination to transform their company – their life.

The Practice Summit this weekend by far exceeded the expectations that I had.

Hi Nitin You did it again! The Private Practice Summit exceeded my expectations. As a prior attendee and Master Mind member I’ve had the benefit of learning an abundance of fantastic information from you already. Like reading a classic book, I knew I would gain additional insight re-attending a seminar of such a high caliber. What I did not fully expect was all of the improvements and new/updated information.

How you improved something that was already so awesome is an inspiration and a lesson. Regardless of how great you may think your practice is there is always room for improvement. Always review what you have built to see how you can tweak it. In our ever-changing world, Even the most successful of systems should be reevaluated and assessed for areas that can be improved. Better than knowing even the best of the best can be improved, I have the resources to make it happen!  A relatively short time ago I did not have the skill set necessary, I do now.

If I fail to implement the processes to improve my practice I cannot expect to attain/maintain the practice I strive to build. Best of all I do not have to do it all myself. Resources, templates, outlines, forms are also provided. Opportunities throughout the weekend existed to begin relationships with like-minded therapists from all over the country and Canada. I left with a new group of colleagues, friends and contacts.  Through the giving hand philosophy you promote I shared and received some great resources —so refreshing not to be in a strangling competitive environment prevalent in these difficult times.

I brought a colleague who owns a private practice in a neighboring town, she was blown away. Initially some attendees thought it strange I would share with a competitor. It was not long before they realized it is not the private practice down the road we need to work against but with. Strengthening our profession is a win/win situation. I have and will continue to tell all therapists to attend a seminar with Nitin Chhoda whether or not they have a private practice. Information learned will make you a more valuable employee.

Increase your understanding in why your employer may be making the decisions they make. Understanding the business side of a private practice may aid you to facilitate positive changes, to improve your work environment and negotiate benefits package. Thank you to the entire staff of PP Summit for making the weekend even better by addressing all of our needs. The raffles, prizes, meals and cocktail party were all fun bonuses. Sincerely,

Karen A.Rafferty PT, Village Physical Therapy & Wellness, PC, New York

Nitin, I shared a video testimonial, but will send a written one as well.  Here goes…Just when you begin to think you are getting this “out of the box thinking thing”, I’d like to invite you to meet Nitin… I just had the amazing opportunity to spend 3 jam packed days with Nitin and his stellar team at the Private Practice Summit.

I’ve been watching/reading his stuff for 2 years now and decided to take the plunge and be an active participant in his conference. One word best describes this life altering experience, “AMAZING…”  The tools, contacts and material that I left with will completely transform how I run my successful PT practice. I feel blessed to have had this truly wonderful experience and look forward to many years of continued growth and development with Nitin and his team.

Elizabeth Pearl PT, President/Owner, Pearl Physical Therapy, New York

Hello Nitin, Here is my some cents worth testimonial: I am very grateful to you for organizing “Private Practice Summit 2011”. I am an owner of Outpatient Rehabilitation Agency and a Home Health Agency. I have spent many years learning and implementing different models of running a successful business including their administrative and marketing aspects.

“Private Practice Summit 2011” event was an eye opener for me. In past, I have not met a rehabilitation professional so willing to help other rehabilitation professionals succeed. Your efforts were sincere and outpouring with NO NONSENSE strategies related to marketing and running a successful physical therapy practice. Expert panel presented during the summit was very knowledgeable and willing to share their experience. As for me, I was able to meet my peers from all over the United States and share our business and marketing cultures.

I was delighted to observe that no one was holding anything back and was eager to share their experience and help others find solutions. Finally, I would like to commend you for your expertise and coming up with marketing strategies for physical therapists in a concrete effective package, which if implemented correctly, can help me and other attendees to see our practice grow exponentially. Thank you for offering me such a great experience. I look forward to next year event.

Surinder Singh PT, CEO, Michigan Rehab Services, Americare Home Health Services

Hi Nitin, Thanks for hosting a great weekend of inspiring speakers with a ton of great information. I am a new practice owner and for the past year I have felt lost and intimidated by the competition.  I was doing everything wrong, trying one marketing strategy after another.

After attending your private practice summit I finally feel like I can take control over my referrals.  You covered everything and didn’t hold back. Also, you hosted a first class event and didn’t spare a penny.  This course was a steal. Thanks again.

Sam Putrino PT, DPT, Total Orthopedics, Physical Therapy and Sports Rehabilitation, New Jersey

Nitin, My brother and I thoroughly enjoyed the course material you and your staff prepared for this weekend.  It was extremely helpful for us to have the opportunity to learn about the tactics of successful marketing for private physical therapy practice. It was awesome to see you conduct the seminar and I’m excited to now include you in our networking circle. Thank you.

Greg Zaccone PT, Spectrum Physical Therapy & Athletic Training, New Jersey

The private practice summit accomplished exactly what I had hoped it would. It has re-energized me to move my physical therapy practice forward in a positive direction.

It has helped me to understand both the strengths and the weaknesses of my practice and what I can and should do to correct those weaknesses. There are so many ideas that were presented that I plan on implementing as soon as possible. Thanks to Nitin and all his presenters for giving hope that I can really work on my business and not in my business moving forward. Thanks a lot.

Khurram Khan PT, Crescent Physical Therapy P.C., New York

Hi Nitin, I really want to thank you for putting together the Summit! I came into the weekend with very low expectations and left with more valuable information than I can handle! I was exhausted and exhilarated at the same time. Not only were the speakers great but the other participants were so open and willing to share that it added another whole dimension to the weekend.

I have realized my vision and my TOP 3, now it’s time to go for it!  I will definitely be back next year and hope to begin Referral Ignition, Therapy Newsletter, and become a member of the Masterminds in the near future. (I almost don’t want too many people knowing how valuable this Summit was, I want to keep it all to ourselves!)

Eileen Kurtz PT, Children's Therapy Source/Somerset Family PT, New Jersey

After looking at Nitins’ mug on emails for like 2 years, I finally got off my butt, took action and attended the Private Practice Seminar 2011. Best idea I had all year. Pretty much every concept that Nitin shared was Marketing GOLD!!! The 35 templates for generating new patients were worth the entire seminar cost alone. Mind you, this was just ONE of the many modules presented.

There were raffles and prizes, a Tasty HOT lunch both days. And, every speaker that got on stage was simply inspired!! A free functional assessment seminar on Friday was just icing(free CEUs, people). Right now, I’m just wrapping my mind around the wealth of information presented, dare I say it was too much 🙂 No, I dare not. However I can truly say that it was an exceptional value and money truly well spent. Thanks so much Nitin- YOU EXCEEDED my expectations!!!

DR. Dmitry Lang PT, New York

The Private Practice Summit 2011 was absolutely phenomenal! I have been in practice for 19 years, 10 of them in private practice and there is nothing else like this out there. There were no ‘vague’ ideas of what you need to do with no mention of how to implement, everything was specific, and detailed…nothing was held back by any of the presenters.  You could feel the ‘buzz’ in the room.  It will be difficult only to pick the top 3 things to get started on. If you own a private practice or are thinking of becoming an owner, this is a ‘must go to’ seminar!

Jane Nicoli PT, Lakeside Physical Therapy and Fitness Center, West Virginia

OK.  I have a problem with the Nitin’s summit. There was way too much information. I have some much to work with, so many new ideas I do not know where to begin.

I know that when I implement any of the techniques and ideas that I received this weekend, it will have a huge impact on my practice and my bottom line. It was by far the best marketing conference I have ever been to, and I have been to many. Thanks again Nitin.

Dean Tahtinen PT, First Choice Physical Therapy Michigan

Nitin, Thanks so much for putting together the private practice summit. It was so informative and inspiring. It was great to meet and talk with others that are looking to bring their practices to the next level. I’ll see you at the next one!

Bob Fleming PT, Fleming Physical Therapy Consultants PC, New York

Hi Nitin, It was a great seminar, learned and earned more than I expected. Before, I thought my workplace was the worst but after listening from all staffing and marketing trouble shooting tools from the speaker and from the delegates, I realized that most people were having same problems and everybody were doing the same mistakes. But NOT anymore..!!

Now I know what I have to do and how to single out in my local community, how to bring new patients in and most importantly, how to make life easier and spending more time with friends and family. I see you next year.

Manan Shah PT, New York

Nitin puts together an awesome event filled with useful info that can benefit my practice right away. In fact, I already put 2 new ideas in motion this morning, less than 24hrs later!

Daniel P.Tahany PT, CSCS, Director, City Physical Therapy, PC ,New York

The seminar was a mind blowing experience. If anyone considering opening up your own practice, this is the only seminar that will guide you step by step.

Richard Serrano PT, Rockland Recovery Physical Therapy, PLLC, New York

Hi Nitin, I loved the conference. So much excellent information and so useful. I look forward to using it. The conference was well designed, loved all the speakers you chose. Very inspirational.
