Do I Need a Longer Eval Time?

What length of time is appropriate for an initial evaluation?  We really feel the minimum length for an eval is one hour.  If you're in a setting where that isn't being provided it's something to fight for.  Patients deserve to have the time to tell their story and still get a full evaluation on the first day.When you have your own practice it can be tempting to further extend the evaluation to 90 minutes (or longer).  We go through the business implications of a longer eval and ask the question "who are you doing that for?"Pelvic Health Business ResourcesIf you have your own practice or are thinking of starting one, check out the Pelvic PT Rising Business Mentorship and Business Resources (www.pelvicptrising.com/business).  We want everyone who dreams of owning their own practice to build a successful, thriving business to help more patients.Shout Out and Get in Touch!If you're enjoying the podcast, please take a few seconds to take a screenshot and put it up in your Instagram Stories and tag Nicole (@nicolecozeandpt).  Or send us an email at [email protected] with your thoughts, questions or ideas.  We'd love to hear from you!About UsNicole and Jesse Cozean founded PelvicSanity Physical Therapy together in 2016.  It grew quickly into one of the largest cash-based physical therapy practices in the country.  They run Pelvic PT Rising, providing both clinical and business resources exclusively tailored to pelvic PTs.Get in Touch!Learn more at www.pelvicptrising.com, follow Nicole @nicolecozeandpt (www.instagram.com/nicolecozeandpt) or reach out via email ([email protected]).Check out our Clinical Courses, Business Resources and learn more about us at Pelvic PT Rising...Let's Continue to Rise!
