From the title, I thought this would be about improving the front desk. I was completely wrong. This is among the very best books I read while studying for my CVPM. It covers all aspects of the job, it's well organized, and it's well written.

I purchased this book for a class. I personally do not enjoy the front management (reception) part of this class. I enjoy being a nurse rather than a receptionist. I did not find this book very enjoying but only because of what I like to do in my profession. Although this book has great information on how to handle client, communication, legal documents, and the right way to do everything. I did find useful information that I even incorporated into the practice I work for. I since then have left so not sure if its still being used. Overall a great book.

Way too much text and not enough real life applications. It claims to come with a website but only instructors can access it. The test bank it comes with for instructors come with almost paragraph long questions and several sentence long possible answers- as many options as A-G. This make tests extremely long and difficult. The tests from this book's test bank are also opinionated, yet the book in it's reading does not state what it's opinion or point of view is. This book was very frustrating for students and instructors.

This is a great first book to help you run a veterinary office.Easy to read and find chapters that you need.M Ramirez

its informative. the letters aren't too small. i would definitely recommend to anyone that is considering the verterinary field. get it

Way to technical for the average reader. Lots of pages with tax information as well as examples of the forms that are outdated.

I have a very hard time reading this book and staying awake but I'm unsure if it's the way the book is written or the subject matter.

The information on information technology desperately needs reviewing by an IT professional. Most of the content is otherwise good.
