or at least they are trying to be. The gems from MDPTpartners are now resorting to mass emails to try and lure unsuspecting PT’s into their POPTS game. You just have to love their Major Headlines-“You possess and industry called physical therapy that you are not being compensated for. Let’s change that today!!”
How they got tons of PT’s email addresses is beyond me but test assured I have little confidence in their “unsubscribe feature”. Their ending email blast includes this bizarre note:
TAKE ACTION – Doug recently told me a shocking statistic. His average telephone conversation with a physician is 15-20 minutes with 90%+ ending in an agreement to move forward. His average conversation with a PT is one hour with 50% actually doing something within a month. The problem is that the physician tells Doug whom he wants to work with so by the time the PT has finally decided to move forward, the physician has a contract and is seeing patients, your territory is taken and you are shut out. I urge you to take action to assure a secure and profitable future.
I haven’t seen a sham this good for PT’s since some unscrupulous PT’s in Kentucky as a method to affirm their credibility while soliciting doc deals formed the Ethical Physical Therapy Association which sounded legit to many docs looking to make a few benjamins in the PT business.
Although there are many outside of the PT world doing the same thing, it should be duly noted that these are PT companies aggressively seeking doc deals.
