Podiatry Practice Mastery

DON PELTO, DPM · PODIATRY PRACTICE MASTERY

Tools I Use & Recommend

The software, services, equipment, and resources I use to run my podiatry practice and Podiatry Practice Mastery.

I get asked frequently which tools I use for accounting, AI, marketing, patient education, staffing, and running a more efficient practice. Instead of answering those questions individually, I put my recommendations in one place.

These aren't random sponsors. They're tools I use myself or resources I would feel comfortable recommending to another podiatrist.

A quick note

Some links on this page are referral links. If you purchase through one of them, I may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. That does not change what I recommend. My goal is simply to share resources I've found genuinely useful.

01 · PRACTICE FINANCIALS

Know your numbers

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

Podiatry Accounting/Bookkeeping

One of the biggest problems I see in podiatry practices is that doctors know how much they produce but don't really know where the money goes. I like tools that make the financial side of a practice easier to understand and give the owner a clearer picture of profitability.
