Are PT Mills Bad? The Debate Nobody Wants to Have (But Needs To)
In this no-holds-barred discussion, Jimmy McKay sits down with Tony Maritato and Dave Kittle to ask a question most PTs avoid: is operating like a “mill” really that bad?

Topics Covered:
- Clinic scheduling & reimbursement challenges
- Perception vs. reality: What “mill” clinics get right (and wrong)
