Chiropractic Physician Cover Letter

Dr. David Otto, DC, RN

Why I want to work with you:

With 25 years of experience in every aspect of Chiropractic from sports medicine, to pediatrics, to pregnancy, to nutrition, to wellness, to corrective care, to Medipractor care, to Personal Injury; I understand all different aspects of the Chiropractic model, yet my focus is to add value to a prominent and successful Personal Injury Chiropractic Medicine Practice.

Why you want to hire me:

After being a Chiropractic Physician for 25 years, I am transitioning to a dual HCP role as a Nurse Practitioner. Your personal injury and/or integrated medicine clinic will appreciate both my Chiropractic experience as well as my Medical background as an RN in an Intensive Care Unit. I will be an integral part of your team in a full time capacity while continuing to pursue my NP degree/license part time. Upon completion of my NP degree, I will continue in your clinic as both a Chiropractic Provider and a Medical Provider.

The reason you will want to hire me for your local Chiropractic/Integrated Medical Clinic in Jacksonville Florida is, quite frankly, because of my extensive experience in Personal Injury Chiropractic Care. As a long-time resident of Jacksonville, I owned and ran a successful Chiropractic and Functional Medicine Clinic, as well as having the diversity of years of experience as a Cover Physician having worked in over 40 clinics in Florida and Georgia.

Value I add to your clinic:

Become a valuable asset to your team by:

1. Maintaining your current PVA and business payables 2. Over a short period of time, increasing your PVA by good patient report and increased patient compliance a.

Collaborate with your MD’s, DO’s, PA’s, NP’s and other Medical connections within the Personal Injury model, and as an RN = a Medical professional well versed in Medical relationships. Dr. David J.
