Chiropractor plagiarized my forms and I don't like it

I work as an independent contractor for a chiropractor, I am building up my practice out of their office and I am working my butt off to have a full time practice by next year. 

The chiropractor recently she hired a 2nd therapist to cover a groupon promotion her clinic put out.

The issue I have is that the chiropractor took my client intake form, my policy form, my soap chart, and my invoice form (all of which I drafted myself and with my practice and the clients I serve in mind) and covered my logo on all these forms with her chiropractic logo and gave it to the new independent contractor she hired to use.

I'm going to bring these issues up with the chiropractor and express how I found it to be unprofessional, but I am curious what you all think and what you would do?

    I have some time to consider whether this is something worth pushing and I do feel it needs to be addressed. I do have a great relationship with the doctor, and aside from out friendship outside of the office, I still expected a higher level of professionalism. I mean, if you find yourself cover someone's logo with your own and that someone works in your office, it should be a clear indicator that you're probably doing something you shouldn't. I guess I'm more shocked that this thought didn't even seem to occur to the doctor, the new therapist has been working there for over a month and nothing was said to me about the forms. I am going to approach the conversation with a perspective that gives the doctor the benefit of the doubt, but I do want her to know that I don't agree with the way this about the way this all came about.

    Do you have a good relationship with the chiropractor? I would approach the situation giving them the benefit of the doubt as to their intentions. They might have been in a time crunch to bring the new person on board and didn't take the time to talk with. Perhaps you could say something like "I am glad you liked the forms and were able to utilize them, maybe the office could have them professionally printed." Consider whether this is an issue that is worth pushing. Good luck!

    Having a good chiropractic Lowry help is really important for my work. I sit all day and sometimes experience back pains and developing bad posture. Chiropractors are god sent to me. Thank you.

    Well just forget about it. Focus on your clients. That’s what really counts.
