Why Hire Us
Our goal is for our consultation fee to pay for itself within one year after consultation. This has been achieved in the vast majority of client consultations. Additional benefits include: reduction of partner conflicts, increased staff morale, greater productivity of physicians and staff, increased gross and net income, greater patient and referral satisfaction and a more pleasant work environment. Fees are based on either a flat fee or hourly basis and where possible, a minimum and maximum fee is quoted. For local consultations, a complimentary meeting is arranged to discuss credentials and to acquaint the physicians with the consultant.
