I utilize my industry experience and relationships to consult with private practice physicians to build additional sources of revenue for their clinics. As the market place is rapidly changing, many private practices need help in finding ways to increase or maintain their income streams.I locate and hire Medical Assistants to run these programs, I train these Medical Assistants, and I coordinate a seamless flow into the practice’s daily operations.Ongoing consultation with the physicians is required to make sure the programs run successfully.

When I wasn’t in the operating room working actual cases, I was hunting for new surgeons to trial Applied Medical’s products.Surgical procedures from ENT, Gynecology, Colorectal, and General Surgeons. Any surgeon that would like to perform their case laparoscopically.
