use in your practice!
How a Survey Works:
Upon engagement, you will receive a Data Request
Package in advance of the consult, which should take you or your
staff no longer than one hour to prepare. A consultant will visit
and do a "complete history and physical" on your practice, followed
within 10 days by a lengthy, detailed, written report covering over
100 category findings. You may also request a summary verbal report
at the end of the day's visit. Total consultant time spent will
typically be at least three days including at least one full day
on-site in your practice interviewing physicians and staff and examining
systems. The Survey works around your schedule and you lose no productivity!
You can also have a consult personalized to your
individual needs.

Client Quotes:
"I was finding it increasingly difficult to survive
in a medical world dominated by managed care. Under Keith's expert
guidance we revamped my office ambience, fee structures, and collections
methods. Other problem areas were identified and effective solutions
were provided. Patient tracking and recall procedures were institiuted,
along with a host of other improvements. I was introduced to the
importance of marketing. It is difficult to describe the professionalism,
attention to detail, deep understanding of issues, and sensitivities
that characterized Keith's approach. My practice is now thriving
and –amazingly– free of dependance on third party carriers.
Considering the results I got, I consider the cost quite reasonable.
I could not conceive of any other investment that would have paid
better dividends."
T.S. MD, California
"He evaluated the business practices with
ease and expertise, and the sensitive issues with care and candor.
With his insights and suggestions, what seemed to be impossible
roadblocks ro the survival of our practice, now seem to be possible
roads toward expansion and growth."
W.S., MD Virginia
"We have had several other
consultants who have been hired over the last three
years. We were often frustrated by what appeared to
be a "cookie-cutter" or single-focus approach to
ther recommendations without an ability to identify
our unique strengths and specific weaknesses. The
PMM consultant clearly articulated unique
recommendations with an excellent understanding of
our particular and distinct environment, practice
style, and our unique practice culture. His
evaluation has been the most beneficial,
professional, and most clearly presented of all the
different consultants we have worked
with""
S.L., MD, Managing Physician,
California
"His day was non-stop from the time he arrived
until he departed. It was immediately evident that he knew his business.
During the individual interviews he gained the trust of all employees
and they felt comfortable to speak freely about their concerns and
opinions. The consultant clarified problem areas and provided realistic
suggestions. He identified and spoke to some very sensitive areas.
In this he was able to be candid, but non-offensive. All aspects
of his visit were handled in a professional manner. We highly recommend
him."
DL, Medical Group Manager,
Alaska
"We are a busy oncology practice
that increased our office space, office personnel
and number of doctors in a short period of time.The
transitrion was facilitated and occurred as
efficintly as possible only with the PMM
consultant's help and expertise. He was a great
help to our office and we would use him again in a
minute."
P.E., MD, California
"The thoroughness of the plans
and strategies developed by the PMM consultant left
nothing uncovered; in fact, I have not seen the
quality of service provided by PMM equalled by any
other consulting firm. I highly recommend PMM to
any physician or hospital desiring to develop a
practice correctly...or for a practice that needs a
thorough evaluation and guidance for
re-direction."
R.T., Director of Program
Development, S.R. Hospital, California
"PMM has been helpful at many
different levels, to me personally, to my own
family practice group, and to the large
200-physician IPA of which I am President. I
recommend them highly."
T.Y., MD, California
"We learned a great deal from
you and genuinely appreciate your willingness to
share your experiences and insights with
us."
