Testimonials
As a surgeon having spent 20 years in private practice, I had some initial reservations about partnering with Albaron Vascular. I was worried that the transition would be stressful for myself ,and more importantly, chaotic and difficult for my patients. Despite my concerns, I am happy to report that Albaron sincerely addressed my concerns and helped me at every stage of the process to make the transition as smooth as possible.
Before I was introduced to Albaron Vascular, I operated a successful solo practice largely by myself. However, this success came at a heavy price. I was forced to insert myself into every aspect of the business, performing lengthy tasks ranging from day-to-day operations to hiring and bookkeeping. Since partnering with Albaron, I now have the time to appreciate why I wanted to be a surgeon in the first place, to help my patients to the best of my ability.
In the early stages of our communication, I was concerned that by partnering with Albaron Vascular, I would be handing over my practice to a corporation whose primary concern would be profit. After meeting with the leadership at Albaron, all my concerns were instantly quashed. Albaron not only listened and addressed all my questions and apprehensions, but more importantly took action to make the transition as seamless as possible. Today, I feel more empowered than ever with the ability to manage my practice as I see fit, while receiving indispensable management tools and administrative support from Albaron.
In the past, I was constantly bombarded by the rapidly evolving healthcare industry. I was spending an untold amount of hours training, purchasing new computers and software, hiring consultants, and keeping myself and my staff up-to-date on compliance regulations. Thanks to Albaron Vascular, I can now stay ahead of the curve and spend less of my time worried about administrative tasks.
With the help of Albaron Vascular, the stress emanating from the day-to-day management and operations of my center has reduced drastically. In the past, I had to concern myself with marketing, training, and basic upkeep, on top of my responsibilities as a vascular surgeon. With Albaron’s help, I can now focus on what matters most to me: the patients. Not only am I able to see more patients, I can also tailor my schedule to suit my needs week-to-week, allowing me a healthier work-life balance.
Albaron has provided exceptional career growth opportunities for myself and my staff. Beginning as a small practice, we have now been provided the support and the opportunity to grow exponentially. Albaron Vascular has offered my staff a diverse range of comprehensive training opportunities, allowing my employees to empower themselves, diversify their skill sets, and ultimately help our business grow and improve as a team.
In the competitive healthcare market, Albaron Vascular has helped me to develop and manage my team by providing me with essential management tools, such as integrated IT support and in-depth marketing analytics. These support systems help me optimize every aspect of my business practice
