What Our Customers Say

I have been receiving a lot of support from the MEC for a total transformation in how we govern the medical staff. Most members who attended yesterday’s retreat have shared with me their desire to go all the way, to revamp our Bylaws and Rules and Regulations and bring us into the present. They are willing to follow your advice and recommendations in all aspects of governance, credentialing, peer review, etc. I am so grateful to you for helping us work through our perennial problems and giving us practical suggestions. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us, reviewing our Bylaws before you came, and telling us as it is.

“We are very thankful for your guidance and the seemingly endless ability of your company to provide qualified resources that are ready/willing/able to roll up their sleeves and help us! I don’t know where we’d be without you, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second recommending your services to others.”

VP

Multi-Campus Hospital System with Integrated Medical Groups

“I have utilized several different external peer review companies. The depth of information provided in the MDReview report far exceeded the information received in past reviews. The report was comprehensive, well organized, and clearly answered the clinical questions posed by our committee. The team is very professional, responsive and helpful.”
