Testimonials

I have personally been involved with recruiting potential associates for over 30 years. I have experience with many firms, and rarely do they fulfill their promises. I do realize it is much more difficult to recruit to Beaumont, Texas than Austin. That being said, we have never had as many potentially interested physicians as what we have experienced through AMSURG's Physician Recruitment program. They are thorough, compassionate, and obviously care about the recruit but also with our practice. They are readily available, even on weekends.

Joe Holland, MD
at Southeast Gastroenterology Associates, Beaumont, TX
We have worked with the AMSURG Physician Recruiting program over the last 3 years. We were facing a serious crisis, wherein a number of physician partners were approaching retirement simultaneously. With AMSURG's help and encouragement, we were able to interview a number of excellent candidates. We are now in the happy state of having signed four associates over the last two years. The practice is thriving. While providing us with excellent candidates, the AMSURG Recruiter was also extremely involved in following up with candidates and providing feedback to the group during the negotiating process. They provide a full hands on service that I would recommend to any group needing to recruit young and talented associates.

Cornelius Dooley, MD
at Northern New Mexico Gastroenterology Associates, Santa Fe, New Mexico
For a solo practice like ours, the search for a new associate represents a major change. The AMSURG Recruiting Team has been consistently responsive and helpful, particularly with having the background resources of AMSURG. I have had experiences in the past where search firms do nothing to screen an applicant (despite their representations) and simply pass along any candidate that appears. We have interviewed good and appropriate candidates; but we have also discussed some candidates that were not appropriate and we did not have to waste time and resources in interviewing non-appropriate candidates. We are still in the process of our search, but I appreciate that AMSURG has at least made this search more efficient for us.

I have found our AMSURG recruiter to be easy to work with, sensitive and understanding of our needs and to be a great liaison between an employer and a potential employee.
