" Jim and I worked together to find the right hospital to buy for several years before I finally found the right one. Despite having experience in business previously I relied heavily on Jim’s advise and analysis of the various hospitals, which kept me from making some very expensive mistakes – and helped me to look at practices in ways I would not have thought of by myself. In the negotiation process Jim was instrumental in coming to an understanding, where both the seller and myself were able to feel we had come to an equitable agreement. Jim’s expertise and experience continues to be of great benefit to our practice, and I wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone. "
