Client Testimonial
I switched over to your company awhile back due to having problems with another company that I was using for my in home INR patients.
I am a nurse in a very busy Internal medicine practice in Newburyport MA.
What a great move I made. It has been so easy to deal with your company. If I have an issue I send off an email and get answered very shortly after.
I asked for a machine to keep in my office to use in emergency situations, it was sent to me no problem.
I was having an issue with not getting the faxes with some patients and spoke with your company and it was taken care of quickly. We now have a safe guard in place to make sure I get ALL reports. They are sent to me by fax AND by email. This is working out GREAT. Patients are very happy with the company as well.
I can not say enough about your company. It is Very efficient, professional and is in constant communication with me. Dealing with INR 's can be stressful at times. I have quite a few, you have taken a lot of the worry I have about my patients and their monitoring away.
Thank YOU so very much.Maureen Valentine LPN
