SOS Onsite Consultations and Interactive Staff Meetings:
 

At the end of Lynn's visit to to our practice as a consultant for 3 days, I was impressed and glad that I made that decision. The day that she spent lecturing to out staff was amazing. Our staff was reinvigorated and motivated as well as grateful for the opportunity to learn more about how to do an optimal job. I have never met as dynamic and passionate speaker as Lynn.

Most importantly, is was what I did not realize.  Unlike other consultants who come in, tell you all of your problems and disappear,  Lynn remains available and provides ongoing management follow up and guidance in the form of monthly meetings with my office manager and billing staff. She diagnoses your problems and then sticks with you for the long haul, assisting your staff in following through with her recommendations.

That was the practice management assistance that I have always been looking and hoping for. My staff loves and more importantly, respects Lynn. They look forward to the monthly phone meetings and I look forward to the monthly reports Lynn sends me.  I cannot stress the importance of an outside consultant. I only wish that I had had called her sooner.

I have been a longstanding member of the AAPPM and was first introduced to Lynn after hearing constant accolades about her ability to transform practices.  We hired her as a consultant to see if she could remedy some challenging operational issues we were experiencing. She nailed the issues immediately and has been a constant inspiration to our staff.

It has been a tremendous pleasure to have Lynn Homisak share her years of expertise with our staff.  I would recommend her to anyone who needs anything from a simple "lift" to a "major overhaul"  She has a pleasant manner and is one of the nicest truly genuine people you will ever meet. She really made us feel like she wanted us to succeed in every regard.  A+ all the way! Thank you Lynn Homisak!

Lynn Homisak with SOS visited our office Oct. of 2010, to help our office with several issues we had been struggling with over the past few years without resolve. She really knew how to relate to my staff of nine on an individual basis and see the forest through the trees. Lynn's expertise was amazing to me at how she could analyze the problems we had and come up with practical solutions. She gave our office new vision and a game plan for the next several years. I would highly recommend Lynn and SOS for any practice that is struggling with today's health care environment. It was worth every penny we invested for her visit.

Lynn Homisak is a blessing to the podiatric profession. Throughout the years, I have attended APPM meetings listening to Lynn's enthusiastic lectures last year, Lynn performed an onsite consultation in our office. Although we have an established practice we wanted to improve on efficiency and staff management. Her initial recommendations were excellent and her final presentation was thorough, with practical suggestions. I highly recommend an onsite office consultation with Lynn Homisak for increased productivity and revenue.

I have had the pleasure of working with Lynn for the past several months to facilitate the improvement of my 25+ year old practice. I was constantly amazed as to her acumen in dealing with both technical as well as personnel issues to improve my office staff on a professional as well as personal level. I have no doubt the fee for her service was the best value I have ever received. Please feeel free to contact me with any specific questions or concerns you may have.

" Lynn Homisak has been an inspiration and a wealth of insight into the re-workings of our clinic structure. Through Lynn's vast experience in the field of Podiatry office management we have been able to re-organize our whole operation. As practitioners in a very busy clinic; we have been able to implement a new, more efficient and more flexible schedule. We can now accommodate more patients, more efficiently and are increasing our bottom line as we speak. We have learned the value of using practitioner time more wisely and delegating tasks to well trained staff members. We are now working on a comprehensive office and employee manual which has already begun to improve our team member relations and accelerate staff productivity. Thank-you Lynn for such valued insight and expertise."

Lynn Homisak is the guru of practice management! Her 38+ years of experience combined with a positive, "can-do" attitude make her a true asset to any podiatric practice. She will evaluate both the staff and doctors in a non-threatening manner, and then help to instigate practice management changes that benefit all. She is the best money I've ever spent toward practice management. Do yourself and your employees a huge favor, and bring Lynn in to assist you in turning your practice into a positive, efficient and productive environment.

When my practice began to decline three years ago, I took action and began a recovery with the tutelage of Lynn Homisak. Lynn has phenomenal expertise in handling all aspects of a successful practice. She also knows how some limiting beliefs and tunnel-vision can sabotage a practice. She is extremely conscientious, goal oriented, never pushy, and is always on task. I think of her as my office Guardian Angel. If you want to take your practice to the next higher level, Lynn Homisak is "The Bomb."

Dear Lynn, Thank you for your help with my practice last year. I appreciate your hard work and would like to say that your experience has helped me help my practice. I find it hard to manage from the treatment room. By utilizing your services to help me determine what improvements I can make in the practice, I could continue to see the large volume of patients that I do but make the necessary changes to take the practice to the next level. Your report if something I reference often and carry with me all the time. Thank you again,

As a senior practicing podiatrist and a fellow of the AAPPM, I would like to highly recommend Lynn Homisak, PRT of SOS Healthcare Management Solutions as a practice management source for new as well as established practitioners. Thanks to Lynn's vast knowledge and experience in our profession, [with over 30 years as office manager in busy podiatric practices to her being on the Board of the American Academy of Podiatric Practice Management] she has a distinct understanding of the nuances of our specialty.

She with her colleagues spent a week in my office and more than paid for their fee after one month. Because of her practice analysis, I was able to implement the EMR, diagnostic technology and employee performance reviews that made a real difference in my practice.

In today's reality of "mismanaged care", it behooves each of us to become more cost efficient and seamless. SOS Healthcare Management Solutions intimately understands our profession and has made a real difference in my practice.

I would highly recommend Lynn's services to any podiatric practice who would like to have honest and thorough feedback concerning all areas of practice management in regards to the internal functions of the staff, patient flow, policies and procedures, etc. She is extremely dedicated, highly experienced and very adept to determining any issues or problems that many offices have (no matter how successful your practice is.) Her in depth report was extremely helpful and well worth the expense. Thanks!!!

Lynn has helped us get our office on track and has added a level of professionalism and accountability that is unprecedented.Prior to bi-weekly [Interactive Staff] meetings with Lynn, our A/R was out of control. I felt overwhelmed and had no idea where to begin. Thanks to Lynn,we have a new direction and are all working as a team to improve A/R,collectibles and office efficiency. The entire staff now come to work with positive attitudes and enjoy working toward a common goal.

SOS Workshops

 

Our staff came back from your seminar so pumped up -- one of the girls called me at 8am the next day (Saturday!) wanting to talk about some things she wanted to implement right away! Thanks so much for the great information.
Marilee Silvester, Silvester Foot Clinic

It is a long day, but I feel I could have sat through 3 days of this! I feel inspired to head back to the office, armed with my workshop book and make some changes. We have a fantastic practice, but there is always room for improvement and now we can do it! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Courtney Dolan, Director of First Impressions

Lynn, I just wanted to say thanks for everything. I want you to know that you impact Professional Foot & Ankle on a daily basis. Whenever I find myself slipping into a bad habit, I ask myself, "what would Lynn say or recommend to change this to a positive." You are powerful and awesome. Thanks!

My staff and I traveled all the way from California to attend your Fort Lauderdale Workshop and here's what I feel were the highlights of the program:
1. The information was very encompassing
2. The delivery, especially the exchange of ideas, kept things interesting and compelling the whole time
3. The handouts and Power points helped to improve retention of the material.

The improvements in my staff's attitude and attention to detail have been noticeable since we got back form Florida. My own attitude has improved - I am much more clear in my requests of both patients and staff. Meetings are easier. Paperwork gets done well, not just "done". Thanks again, Lynn. I hope your business thrives, since you offer such great instruction.

I cannot even imagine a better workshop [Houston]. It was so packed with information and lots of fun. Lynn makes you feel totally relaxed and is receptive to all questions. I am so much better informed for having attended. I came away so inspired and can't wait to get back to the office and implement what I've learned.
Debbie Harader, Office Manager, Texas Foot Consultants
Houston, TX

The information was greatly appreciated and I hope to implement this into my practice to improve communication and work flow. I think that the staff interaction and just how to treat one another was fantastic. Lynn was a dynamic speaker; the content was great and the day informative [Oak Brook Workshop] was worth it!

Best workshop [Oak Brook, IL] I've ever been to! I learned a lot that will help make my job a lot easier and make the office run a lot better. It really was worth being there for 9 hours!

Lynn, your Boston Workshop was not too long at all! There were lots of great ideas and information - it was fast-paced and awesome! Kept my attention and made me optimistic to keep working hard. After attending numerous other meetings, lectures, conferences, I would highly recommend this one to others. I would also suggest t hat my DPM come to another lecture. Great job!
Cindy Pezza, PMAC
Stoughton, MA

I especially found this presentation informational, especially since just finishing my residency. There were many ideas and great examples presented here that I never thought of and were not exposed to. This class was well-organized, relevant and fun! I feel it would have been even better if it was longer.
Don Pelto, DPM

I thought everything was so wonderful. You involved everyone and have made a positive impact on my Podiatry Career! Thank you!

Even if you don't want to go into podiatry, Lynn's workshop should be a must for all medical assistants. The small group setting was great for networking. You felt comfortable talking with other attendees about their offices and experiences.
