Neurosurgery Testimonials

"She was an excellent lecturer and had a wealth of knowledge."

Eldan Eichbaum
North Bay Neurological Associates, Santa Rosa, CA

You are a very talented teacher & your knowledge of what we do in neurosurgery makes you superbly effective in educating neurosurgeons about practice & coding issues! It was great to have you. Everyone said it was an excellent program, we look forward to having you back. You're terrific!"

Clarence B. Watridge, MD, FACS
Semmes-Murphey Neurologic & Spine Institute, Memphis, TN

"Thanks very much for your excellent review of our Department's compliance issues with regard to coding and billing matters. As usual, it was very helpful, and I would appreciate your starting to think about next year's annual review, and to coordinate that with us.

Thanks very much in advance, I appreciate your hard work and effort."

Mitchel S. Berger, MD, Chairman
University of California-San Francisco
Department of Neurological Surgery

"On behalf of Mayfield Clinic, I would like to thank you for an outstanding coding course. Everyone gave rave reviews and felt that it was time well spent (even though they could have been golfing!).

I look forward to seeing you at the AANS meeting."

Best wishes, Ron Warnick, MD
Chairman of the Board, Mayfield Clinic

"Thanks so much for a great class. Physicians and management were very pleased with our course. You do a wonderful job presenting the material and fielding all our questions. I think the physicians are now re-energized on coding and documentation, which will make our coders' jobs a bit easier."

Jene Skelly
Coding and Compliance Specialist
Mayfield Clinic

"Thank you so much for such a wonderful workshop. The feedback has been extremely positive and I think everyone came away very enlightened about the importance of the coding piece and how to use it. Many attendees commented on what a great speaker you are, as well as your expertise in neurosurgery coding and reimbursement. I'm not at all surprised. Lynneann and I have the utmost respect and admiration for you, we have always been grateful for the training and consultations you've provided through the years.

The Department truly benefited from the time you spent with us, we hope to begin bringing you in annually."

Deb Messinger
Brigham & Women's Neurosurgery

"I just wanted to thank you for the comprehensive review you did for our practice. Mary Lynn and I had a chance to look through things, and what you are telling them they need to improve on is all stuff Mary Lynn and I have told them at one point or another. We think that they will listen because an outside source is telling them this time. Also wanted to let you know that Dr. Dalton and Dr. Loesch gave the OK for me to enroll in the independent study course that you recommended, through the AAPC, so that I can become a certified coder! I love to go to courses and loved college so I am really looking forward to becoming certified and to expand my knowledge of coding. I think that I have the perfect job, I get paid to argue with insurance companies and to collect more money for the doctors! I know that this will help me tremendously with what I do.

Thank you for your help."
