Client Testimonials
My hospitals department of anesthesiology was falling apart due to stresses of the operating room.We lost a number of doctors and I feared losing my CRNAs because of our issues. Jerry personally assisted me to bring stability to the anesthesiology program and his team improved OR efficiencies and general operations so that now we're able to recruit and retain highly skilled anesthesia staff.
CEO - major Mid-Atlantic healthcare system- The consulting team assisted our surgeons to realize that they must be part of developing solutions, not simply to expect administration to provide them a perfect world.
Now our surgeons and anesthesiologists are actively engaged, police themselves and have a higher level of satisfaction with our ORs being much more efficient.
Surgeon and OR Committee Chair - major Northeastern medical center - The hospital CEO and the dean made it my responsibility to fix the OR without holding any other parties accountable.
Our anesthesiology program was greatly in deficit due to the staffing costs associated with a terribly inefficient OR. I was losing faculty and could not recruit to our program due to the imbalance of work-load and compensation package. Jerry brought facts and education. He assisted in mediating our relationships and educated us on how to move forward. The assistance Jerry provided me and my program assisted me not only to improve our present situation and be successful in my position but also to move on in my own career.
Department of Anesthesiology Chair - then serving at a mid-Atlantic University program having moved on to Department Chair at a prestigious Southwestern University. - I moved to another CEO position and didn’t realize the disrepair our OR program was in until after I started.
I lost the contact information and spent hours tracking them down after nearly ten years. They were there for me and assisted me through another difficult situation.

Surgeon and OR Committee Chair - major Northeastern medical center - Jerry, the services and education you provided my department and administration proved to be invaluable in resolving differences and developing solutions.
Before we started the engagement I thought my anesthesiology department was going to implode; you spread oil on troubled waters.
Highly published Chair of Anesthesiology - Midwestern University Hospital System - Our surgeons wanted to develop their own ASC until Ippolito and his team showed us that a community hospital OR can be as efficient as a surgery center.
Surgeon satisfaction improved and the surgeons continued to support the hospital.
