Vision Quest – The Administrative Advantage™ Buying Group

Vision Quest has been a member of Advantage Administration’s MSO buying group for one year and we’ve taken advantage of the program for many purchases throughout the practice and ambulatory surgery center.

Rocky Kelley, Practice Administrator

I have been working with Joe Carroll with Advantage Administration for over two years, and our practice joined his MSO in January 2018. For the first half of 2018, we have realized reduced expenses for our legal, accounting, medical/surgical/office supplies, and capital equipment. We have incorporated a BOOMERANG™ patient retention program with Opticall, which has […]

Jeff Hutchison, DO

I am pleased to offer this word of thanks and commendation for Joe Carroll and the Team at Advantage Administration.  I came to Joe in need of a true practice “remodel”.  Like many in solo practice, inertia had allowed our systems and staff to grow stale and ineffective from an administrative standpoint.  I needed not […]

M. Lillis Marzullo, HR Director

It is with extreme pleasure that I provide a letter of reference for Byrd Evans. Our practice began its conversion to EMR in 2013, quite an undertaking, particularly in a practice of our size.

Mark J. Piotrowski, M.D.

To Whom It May Concern: We quickly learned the benefit of having an outsider to come into the practice every +/- three or so years to evaluate overall efficiency.

Re: Advantage Administration, Inc. Dear Mr. Carroll: I would like to personally thank you for helping the Florida Eye Institute when our practice was in a state of turmoil.

John D. Sheppard, M.D., M.M.Sc.

Dear Joe, Ten months have passed since Advantage Administration passed the baton to our own rejuvenated in-house management team.

James Vander, M.D.

Richard E. Mills, D.O.

Eight years ago my Ophthalmology practice was facing problems in the areas of management and finances. I had a busy, growing practice, but sometimes was unable to pay myself.

Glenn A. Meltzer, M.D.

I would highly recommend the Advantage Administration, Inc. team. When my Administrator of 11 years moved on, I was struggling to learn the ropes of running my practice again. I was overwhelmed with HIPPA, OSHA, no adequate employee manual, no job descriptions, and local surgery center changes. I lacked the ability to assess the status […]

Lin Brister, M.D.

Dear Joe, This is a belated thank you for all Advantage Administration has done for our practice over the past three years. When I met you in Chicago at the Academy, in 2005 I believe, I was impressed with your down to earth approach and positive attitude that our practice could be helped. Anyway, your […]
