      I would recommend VGF to others–in fact I’ve utilized VGF’s services twice over a 12 yr span–once for my private practice and once for my startup.

      What do you like the most working with us? The availability of having “on demand” executive assistance with an expertise in health care operations. I appreciated having an assistant assigned to me and also an assigned backup.  It’s great to have tasks just “taken care of” without having to micromanage them!

      The team has been absolutely amazing, life changers for me personally. And I think my team has adjusted really well. Our practice is benefiting- I can totally tell calls are not going to voicemail and we’re getting lots of intakes scheduled and completed. It’s freed up our time so much to be able to focus on growth, networking, and all the billing stuff.
      Thank you all so much.

      Owner, WM Counseling

      Just wanted to let you both know what a wonderful fit Janine as been with our practice. I have had several providers come to me and tell me how “responsive” Janine has been. Patients have also commented on how “pleasant” and “helpful” she was to talk to. I, personally, have nothing but great things to say well. It is nice to know that I can walk away for a couple of hours and things will continue to get done.
      Thank you Janine!
