Testimonials

"I am absolutely thrilled with how great everything turned out.  Thank you so much for your hard work and patience with this project – I just couldn’t be happier with the outcome!"

– Miona Gordon, President - Southern Behavioral Services

We are proud of the success you have generated, and will keep on utilizing your resources in all our marketing efforts.

We have had a good response (from the radio campaign). We are really pleased with how quickly it has taken off. Our new name is really easy to remember and the script appeals to Canberrans. We have been told that they hear the ad and go straight to the website, which is another powerful marketing statement (ie if it were an ordinary site, it may be a downer, but being a strong site, it just spurs them on to call).
Feedback so far is “heard your ad, it was classy, professional and memorable”. That is what you want from an ad! I think also the voice matters – she is not a typical “radio” voice and it all gels together to make a great ad. So thanks again for your great work!

Other news – we have been approached by another cosmetic physician who has heard of Vlad’s increasing reputation and wishes to refer patients to him, as did the CEO of the largest laser clinic in Canberra. They had heard happy comments from their patients/clients and we were told by the CEO of a private hospital here that “Vlad is taking Canberra by storm”. Other specialists have been impressed with our subtle yet punchy marketing campaign, and there have been quite a few comments stating that the website is professional and really fantastic. Since adding the patient education section, we noticed that patients were more likely to stay on the site and call us. So that is great too.

– Sonja Minic, Practice Business Manager - Integrity Plastic Surgery

"I knew I wanted Healthcare Success Strategies to develop my new brochure, but frankly was unconvinced we could EVER get new patients from the web. After all, our old website had done nothing and we offer highly specialized neuropsychological testing. But Stewart was persistent and the website his team created has been a terrific source of new patients. The brochure turned out great too. I couldn't be more pleased with Healthcare Success Strategies, and in fact, I am working with them on a new project now."

– Dr. Christina Blodgett-Dycus, Founder - Thomson Memory Center

Thanks for the excellent two day program. You work as an great team-both of you with different strengths and areas of focus. You opened my eyes to another way of looking at my dental practice.

– Bob Sanker

Perspicacious, bright, intuitive..effective! These are the words that describe Stewart Gandolf! A wonderful consultant both in personality and in deed! I could not give him a higher recommendation.

In short, I do not want to mince words..he will get the job done IF you follow the plan AND you will recover your ROI if you AGREE and fully adopt and execute! Do not participate in certain aspects UNLESS you believe..if you do it will work in abundance! His group has the experience AND the expertise!

SO what are you waiting for..today is your day..so get on your way!!

– Randy M. Feldman, DDS,MS,ABO - Feldman Orthodontics

I thought it was excellent information, presented in a very professional manner. Unlike alot of the other healthcare marketing seminars out there, this seminar was composed of data that is current and not out dated theory. Stewart and Lonnie are clearly two very qualified people. Also, I normally pass out about an hour or two into these things, but I never found one boring or irrelevant moment. Stewart and Lonnie gave alot of practical information which can be easily applied. I have already started implementing what we discussed over the weekend.

Also, I have to say that the one-on-one meetings were well done. Again, I have had experience with good seminars and bad ones. The bad ones are the panacea for all ills, and no matter what problem you had, you were a fit for them. Then the high pressure sales start. I got none of that with Stewart. What I got was that my business was not some cookie cutter thing, and I felt that he really was analyzing what he can do for us. Never felt any of the sleazeball sales tactics/B.S. that unfortunately accompany so many of these weekend seminars.

– M.A. - CEO of a 5 location practice

Lonnie and Stewart have created something very special and I think it's the "steal of the Century" for the price. I would have gladly paid 10 times more for the information. If you're shopping around for the best marketing programs out there to help your business, you can stop
now. You found it.

I am sure that you are reading our monthly column "Dental Marketing That Works" by Stewart Gandolf and Lonnie Hirsch.  They always amaze me by the new material that they come up with every month.  All of their programs are tried and true.

– Dr. Joe Blaes, Editor, Dental Economics

Lonnie has worked with my Orthopedic/Sports Medicine practice for the past 2 years. His ideas have helped advance my company greatly. Our marketing materials have been universally praised as very professional and impressive. Lonnie is very down to earth, easy to talk to and makes a habit of always being available.

– Marc Pietropaoli, MD

"your two day seminar was eye opening. It caused me to take a critical look at my practice and how it is viewed by potential patients"

– Dr. Louis DeSantis

Mr. Hirsch's work doubled - yes DOUBLED - my dental practice in only 6 months! This is even more amazing when you consider that we already had a practice grossing three-quarters of a million dollars annually before we met Lonnie. This increase has been sustainable for over 15 years. We're thrilled!

– Charles Tozzer, DDS

Stewart has been instrumental to our ongoing success. He is extremely savvy to what works in the world of professional referrals, and his advice has been invaluable.

– Dwijen Misra, MD

Stewart is a dental marketing expert who is smart, energetic, business-savvy and creative. He thinks fast, moves fast, and gets results fast (talks fast too, but I like that). He helped me with my private practice a number of years ago, and now we are now working together on a bigger, even more exciting project. I recommend him highly.

– Bob Hepps, DDS

Thanks to Lonnie, I have been able to cut all dependence on third party reimbursements in my practice. Now I have a 100% fee-based practice in cosmetic surgery, which was my goal when we first met. We achieved that goal within the first year of implementing Lonnie's marketing approach. His results-based strategies have enabled me to achieve marketing success that fit my personality and image. I recommend him without reservation.

– Vasdev Rai, MD

I truly enjoy receiving the Healthcare Success Marketing Advisor newsletter. It is filled with appropriate topics that are relevant to today’s economy.The newsletter does not fall short of information; it includes details that can be applied
immediately. I open and read almost every single one that I get.  If I don’t have time, I save them for later.
 
– Sandra L Clark, Marketing Director, Radiology Associates of Hartford, PC

Stewart showed me how to look at marketing in a completely new way. As a result we doubled our practice in just 9 months, and since then we have never looked back.

– Paul Mitch, DMD

Lonnie Hirsch is a top marketing consultant. I consider him the best of the best. His expertise has helped us meet and exceed our goals for more than a decade.

– Daniel E. Andrews, III, MD

Stewart and his ideas took us from near zero to over a million dollars production in our very first year.

– Robert Bentz, DMD

Stewart is a gifted speaker and incredibly insightful. The changes we made as a result of listening to him have doubled our profits.

– Vaun De Jong, MD

Lonnie has the uncanny ability to zero in on key problems in a practice and develop solutions that are perfectly suited to his client. What makes him truly unique in the consulting world, however, is his honesty. Where other consultants may tell you what you want to hear, Lonnie's ethics are above reproach. You may not always be comfortable with what he tells you, but you'll know he's right on target and pointing out the truth that no one else could or would tell you.

– Wendy Lipton-Dibner, M.A.

Stewart has had a relationship with our practice for many years. Most importantly, the changes we implemented to our practice allowed us to launch a worldwide charity, and as a result, the eyesight of many thousands of people has been saved.

– Ifeoma Ezekwo, MD

Stewart's ideas helped my wife and I me build thriving practices in one of the most competitive marketplaces for plastic surgery in the entire country. Thank you Stewart.

– Brian Hass, MD

I have had the rare chance to work both with Lonnie and Stewart. Both were an absolute pleasure to work with, and both helped me grow our practice by leaps and bounds.

– Gene Sloan, MD

Stewart helped develop a new brand identity, marketing materials and strategies for a new practice we were opening in an untapped market. His initial efforts continue to help us to win our market share, as competition has now developed around us. His strength in understanding the healthcare environment made it easier to work along with him than choosing an agency without that knowledge.

– Lou Ann Nettekoven, Green Bay Eye Clinic

Stewart is one of the most energetic, entrepreneurial spirits I have ever met. He helped me to attract the new clients that I wanted, many of whom I still work with today. Nowadays my clients now come only from referrals, which is a huge change that I love.

– Michael Klobas, EA, CFP

"I was attracted to Healthcare Success Strategies because I wanted ethical, upscale marketing. I couldn't be more pleased with my consultants, the 2-day meeting, my marketing plan and the marketing materials they created for me. On top of that, they were terrific to deal with every step of the way."

– Heather Strencoscky, DC

I like the way you ethically attack marketing, because marketing isn't always considered appropriate in the medical profession. Your ideas are very ethical and backed by strong demographics and statistics. I'm looking forward to working with you one-on-one to develop a unique marketing plan for our office. We'll be contacting you soon!

– Mindy Tillotson, Office Manager for Dr. Gregory Barclay

I found the marketing CD set very useful. The CDs were entertaining and easy to listen to. They were well organized, had a good flow, and took a complex subject and made it easy to understand, using real world examples. I enjoyed hearing different subjects addressed by the 2 experts. I learned a lot from them about what doesn't work, as well as what does, backed up by data they shared. I found the internet marketing CD particularly timely, as we are just setting up our website. The set as a whole had many practical suggestions that we can use in our day-to-day practice, and improved our understanding of marketing techniques. This knowledge will save us time and help us to avoid marketing mistakes, saving us money as well. I have also had my staff listen to the CDs, so that we are all on the same page, and all participating in our marketing plan. I would highly recommend them to professionals interested in getting started marketing their practices.

– Jacqueline C. Castagno, MD, Specialty Gynecology, PC, Dunwoody, Georgia

Before I purchased the CDs, I thought marketing a medical practice was unprofessional. After listening to the CDs, I realized that Lonnie and Stewart's methods and strategies offered professional solutions to marketing which I was not hesitant to implement. Implementation of these strategies were very well received by both patients and colleagues. My use of these strategies has resulted in a very positive impact on my practice.

– Brien Dugas, MD, Whakefield, RI

On a scale of 1 to 10, your Chicago Seminar was a true 10. We believe that
Healthcare Success Strategies can definitely help our practice grow and
prosper.

– Robin Good, Director of Marketing, Plastic Surgery Center, PC   South Bend, IN

The Chicago seminar was amazing! Great ideas from A to Z. I would
love more of our office staff to be able to attend. As you noted....each individual is a representative and marketing avenue for the practice. We hope to work with you more in the future.
