Every time we finish a call/meeting with Avanza staff, we remark on how well prepared they were and how productive the meeting was. Joan is so knowledgeable about the industry and is an excellent communicator Every team member we've met at Avanza has been very high caliber. We love the flexibility Avanza offers and the ability to get help with as much or little as we need.

We were so impressed with the collaborative relationships Joan and her team built that we followed this initial engagement with a second engagement for an operational assessment.

Joan’s no-nonsense approach and excellent business sense helped us weed through the complex details that often confound hospital executives. More important than her subject matter expertise is her ability to connect with physicians, with whom she is quick to build credibility through her direct, instructive, yet personable style.

Avanza walked into a very sensitive situation and earned the trust of the hospital administration and physician investors very quickly. They are very well connected within the industry, which is a benefit to their clients. They are also very direct and open in their communication style, which I appreciate.

We have been through a lot of consultants and it is refreshing to finally have one that comes up with an imaginative solution!
