Locum Tenens Testimonials

╳ Dr. Robert B.

Emergency Room Physician

“Locum tenens is a great way to go look at a different location than you’re used to, and see if you like it. It also gives you control of your schedule. There have been places that I’ve liked, they’ve liked me, and I was able to work locums for as long as 18 months. As for my recruiter, it’s hard to judge people over the phone, but I got the sense that [Noah] was a good guy, a straight-shooter and that he would answer any questions I had. He knows the job. He knows the business. And he treats me like a real person. Staff Care has its act together. When it comes to getting my travel arranged - whether it’s booking my hotel, car rental, or arranging flight times - I do have to say you guys have made it very easy for me to do this type of work.”

Physician Recruitment and Retention Specialist

“Staff Care focuses on our needs. They listen.

I’m the only recruiter, so I need people to respond fast. Staff Care responds quickly, which is so critical to keep the process going. We’ve been able to book patients and clear backlogs because Staff Care takes care of all the different processes and credentialing across the three hospitals I support.

At the end of the day, our job is to provide outstanding patient care to our patients and with the help of our locums from Staff Care, we can ensure this promise to our patients.”

╳ Antoine Garnett

Senior Recruiting Consultant, Primary Care

"You've got to put your whole self into it. When you show heart and talk to physicians openly, it results in a strong professional relationship. When you successfully please one customer, that person will say good things to others about your company. It’s all about establishing relationships and bonds. I can call up doctors that I haven’t worked with in years who still remember me, which makes me feel really good.

strive to create new relationships every day and that’s what I look forward to most. All day long, I get to talk to different people with a variety of backgrounds and experiences. My conversations with physicians are always so interesting. Some of my happiest moments come from placing physicians on assignments and they return with a life-touching story to share."

Physician

"I want to particularly thank Staff Care for its general excellence in handling my locum tenens assignments and for the genuine concern with my successful performance in these assignments that was displayed by my consultant. He is a very dedicated person and a consummate professional in his field.”

╳ Lynn P.

Hospitalists Office Coordinator

“Staff Care has been helpful, courteous and knowledgeable in terms of all the paperwork that goes into credentialing and licensing. Locums hospitalists have to be credentialed at the main medical center, but there’s a great many pieces that have to be duplicated for the community hospital, so there’s a lot of things that need to be put in place.

It’s important to remember somebody’s grandmother is on the other end of this piece of paper that I need to be responsible for. That could be my brother or family member laying up there.

With Staff Care I found the team I’ve worked with to be very nice, personable, professional and approachable. It doesn’t matter the reason, their attitude is ‘You can call me at any minute, and I’ll help you with any question.’”

╳ Michael Chatham

Senior Manager of Recruiting, Anesthesia

“As cliché as it sounds, helping people is one of the main benefits that I enjoy most. Through the work that we do, people who might not have had the opportunity to receive care are getting surgeries today. There are hospitals, whether large or small, that need anesthesiologists or CRNAs there to help save lives. I consider myself more or less a talent agent. My ‘stars’ are CRNAs and anesthesiologists, and it’s my job to find options for them.

Also, just as important are the relationships that I have built over the years. I’ve worked with the same providers for 18 years — going through grandchildren being born, kids going to college, and the providers’ entire career arc up to retirement, and they were working with me the whole time. So the positive relationships I have built is certainly a key benefit.

Not only that, our division really has a family environment and I’ve really developed strong ties with every individual on the team. Seeing the people that I have influenced gain success over the years is extremely fulfilling for me.”

Physician

“Staff Care has been fabulous. They find and get me jobs that work best for me and I love where I’m at now. Everyone that I have worked with has been great. It didn’t take [Sivan] long to find me an opportunity near my hometown. I’m working as a mid-level physician now which is great because I’m not the primary physician in the ER.

The travel and lodging process is also very streamlined and organized. Elyse has been great to work with on my scheduling. She was awesome booking around my personal schedule and has a good relationship with the healthcare facility that I’m at which makes it very accommodating.

It’s been very easy and organized so I’ve enjoyed working with them. Staff Care is efficient, effective and they get the job done.”

"Staff Care is fast in answering questions and great in helping us find coverage on short notice. Coverage found was also of the highest quality and we would hire them back anytime. Great experience.”

╳ Michelle Chambers

Senior Manager of Recruiting, Behavioral Health

“I really like helping my doctors, particularly the older ones. I enjoy serving as their personal agent in finding positions that make the most sense for them. I have established some very solid relationships with many of my providers. They trust me and know I have their best interests at heart.”
