Specialdocs Founder Roberta Greenspan Recognized as an Industry-Leading Woman in Concierge Medicine
HIGHLAND PARK, Ill., Dec. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Concierge Medicine Today has named Specialdocs Consultants, Inc. founder and CEO Roberta Greenspan to its 2014 list of "Industry Leading Women."
"These professionals serve at nearly every leading business or medical practice in this marketplace," says Michael Tetreault, Editor-In-Chief of Concierge Medicine Today (CMT) the foremost trade publication for the concierge medicine industry. "Their contributions to this industry are seen and heard every day. The rapid advance of women in the business world and in healthcare is growing, and female-run companies are setting a high standard of care, particularly in concierge medicine."
Roberta Greenspan, who founded Specialdocs 12 years ago to assist physicians in transitioning from traditional medical practices to independent, personalized, concierge models, stated: "I am honored to be recognized for my contributions to this industry. The concept of concierge medicine, which was still in its infancy in 2002, resonated strongly with me. Specialdocs was my vision for allowing physicians to return to the practice of medicine the way they always believed it should be practiced and to take back control of their professional lives."
The CMT list recognizes several successful professional women in the business of concierge medicine and healthcare delivery, most of whom operate in a CEO or management role and serve in an advisory or leadership capacity for their peers and others.
"When we analyzed the 'short list,' we noted that nearly every woman selected has a pivotal role at almost every single successful concierge practice. That really says something when the industry's best and longest-standing businesses are in play and thriving today with women in leadership positions," says Tetreault. "We have recognized the cream of the crop."
A healthcare executive with more than 40 years of experience in hospital and private practice settings, Greenspan has developed a deep understanding of the emerging constraints in the healthcare industry and the continued depersonalization of medicine. "I felt strongly at the time I founded Specialdocs, and even more strongly today, that physicians are not 'providers' and patients are not 'consumers.' That will never occur in concierge medicine, which gives physicians quality time to develop the strong relationships with patients that are at the heart of the best medicine."
Since 2002, Specialdocs has successfully converted more than 100 medical practices in over 30 states, growing mainly through satisfied physician-client referrals. Greenspan believes her company's emphasis on maintaining their physicians' autonomy and building their brand, is key.
"It's not our name you'll see up in lights," says Greenspan, "but that of our physicians, who have spent a lifetime building their practices."
