Alan DeCorte
Director of Consulting Services

While it may be obvious to healthcare professionals that advanced technology, modern facilities and highly qualified, caring providers contribute to quality healthcare; it’s not always so obvious to their patients. Those who are ill or injured only want to get well. They also want what their doctor wants…a favorable outcome. Therefore, it is important that doctors continually reinforce to patients the correlation between technology, facilities and training with favorable outcomes, which in turn translates to quality care.

In Alan DeCorte’s 25 plus years as an ophthalmic practice manager and consultant, he has helped many practices refine their quality images and their marketing communications programs.
