"We approached preparing for a AAAHC Survey with anxiety and apprehension. After the first meeting with Derry, Nolan, and Associates our attitudes completely changed. Their feedback and constant support kept us on the timeline for preparation and the mock audit gave us the confidence needed to face the auditor with genuine smiles. We were successfully certified in what felt like the easiest audit ever. Thanks Derry, Nolan, and Associates!”

"In 2006 we asked Derry Nolan to facilitate the merger of our practice with anther practice in a nearby city. Just as this process started our financials took a nose dive and we asked them to assess our entire practice from top to bottom. They approached both tasks rapidly and efficiently and ran the practice while also assisting with the tough job of finding new management. They helped us dramatically reduce overhead while improving the quality and efficiency of patient care. It doesn't get much better than that. I would recommend Barbara, Crystal and their team to any practice that needs organizational help.”

"We brought Derry, Nolan and Associates in to provide project expertise on a challenging issue with a tight timeline. Soon after we began working together, it became clear that in order to be successful we needed a complete practice overhaul. DNA's team of professionals provided expertise in a number of crucial areas including patient flow, billing, clinical redesign and restructuring. A need for real administrative leadership was necessary and they filled that role superbly. We knew the importance of continuous improvement, and re-engineering the practice but Derry, Nolan and Associates executed and made it happen rapidly and effectively.”

"I have been professionally acquainted with the principals of Derry, Nolan for more than twenty years. Barbara Derry spearheaded the inception, design, and complete execution of a multimillion dollar Plastic, Reconstructive, and Cosmetic Surgery office, complete with two fully accredited operating rooms from beginning to end. She also led the equally important task of creating a corporate brand and practice identity, with accompanying production of business logo, papers, brochures, website, and marketing plan. Her creative staff produced award-winning copy that was used for all of the published and digital media used for practice marketing.

Barbara Derry's diligence, professionalism, and inventiveness were critical to the success of my practice construction. She is practical and meets deadlines. Her background in nursing has enabled her to communicate and negotiate very effectively. I highly recommend Derry Nolan and Associates because of their experience, their energy, and their ability to finish things.

I love my new practice, office, and operating room space, which were flawlessly developed and managed by the team at Derry Nolan. Without Derry Nolan, I would not have arrived at this splendid practice setting.”

With a lead time of under two weeks and challenged with critical clinic staff shortages, the DNA team brought exactly the needed crisis and change management skills to smoothly rescue access amid consolidation for 13,000 patients. In under 3 months the clinic is essentially staffed, leadership in place, effective clinic processes are rolling, and our physicians are engaged and exceeding projected productivity. An excellent investment on our part, it was delightful and efficient working with the Derry Nolan team.”
