What Our Employees Say

  • "I have been with EM Specialists for 9 years, but I have known many of the providers much longer. I have always worked in the Emergency Department, starting as a tech and working my way up to RN and NP. I love this group of providers and the care we provide. I love the flexibility of the schedule and visiting various EDs. EM Specialists has a 'small' company feeling where the employer knows you, unlike corporate medicine groups, where you are just a number."
