“Our practice has just completed our second successful search with Royal Health Group. Each of these searches was difficult in part due to late initiation of the search. Royal Oak was able to locate a number of appropriate candidates. The candidates were well screened and oriented about our opportunity before being contacted by our practice. Royal Oak was available regardless of time or day when contact with them was deemed appropriate. Their insights into candidate goals and financial packages were very helpful. They were was also helpful as an intermediary when contract details were negotiated with a candidate. Despite frustrations occurring during the search process, Royal Oak was always positive and persistent in working for a successful completion of the search. All communications were professional and efficient. When our practice again needs to recruit another Cardiologist, I will have no hesitation in contacting Royal Oak Health Group again.”
Alan D. Bramowitz, MD, FACC, President , Jefferson Cardiology Association
“I have found the Royal Oak Health staff to be extremely professional, responsive and targeted in their approach to sourcing candidates for our organization. Communications are first class and they have helped recruit for us on several occasions in past years. They have been my first choice when it comes to recruiting physicians.”
Gary Zrimec, CEO, North Ohio Heart
“The integrity of Royal Oak Heath Group is unsurpassed in the business. From time to time, they run a recruitment fee special. Our first position was filled rather quickly; however, due to our extremely tight position parameters, it took almost three years to satisfy the other opening. Even though the second candidate search was delayed, at no time did we ever feel the level of commitment, communication, or professionalism diminish. Truly the mark of a world-class organization. “
Michael Dusseau, Senior Advisor to the Chairman, Florida Heart & Vascular

Candidate Testimonials
“I contacted many practices and companies looking for a 1-year employment opportunity as a non-invasive cardiologist in Western PA, preferably Pittsburgh. I started late in the process and as a 3rd-year Fellow, admittedly, I was not an ideal candidate. I was honest about myself and Royal Oak Health Group found a 1 year position for me as a non-invasive cardiologist in Pittsburgh. It’s a great group and a great opportunity. My family is very happy. Thank you Royal Oak Health Group”
Bryan Schwartz, MD

They followed up to ensure that any questions or concerns I had about the position or the group were answered to my satisfaction. When it was time to negotiate my contract with the group they made the process a smooth one and even when I was busy, made contacts with the group to ascertain that the negotiations are progressing.

“Royal Oak Health is truly physician-centered. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and well organized. Their experience and professionalism shows in every step of the job search. They have met all my expectations and more. A great team to have on my side.”
Khaled Dajani, MD, Director of Echo
“I had the pleasure of working with Royal Oak during my job search. I had worked with a number of placement companies during my 8-9 month search. Some agents I had worked with would page me (uninvited) through my pager at the hospital, sometimes multiple times during the day to discuss job prospects and issues to the point that I could barely get anything accomplished. They would pressure me almost to ridiculous levels with deadlines if I didn’t sign a contract I was not comfortable with.
Royal Oak was very professional and easy to work with. They promptly answered emails and phone calls from me, and gave me room to breathe. They helped facilitate my discussions with the group I was looking at, and allowed me my autonomy. Royal Oak made a very exciting but highly stressful ordeal much more tolerable. I would highly recommend Royal Oak for your job search; they will go the extra mile for you.”
Shani Saks, DO
“The staff at Royal Oak Health remained helpful and professional throughout the process, never pressuring yet always available.”
