❝ Terri
I was approached by many recruters as I just recently graduated from residency. Most would negotiate nickle and dime. Eric came with his best offer which was in reality THE BEST OFFER. I am extremely pleased after working with Eric and Sharon. They are always available and resolve situation ASAP. Many times, on my benefit. I would not recommend any one else but THEM.
