A recruiter got me hired. Nobody checked if it was right for me.

“A recruiter once passed my resume to a hospital and disappeared the moment I signed, checking in only to make sure the placement fee cleared. I felt like a retainer fee, not a person. That's the gap I've spent my career trying to close, first with VirtuCare, now with Tessellate: physicians get somebody in their corner instead of a checkbox.”

I've been on both sides of the table, in big cities, as well as in rural markets, where recruiting often misses.

“I've practiced medicine, led health system operations, set state health policy, and now invest in and own rural healthcare practices. Along the way, I kept running into the same information gap, whether I was the one hiring or the one being recruited. Physicians and employers just don't walk in with the same set of facts. What convinced me to back Tessellate was watching it close that disconnect with broader, more sophisticated data than the industry has traditionally relied on.”

Tessellate surfaces what you'd never think to ask

“I've interviewed a lot of physicians. The process is flawed. I don't always ask the right questions, and newly trained physicians don't know what to ask either. Tessellate surfaces what you'd never think to ask, CPT codes, payer mix, real alignment, built on trust. I wouldn't put my name on anything less.”

Most residents don't have someone like me watching their back. Now they do.

“For many years I was a neurosurgery residency director, graduating just a couple of neurosurgeons a year, so I got to personally work my network for each one. Many residents don't have that kind of access and advocacy. Tessellate does for every physician what I could only do for a handful: identify opportunities, verify real clinical data, and help you weigh your choices before you sign.”

A great offer on paper can still be the wrong job.

“I’m still in residency, so I’m watching my co-residents start to think seriously about what comes next. What’s surprised me is how backwards the traditional physician job search can feel. We spend years learning to make decisions based on data, but when it comes to our own careers, we’re often working from a short job description, isolated recruiter conversation, and a few interviews. Salary matters, but so do call, workload, support, location, lifestyle, and what your day-to-day practice will actually look like. I got involved with Tessellate because I think physicians should have that information before making one of the biggest decisions of their careers—not after they’ve already signed.”

The right opportunity starts with a clear understanding of the work.

“Working with my partners to develop opportunities and offers meant thinking carefully about what a practice needed and what we were asking a physician to take on. It also meant recognizing that a well-written description could only tell part of the story.Compensation matters. So do the schedule, the people you’ll work with, the resources you can count on, and your ability to influence how care is delivered. Those details deserve a candid conversation before either side makes a commitment.Physicians should be able to ask direct questions and expect clear answers. What will be expected of me? Will I have the support to meet those expectations? Is this a place where I can practice well and build the professional life I want?That’s why I’m involved with Tessellate. I want to help physicians evaluate an opportunity with a clearer understanding of the work and whether it fits their priorities.”
