“When we experienced difficulties with patient flow in our Emergency Department, we engaged Dr. Twanmoh to analyze the situation and provide recommendations for improvement. We found Joe to be a highly experienced ED physician with a thorough understanding of hospital operations. Based on his analysis, nursing and physician resources were reallocated, ambulance diversions were substantially reduced, and a split-flow model of patient care was introduced. In addition, Joe was invaluable with space planning for our ED renovation and COVID-19 preparations. We’ve been very pleased with the results of this engagement and highly recommend Dr. Twanmoh and his team.”

"It was my first excellent experience in the past 23 years living in the USA. I wish all the hospitals had the same system they have in this hospital."
