Dr. Gene Balzer, Chief Executive Officer of Biotronic, said, “The biggest trend for us is that the hospitals we work with are looking at outsourcing as a standardized risk-management tool to give better care to patients.” When asked further about why Biotronic in particular has found such success with hospitals, Dr. Balzer stated, “The hospitals want a sole-source vendor that can provide quality assessment reports and that can follow set protocols; Biotronic consistently matches their needs.”

Adam Dolder, MD, Managing Director of Great Point Partners and Chairman of Biotronic stated, “Biotronic’s growth is directly reflective of the trends and pressures facing hospitals today as hospitals look to ease overall management complexity, appropriately manage their cost infrastructure while also providing the best clinical care possible. Biotronic enables its customers to do that with respect to IONM services.” Jeffrey Jay M.D. co-founder of Great Point Partners and a member of Biotronic’s Board of Directors added, “We are pleased with Biotronic’s rapid growth and leading market position and congratulate all the Biotronic employees with the recognition the Company has received.”
