What our physicians say about working with us

It is always a pleasure to work with Randy or Jeannine. SUMO Medical Staffing really has made the process of getting credentialed very easy for me. They are excellent with communication and are always helpful no matter what the problem was. I have recommended SUMO to friends who we’re looking for an easy and stress free way to work as a locum tenens physician. – Dr. Anne B.

SUMO Medical Staffing has been helping me find jobs and supporting me through my assignments as a locum hospitalist since August of 2013. Being a fresh graduate out of residency school, I did not have any idea or knowledge about how to find locum jobs and what things I needed to do in terms of licensing, credentialing, traveling to and from my work place and getting to know people in a new work place, at that time. SUMO Medical Staffing officials have been so helpful and supportive that finding jobs and working through them has been a pleasant and joyful experience for me. – Dr. Nazrul C.

My SUMO Medical Staffing recruiter really cared and listened to what was important for me and my family. Because of this she worked hard in placing us in the best position possible. She came across to me as a true pro. If anything did arise I had the security of knowing she was there for me any time of day or night! The entire staff at SUMO has been wonderful to work with and I would recommend them to anyone looking to do locums work. – Dr. D
