“I would like to start with an anecdote of what I had heard about Mitchell Martin Inc. through my colleagues whenever I would enquire as to which agency I should send my business. My colleagues unanimously declared Mitchell Martin as the ‘one’ in the health care business. Your company was described as trustworthy, involved with the best healthcare companies, fast in repositioning your therapists and compensating well for services rendered.
I highlight one aspect of Mitchell Martin’s health care crew in this commendation: the employees. Lisa Ricca was the first person I interacted with upon contacting the company—ever since that day, our professional relationship has grown.
Lisa Ricca is the not only the most charismatic person at Mitchell Martin, but has been extremely supportive in helping me to finish my resume and listening to my thoughts on a personal level. She is an incredibly practical, receptive, sincere, warm and friendly person—every time I recommend Mitchell Martin I am sure to advocate Lisa Ricca as the first person to contact.
I have been very pleased by how my relationship with Mitchell Martin has developed and especially by having Lisa Ricca as my consultant.
Thank you, Mitchell Martin.”
