About Rick Crici
Your Secret Weapon in Running a Successful Medical Practice
You work hard to make things better for your patients and your practice. Managing everything is not easy though. You've got so many things to think about every day, from work to your personal life. Sometimes, it might feel like it's too much to handle.
Feeling Swamped? You're Not Alone in the Business Operations Tug-of-War
Does it feel like you're always under pressure? Don't worry! You're not alone. Healthcare is complicated, with financial worries, team issues, and the constant need to provide excellent care for patients . Deciding on new steps can be intimidating when you're already doing so much. Office managers, you've been thrown into roles that demand a lot, but without clear guidance with respect to your responsibilities.
From the Front Lines to By Your Side
I'm Rick Crici. I've spent decades in the trenches of healthcare management, where I've tackled the same challenges you're up against today. I started in healthcare in 1992 working for large hospitals and a few private practices during my journey. I started consulting back in 1999, working with practices from plastic surgery to dermatology, podiatry, ENT and cardiolgy to name a few.
I’ve learned the hard way what works and what doesn't work. Along the way, I've worn many hats, from being the go-to problem solver to the shoulder healthcare professionals lean on when the weight of their roles becomes too much for any one person to handle alone.
What sets me apart isn't just my expertise in making practices more efficient, or my knack for solving complex problems. It's my personal journey through the world of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), executive coaching, life coaching and hypnosis that helped me face my struggles with self-doubt, and ultimately guided me to triumph over adversity.
I've been the office manager who felt out of touch, the consultant stressed about delivering results, and the individual searching for balance between work and my personal life. These experiences have not only equipped me with practical tools. They have also infused me with empathy and a genuine desire to help others succeed.
I'm here for you with a toolbox of strategies and a genuine interest in helping you. I will talk with you, listen and seek to understand. I promise to be by your side, offering insights gained from years of real-world experience and personal growth.
Together, we'll navigate the challenges of your practice, find solutions tailored to your unique situation, and celebrate the victories, big and small. With a blend of professional knowledge and personal insight, I'll help you transform not only your practice but also your approach to the pressures of healthcare.
