Potomac Neurosurgery

“My experience with the firm of Snyder Cohn has been uniformly positive. My firm, Potomac Neurosurgery has worked with Maureen McCarthy, Steve Braunstein, Laurie Dalton, Jane Thomson and others for the past 10 years. They helped transform my low volume, sedate practice into a major player in the Southern Maryland area. This culminated with the successful sale of the practice to Georgetown-MedStar, thus providing institutional continuity and quality care for the years to come.

“Maureen in particular helped me navigate through the inevitable turns and twists, bumps and obstacles. She understood how medical agreements between doctors and hospitals can be structured in a fair and mutually beneficial fashion. She understood accounting, healthcare and most importantly human nature. There was never a detail too small or a problem too big. She was always there: intelligent, reasonable and reassuring. If she needed help from attorneys or other accountants, she did not hesitate to get it. Thus, I was always protected and best solutions were found. When emotions were high she quieted things down, and when I needed to be strong she gave me the correct advice.

“She worked well with Steve Braunstein. I remember in particular a meeting where my financial interests were being negotiated. Maureen had handled the situation for several months. Accountants from out of town were flying in. On the day of the final meeting her mother became sick and Maureen had to be with her. She briefed Steve thoroughly and he came to the meeting well prepared.  She subsequently showed her mastery of details when opposing accountants tried to negotiate away monies that belonged to me. She was fair, she was successful and in the end everyone remained friends.

“Steve, who is the corporation accountant, was always available with good advice and innovative solutions.

Jane and others helped me when Maureen or Steve were not available, particularly when the situation was delicate or urgent, giving me access to my advisors in a friendly, professional and efficient manner.”

“For this I thank you all and wish you well”
