Thank you for sharing your experience here, however, it's not the experience we want you to have with Sound. Our new practice management model is one we're proud of, but certainly isn't without flaws – and we're open to making it better. Collaboration has been the cornerstone of our culture for so long – and it pains us to know you're not finding it in your leadership. We truly do welcome your feedback and would love to have a conversation to learn how we might better support you in your role. Please reach out to belong@soundphysicians.com. — The Sound team

I know firsthand that your role is a demanding one, so thank you for doing what you do, day in and out, to support our clinicians. We would not be successful without you! I also want to acknowledge the challenge of change — improving our practice model brought new structure and processes, and we’ve brought in new leadership with new ideas to help us take care of more patients, coast to coast. Because of our national footprint, the experience — though we try to make it consistent — can feel different depending on where you are. Thank you for your advice here. If you’re interested, I’d love to chat to better understand how we can reinvigorate our culture. You can reach out to me directly via email, or here at belong@soundphysicians.com. — Jennifer Grover, Senior Vice President of Operations

Pros

Coworkers are great Flexible with hours when needed

Cons

Management is horrible. They claim to care about the employees, but they do not. They care about their checks and the employees be damned. Promotions are based on who you know not what you know.

We appreciate your feedback. It is definitely not the experience or perspective we want our team members to have. The Westlake region has undergone more than its fair share of change, and we acknowledge the impact this has had on trust and morale. And while we do believe in promoting from within, we make sure those folks bring the right blend of what we're looking for. To that end, your comments about our licensing and credentialing leadership raises concerns. Obviously, a review is one way to communicate with us. Still, we invite you to reach out directly to us at belong@soundphysicians.com, as we'd like the opportunity to better understand and take action, if appropriate. — The Sound team
