Client Testimonials
...She is highly intelligent
and extremely diligent. Jobs are done very quickly
and thoroughly... once Robyn signs on to a project,
everyone can relax in the knowledge that it will
be completed efficiently and effectively. In addition,
Robyns background in engineering, information
systems and technical writing allows her to be
very creative in the production process. On numerous
occasions, a few insightful suggestions from her
about constructive changes led to much improved
final products. Robyn
is always professional in every way. Her interpersonal
skills are superb. I recommend her with no reservations
whatsoever for any position.
Morris Levin, MD
Associate Professor of Medicine (Neurology)
Associate Professor of Psychiatry
Dartmouth Medical School
Co-Director, Dartmouth Headache Center
Director, Dartmouth Neurology Residency Training
Program
...I would not have the number
of publications I have
were it not for Robyn's efforts. ... She is able
to effectively edit draft manuscripts to meet
word count limitations while maintaining the intellectual
content. ... I would simply not have the time
to both write and guide manuscripts through the
editing, submission, and publication process on
my own.
John
M. Gemery, MD, Assistant Professor
Vascular and Interventional Radiology
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center
...attention to detail, editing skills and scientific
knowledge [have] helped my R01 grant proposals
to achieve higher scores. ... I needed an experienced
editor to help me organize my ideas and express
my research aims to their best level of professionalism.
In the competitive quest for federal grant funding,
an editor gives a researcher a definite competitive
edge.
Marvin M. Doyley,
PhD
Assistant Professor of Radiology and Engineering
Dartmouth's Thayer School of Engineering
...a superior medical editor, writer, and editorial
assistant, who has been invaluable in my recent
publications.
Robert D. Harris,
MD, FACR
Professor of Radiology and OB/GYN
Dartmouth Medical School
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center
...It is difficult to appreciate how much time
goes into submission of these papers
to journals like JNS. ... I am certain that
much of this academic work would not have reached
the journals without her support.
Alexander C. Mamourian,
M.D.
Associate Professor of Radiology
University of Pennsylvania Health System, Department
of Radiology
...Robyn has been an invaluable resource for me,
enabling me to efficiently revise and complete
three manuscripts that
have been published or are currently in press.
...If she was not available to me as a resource,
I am certain that I would not have been as academically
productive.
Andrew R. Forauer,
MD, FSIR, Associate Professor
Vascular and Interventional Radiology
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center
...She has functioned as an editorial assistant
in a number of complex scientific
manuscripts that I have co-authored. Robyn
is a hard worker.... organized, efficient and
trustworthy. She has an unusual ability to comprehend
complicated scientific data and translate it into
understandable concepts and language based on
the target audience. Robyn is a great resource.
Her participation allows a busy author to focus
on the scientific and clinical aspects of the
manuscript, rather than the mechanics of editing
and submission, which reflects a huge time savings.
...I recommend her enthusiastically.

Associate Professor of Radiology
