MD Pro Solutions was founded by a group of medical practitioners and practice administrators who specialize in working with Ear Nose and Throat (ENT), Orthopedic (Ortho), and Plastic Surgery practices. Our experience helps us to understand and develop solutions for the medical billing and administrative business because we have lived it ourselves. MD Pro Solutions recognizes that the only way to successfully navigate the complex task of medical billing and office management is to stay on top of educational training and to have a firm grasp of the medical insurance industry.

Founded by a practicing physician and his patient, a successful software entrepreneur, our company, Modernizing Medicine, took a dramatically different approach to developing our electronic health records (EHR) systems. We hired doctors and taught them how to code. The result is highly custom software specifically designed for the needs of each specialty. With the help of our doctors who code, our platforms are built for speed and efficiency
