Client and Partner Testimonials Page
“Our hospital has had a business relationship with EMTS for over two years now, during which time I have enjoyed dealing with Charlie
and his staff both professionally and personally. I cannot remember a time when they have not been accommodating in meeting what is
often a limited timeline on our end."
"I must admit that I was somewhat apprehensive at first, as the business model is based upon EMTS bouncing the pricing you negotiate
against a variety of national data bases for comparison purposes, then re-engaging the supplier if additional savings is available.
Materials Management staff naturally feel threatened by this initially. However, once "pride" is set aside, they truly provide a great
value in providing savings that would have otherwise been unattainable. It is virtually risk-free. EMTS does not bill any fees unless
they are able to negotiate savings above and beyond what you are able to do on you own. Even when the pricing you negotiate is not
improved by EMTS, it serves as a great litmus test to gauge you and your staff by on a national basis. In addition, the business model
provides hospitals with limited negotiating resources with some much needed leverage to deal with giant manufacturers. I would highly
recommend them to anyone!”
Kevin R. Stonner - Materials Manager
North Kansas City Hospital
“I have had the opportunity to work with EMTS on a major new building project this year. I was genuinely surprised at the level of
professionalism I encountered. Their Operations staff was informed, helpful, honest and very up front in all of our interactions. I am
a skeptic in my soul and they managed to turn me into a believer very quickly. We were able to get the best value for our money plus
they negotiated other value added items that I would never have thought to ask for. It really helps to work with the Pros!”
Chris Smiley - Associate Director – Patient Care Services

“We have been a business partner of EMTS for over four years. During that time, Charles George and his EMTS staff have assisted in
the evaluation of equipment purchases ranging from a $1,170 centrifuge to a $ 2,060,000 CT scanner. The resources and expertise of EMTS
have produced substantial cost savings on capital equipment purchases. Their prompt professional service, attention to detail, and
advocacy for the client are outstanding. We currently enjoy a win-win relationship with EMTS and plan to continue our partnership for
years to come.”

Their Operations Team have been excellent in their communications and follow-ups concerning our projects. Even when we need projects

notch as well. I wish all our vendors treated us like EMTS does!”
