The tech that performed the sleep study was very nice. She explained everything thoroughly as she hooked me up to all the sensors. The rooms were clean and very nice. I highly recommend this center if ever in need of a sleep study.

Vincent and Preferred Healthcare have been extremely helpful in finding me awesome travel positions! I am currently on my second assignment with them and I have no complaints at all so far. My recruiter (Vincent) is always checking in and making sure everything at the assignment is going smoothly. He has been awesome trying to help me figure out the best housing options and best locations. So far preferred has been able to find me two assignments in a very short amount of time with very competitive pay. I highly recommend them!

Ive been with Preferred for over a year now and Im very happy with the services and support they provide. Peyton is great and the entire staff is exceptionally kind. Theyre always quick to respond to my requests, questions and/or concerns. Some other great perks are that they match 401k contributions and they offer $500 in continuing ed courses if you average a certain number of hours/wk. Overall its an awesome company to work for!

I started working for Preferred Healthcare Staffing about a year after graduating Physical Therapy school. I had a full time job and didnt quite feel ready to settle down and wanted to be able to travel and make more money. Vincent Hull, and the entire team, have been absolutely wonderful at making my goals happen. They are nice, friendly, and have time and time again helped me land the settings and locations that I am eager to work in. Thanks guys!

I have been a physical therapist for over 5 years in outpatient and acute care settings and have only been in permanent/PRN positions before I considered doing travel PT. I really didnt know what to expect when looking into it and was initially overwhelmed by all the companies reaching out to me; however, I am extremely grateful that I was able to join the Preferred Healthcare team. I am just finishing my first assignment which I had a great experience and I am excited to start my second one! Vincent Hull was my recruiter and he was very helpful, knowledgeable about the entire process and made sure I was satisfied with my assignment/placement. I highly recommend Preferred Healthcare and Vincent Hull as a travel company for anyone looking for a great experience, location and compensation!

Ive been working for preferred for almost 5 months as a contract physical therapist. Over the course of the 5 months, my work load has been consistent and in great settings. When issues or questions arise, getting in contact with the person that you need is easy, and if someone is out of the office, they do a good job of reaching back out to you. Competitive pay and benefits. I really cant think of a bad thing to say.

This is a great agency to work for! Their pay is competitive and the facilities they work with are nice. The staff keeps in contact with you and wont leave you hanging if you have an issue. They stay on top of things and work to keep you happy. Ive been working with Toni, whos been wonderfully personable and hardworking.

To any therapist interested in becoming a travel therapist, this is your company. Staff are wonderful working to place you in regions of interest, any area of practice that you may have an interest and getting you competitive salary offers. I had the pleasure of working with Jillian and she was wonderful! Do not work for another company when you can work with this crew.

I have worked with Preferred for over three years now. My first 1 1/2 years I had a great experience. My recruiter was outstanding, but unfortunately left the company. My next recruiter also left and then I had the recruiting manager temporarily, which was unfortunately a very bad experience.I requested a new contact/recruiter and was paired up with Megan. Megan has been great and does her best to be transparent and communicative. I have worked with two other companies prior to Preferred on the east coast who had limited contacts/positions on the west coast. Preferred has a lot of good contacts/placements for California/Pacific NW.

I am a just over a month into my first contract with Preferred and so far everything has been great! I have mostly worked with Vincent who is quick to respond and helpful in making sure I am getting the most out of my placement and that everything is going smoothly. I would definitely recommend others in the PT world to preferred!

I have been working with Vince and Peyton during my time at Preferred and they have been great. They are very accommodating to my preferences and always try to find the assignment that is most suitable for me. I havent had any problems with getting in touch with them and they are always available for any questions and concern. I highly recommend working with Preferred.

I have had great success working with Preferred this past year, landing a few acute care travel placements that have served as just the right fit for me! I appreciate that my recruiter and staffing manager have been genuine, kind, and have kept my best interest in mind from start to finish. They provide an easy flow of communication, offering speedy responses, and are never pushy or bothersome! Highly recommended staffing agency and I am looking forward to continue working with them!

Review №14

I have worked for three travel therapy agencies and Preferred Healthcare Staffing is, BY FAR, my favorite. My recruiter, Megan, was very proactive and attentive--consistently checking in at least once a week to make sure everything was going well at each of my assignments. Any staff from different departments that I had contact with was always very friendly and helped me get what I needed done so I could maintain my state and national compliance. I have very much enjoyed working with Preferred and hope to continue working with them in the future.

Review №15

This is my second time around working with them, and a much better experience than the first. In the past, there were times when 2-3 weeks would go by w/out any placement. This time, I was placed at an assignment within a week. My recruiter has been efficient, thorough and an active listener (translate: hears what Im looking for and not just shove any job my way). Ive been very pleased so far.

I have worked for this company for 4 years and I have been impressed every step of the way. They are extremely flexible with my crazy schedule and have also accommodated me! I love my scheduler Tanya, who is available whenever I need at a moments notice. Highly recommend this company and have friends who I have referred here as well.

Review №17

Preferred Healthcare is extremely professional and responds quickly to any issues or concerns I may have! They offer competitive pay and great benefit packages. Tanya is very flexible with my requests for specific settings I wish to work in. She not only provides my with a variety of opportunities, but never presents or pushes a setting in which she knows I am NOT interested in. I highly recommend working for Preferred Healthcare!

Review №18

I enjoyed working with my former recruiter Laura Durance . She was very attentive to my needs, followed up on my requests quickly and communicated quickly and efficiently via my preferred methods of contact (phone, email or text prior to assignment), email or text during. She was really thoughtful when it came to helping me find my assignments and has always been super friendly when I have seen her at conferences. It is very hard to find that level of attention!

Great Company to work to be a part of! Ive only been a Travel Therapist for a couple of years and this company fits perfectly with personal and professional goals.1) Im a bit bias towards California since I was born here, and intend on exploring as much of it before exploring heading out to the Pacific Northwest. This company has plenty of contracts in California and opportunities to stay in my home state.2) My recruiter is great and always keeping me in the loop. She works hard to negotiate my contracts for everything I want and place me ASAP as soon as my current contract expires, which I appreciate because I can become very restless in between contracts.3) Convenience of living in the same time zone! I originally was working for another Travel Company based out of the East Coast and I was always playing phone tag trying to talk to my recruiter in person.

I have worked for Preferred Healthcare for the past 6 months. I was assisted with finding an excellent placement given my experience and preferences. I have had most all questions and concerns addressed in a timely manner. Preferred has an excellent reputation at my placement for timely communication and referral of excellent PTs. Certainly recommend working with this registry and plan to continue to do so myself!

Review №21

My initial experience with Preferred was a little concerning. The recruiter who had initially been my contact didnt submit my paperwork into the facility I requested and then went MIA for a week or so despite my emails on updates.I was then fortunately paired with Megan, who has been astounding. The contract company you choose is either a positive or negative experience depending on your recruiter. Megan has been on TOP of it regarding my paperwork and being honest and transparent about the various aspects of contract work (benefits, travel reimbursement, salary, etc).This is my first time working with a contract OT company but as long as my recruiter is Megan, I think I will continue to work with them until I decide to take a full time position elsewhere.Transparency: I was offered a gift card to write the review but it wouldnt have mattered because I was going to write one anyways.

Review №23

This is a great agency to work for! Their pay is competitive and the facilities they work with are nice. Ive heard nightmare stories about other agencies, but I seem to have lucked out with this one. The staff keeps in contact with you and wont leave you hanging if you have an issue. They stay on top of things and work to keep you happy. Ive been working with Toni, whos been wonderfully personable and hardworking. The only con with PHS is that you have to pay for your own lab work-ups for the hiring process, but thats about it.

Preferred is an excellent staffing company to work with! Everyone I have worked with is consistently responsive and professional. I received excellent guidance through the complicated process of getting a position with a hospital. They helped me get my dream job and I have recommended Preferred to my colleagues.

Review №25

I cannot say enough amazing things about Preferred. They were always available to hear me out, listened to my goals as a traveler and worked SO HARD to get me the best possible location and setting. I had other agencies I worked for that out me in AWFUL areas but never with Preferred. They also did an amazing job of getting me housing when I had some difficulty finding it. Of all the travel agencies out there, I would only refer my friends and colleagues to Preferred for the best possible experiences!!!

I have 7 years of traveling experience and as some of you may know there are many twist and turns in this industry. My first experience with this staffing company was not great but working with them now for two years and with a change in my recruitment lead, I can honestly say I would recommend this company. They are competitive, willing to work with you and respond quickly.

I had never worked for a registry company before Preferred, but I definitely feel I lucked out with a good one my first shot. Ive been with PHS for almost a year now, and have been grateful to have such a communicative and helpful contact person as Tanya, who returns emails promptly and gets in touch with my work site as necessary. Paychecks are always on time and accurate, additional work is always offered if Ive been canceled at my main work site, and Ive had nothing but a smooth ride!

Review №38

This is my first contract with Preferred Healthcare, although Toni also spent substantial time working with me in the past to find the right fitting job (I am very particular about my placements). In spite of my pickiness, Toni has never expressed frustration with me and is always optimistic. She takes the time to explain things and take care of HR tasks that I may have forgotten. Her team is also fairly good at getting things done, and my transition over to Preferred from my last company was relatively smooth.

I was a traveling PT for about 4 years and mostly worked with Preferred in that time. The did so many great things for me, here are just a few of their qualities:1) can always get ahold of someone over the phone same day2) best pay Ive had by 20%3) they listened to where I wanted to go4) got me a job in acute care (without prior experience)5) they did per diem and contracts seamlessly6) everyone was actually friendlyIn five years since graduating, I have worked in two nursing homes (perm), home health (perm), outpatient (perm) and various other settings as a traveler. Preferred is the BEST travel company. I recommend them to everyone considering travel PT.If I ever go back to travel PT work, I will only work with Preferred. Laura and Kristine were the best. I even met them in San Diego. Not many travelers can say they actually met anyone who works at the agency. Thank you guys for always being there and doing such a wonderful job. You are AWESOME.

I have worked for Preferred a little over a year now. They always pay on time and my recruiter Toni Patchell goes above and beyond to clarify any misunderstandings and fix problems. The entire Preferred staff has been very responsive to my needs and fix mistakes promptly. It has not been hard to get in touch with staff and following a rocky start, Preferred has really redeemed themselves and proven that they care . Toni, Cari, Laura and Gennie keep up the good work.

Review №68

This is my 1st traveling placement. I was working with a recruiter who unexpectedly left the company 1 month after my placement started and was quickly followed up by Megan who filled me in on the situation and has been communicative, informative, and transparent thus far.The 1st recruiter was very attentive to my needs and prior to me agreeing to work with PHS followed up with me well and generally continued to maintain communication throughout. I have been paid on time so far and am happy with being paid weekly.I will say that when filling out documents, the recruiter seemed to not know the purpose of some documents..however, which could have resulted in me not getting my medical/dental/vision benefits (good thing I clarified!). When I asked questions about documents though..he was quick to follow up with more knowledgable workers if he was unsure about answers to my questions. He definitely took the time to answer my questions and was attentive.I did have 1 questionable experience with this recruiter regarding how certain fees would be covered (license, medical requirements to work, etc). He said that PHS would cover these fees as long as I sent receipts, when in the end, he meant that these fees would be taken out of my paycheck by the hourly rather than an upfront fee.Overall..my experience has been mostly good so far.

Melanie J. Reiten and her office staff are a joke. Preferred is the worst company I have ever worked for, and Ive worked in healthcare a long time. Difficult time getting paid, will threaten too destroy your career if you refuse to participate in illegal activities, their idea of housing is a cheap hotel, high turnover rate, poorest pay in the industry, the list goes on. They say they appreciate their therapists, but are really only concerned about not losing their clients. Have contracts with some of the worst rehab companies in the industry.
