$750 Healthcare IT Assessment for Medical and Dental Practices
For healthcare practices only. It's a fixed-price way to find security gaps, backup problems, infrastructure issues, and unstable systems before they cause downtime, and before you take on a bigger project.
$750
Healthcare only
What you get back
A written findings report: what I found, which issues matter most, recommended next steps, and a realistic view of what to handle first.
How the fee works
If the assessment turns into a larger healthcare project, the $750 can be credited toward that project.
Not a healthcare practice? That's fine. Law firms, professional offices, and other small businesses are handled case by case based on actual scope.

Request a ConsultationBackground
Real environments. Real pressure. Real systems.
Healthcare systems and regulated environments
You don't need a platform-specific technician. If your practice's systems are unstable, slow, poorly integrated, or hard to support, the first step is understanding the workflow, the infrastructure, the data flow, and the failure points. I can step into unfamiliar medical software quickly, troubleshoot the backend, and stabilize the environment without a long learning curve. That's the work I've been doing in healthcare IT for 17+ years.
Recovery, migration, and cleanup work
Hands-on work involving ransomware recovery support, VMware and server troubleshooting, Azure-related issues, scripting, database operations, and the cleanup that usually gets ignored until it hurts.
Simple process
How it works
1
Initial conversation
You explain the problem, your setup, how urgent it is, and what you've already tried.
2
Scope recommendation
Healthcare practices usually start with the $750 assessment. Other businesses get a recommendation based on what they actually need.
3
The work
Clear next actions, practical work, and direct communication instead of a lot of presentation fluff.
Why it matters
Small issues get expensive when no one owns them.
Security gaps, weak backups, poor documentation, stale infrastructure, and unstable databases usually don't stay small. They compound.
The assessment gives you a clear, written picture of where your practice stands, so you can fix the important things first.

One assessment at a time.
I do each assessment myself and take on one at a time, so start dates depend on what's already on the schedule. Ask and I'll tell you what's open.

AD Cleanup & Audit Kit ($29)
A read-only PowerShell script that reads your Active Directory and gives you a plain report of what needs cleaning up. It covers stale users and computers, passwords that never expire, admin group members (nested groups included), disabled accounts still in groups, and Windows versions that are out of support. It doesn't change anything, and you don't need Domain Admin to run it. It covers on-prem AD only.
It's a good first look before an assessment. The script shows you the problems, and the $750 assessment is where we figure out which ones matter for your practice and what to fix first.

FAQ
Questions about the healthcare IT assessment
Who is the $750 assessment for?
Healthcare practices, like small medical and dental offices. Other businesses are scoped case by case.
What do I get at the end?
A written findings report: what I found, which issues matter most, and recommended next steps in the order I'd handle them.
Is the assessment remote or on-site?
Remote first. If something needs to be looked at in person, I come on-site in Raleigh and Wake County.
How soon can you start?
I take one assessment at a time, so it depends on what's already on the schedule. Send a request and I'll tell you what's open.
Can the assessment lead to a larger project?
Yes. If it turns into a larger healthcare project, the $750 can be credited toward that project.
Do you only work in healthcare?
No. Healthcare is the main focus, but I take on other small-business IT work when the fit is right.
