"Our group switched to Advocate, MD about three years ago and we have been extremely happy. One of my partners had a frivolous law suit a couple of years ago and Advocate, MD handled it incredibly well. Their customer care was excellent! It has been a pleasure to work with this Austin based company which offers extremely competitive rates and exceptional customer service. I highly recommend Advocate, MD for their customer care, competitive rates and great financial stability in this current market."

"I have been extremely pleased with Advocate DO as my Insurance Carrier. I have been in practice for 27 years. During that time, I have had several Malpractice carriers. I can say, unequivocally, that the service, cost, and coverage are all far superior to my previous carriers.

The policy provides for zero deductible for physician defense against the Texas Medical Board. This is very important due to increasing TMB complaints. TMB has also been sued in Federal Court for abuse of power as well as investigated by the Texas legislature. It is good to know that we now have an "Advocate" to help us if we are faced with TMB investigations or other litigious difficulties."

Deeply Appreciative
Larry C. Hughes, D.O.

"The malpractice audit was handled from first-to-last in a pleasant and professional manner. The practice received quite a few useful tips and suggestions - and they are already implemented. If only all service providers were as helpful and professional as Advocate MD."

Dr. Bill Mania, MD

"Thank you, Tracie Deison (Sr. Underwriter); you all have been a pleasure to work with and I am glad I went with Advocate, MD."

Dr. D

"I've been dealing with malpractice carriers for over 20 years, and I can honestly say that in today's marketplace, Advocate MD has the BEST all-around service of any carrier I work with, bar none."

RB, MD

"With Advocate, D.O., I received a substantial discount on my premium that includes proactive risk management, aggressive claims management, and TMB defense. They provide excellent customer service, are readily available and really put the doctor first. I know with Advocate, D.O., I have the expertise I need to inform me, the knowledge I need to decrease my risk and the coverage I need to protect my assets."

Dr. Bayles

"My medical liability policy with Advocate, D.O. provides me with Texas Medical Board defense with no deductible, free locum tenems, prior acts coverage, and a "consent to settle" clause. They respond quickly and the staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. In addition, I saved $3,500 on my premium. I am proud to be an Advocate, D.O. insured."

Dr. Taveau

"The staff at Advocate, MD is a pleasure to work with. They provided a free on-site risk management assessment that contributed to our first significant decrease in my OB/GYN malpractice coverage in 10 years. In addition, with my recent addition of a medical spa they were able to tell me ahead of time if any of the added procedures would result in a premium increase. It is great to be able to call and speak directly to the underwriter."

Jonathan Weinstein, M.D., F.A.C.O.G.

"Advocate, MD provides excellent service. The staff is knowledgeable, provides timely service, and is readily available. I was quickly primed with the information needed to secure appropriate malpractice coverage after deciding to work as an independent contractor. The rate quoted was competitive."

Sanjai Isaac

"I was very pleased with my quote from Advocate, DO. They came in under everybody else, and also did not fill my contract with restrictions. What makes it even more attractive is knowing that TOMA and TxACOFP also benefit financially when its members sign up."

David E. Garza, DO President, TxACOFP Member, TOMA Board of Trustees

"I am Harlan J. Borcherding, a Texas D.O. since 1970. My malpractice was coming up for renewal. On 1/15/07 at our District 6 meeting, Dr. Saylak, TOMA president, mentioned Advocate DO, of which I had not previously heard. Dr. Saylak encouraged everyone to check with Advocate, DO before renewing. I have been using Gallagher National Services for most of the almost 27 yrs. that I have been in Texas. After obtaining and filling out an application for renewal, I called Trey Huthchins with Gallagher and requested getting a quote from Advocate, DO. He told me that Advocate, DO had already looked at my files along with many others and that I had already been approved for my renewal with a reduction of premium from $13,000.00 to $8,000.00. That really made my day. The weekend of 2/9-2/11 members of the Advocate, DO staff were present and gave a presentation about their company and stated their commitment to Texas DOs."

Harlan J. Borcherding, DO

"I'm so happy to have my malpractice insurance with Advocate, DO, a state licensed insurance company, at a premium rate I can afford with a sizeable discount for being a member in my professional organizations, the TOMA and ACOFP."
