"To whom it may concern –

Over the last fourteen months, I have had the privilege to work with Brad Jones at Kruse and Associates in Tulsa. In that time, both Brad and his staff have been extremely professional, addressed my particular needs and placed me in engagements where I could be highly successful.

It is rare when a search firm goes the extra mile for their candidates. Brad went so far as to reimburse me for the expenses of acquiring project management certification. This enabled me to secure additional engagements both with Kruse and elsewhere.

In the future, I would not hesitate to work again with Brad. In addition, I would urge any potential candidates to have Brad represent them in their job searching efforts."

"It was a pleasure to work for a very good company like TheraKare, Inc. / Kruse and Associates. They have been very helpful and supportive in all my travel assignments and especially in processing my immigration papers. They have been good with foreign-educated/trained therapist.

Thanks a lot, more power and Take KARE to all of you."

Floyd Bristol, PT

"By the way, I checked TheraKare's website. I was happy to find it so interesting, informative and helpful. It enlightened me about so many things and I somehow got a clear overview of what and how it's going to be, myself being a "traveling PT". I found it as a very welcoming idea, exciting treat and opportunity as well as a challenging journey. All my questions were answered, and my concerns were all properly addressed. Now, my thoughts are clear. I am certain with my decision. And I can't wait to be a part of your prestigious company.

I am convinced that my decision to join the dynamic, fabulous and professional healthcare team of TheraKare is one big leap towards success and fulfillment. And for that, I commit my word to work with you as a Physical Therapist to the best of my ability.

Please keep in touch always.
Thank you so much for working so diligently on this and for helping me in every step of the way."

Paul Carillo, PT

"You people are just too good to be true. How come I had to wait so long to find Kruse and Associates and TravelKare? All good things come to those who look long enough!...You have impressed me with your honesty and your willingness to go the extra distance for somebody you have never even seen before..."
Remar, RN
"Unlike many companies, the upper management is easily and truly accessible; I never hesitate to pick up the phone to call them, or to write an e-mail. Any issues needed resolving have been dealt with quickly, efficiently and fairly... I have always felt valued as both an employee, and as an individual. Who wouldn't want to work for such a company!"

"I have been doing business with TheraKare for several years and have found them to be professional, courteous and most importantly, effective.

RehabCare Group has facilities in over 40 states and I need a company that has the ability to solve my staffing problems quickly. TheraKare does that. Their reasonable rates and prompt attention to my needs keep me calling back.

As the market continues to tighten up, with regards to allied health professionals, it is reassuring to have a company like TheraKare there as a safety net".

"Seldom do I take time to write a letter to recognize and extol the virtues of good service from a company, but I feel compelled to do so in this case.

We have had need for quick and emergent physical therapy services during this last year and your company has responded in a very timely, courteous and professional manor. Your company's very existences makes my job in recruiting physical therapists much easier. I was very pleased to know you had a therapist ready to come to our facility should an emergency situation arise. It is for these reasons that I continue to use your company and appreciate your keeping us informed with your quarterly newsletter and occasional calls to see how we are doing in the facility.

I highly recommend your services to others should you ever need an endorsement. Keep up the good work."

"As you know the recruiting of excellent quality therapist can be a difficult and stressful task. Your company has provided excellent service and quality therapists, which helps TruCare continue to grow. I would like to express my appreciation to your wonderful staff and want to thank you for making my job easier.

TheraKare has provided my company with exceptional therapists who are well-trained and a pleasure to work with. the placement department has been a joy to work with. Cathy Logan was a very attentive to our specific needs, and gave great effort in ensuring that our criteria was met. I never once worried that our patients would not get the quality treatment that they deserve.

I definitely plane to use TheraKare in the future, and will not hesitate to call when a new need arises. Please accept my appreciation of the excellent services your company has provided and be assured that I will recommend your services to others.

Thank you again for all of your hard work and dedication to servicing our needs. "

"I would like to take the time to personally thank you and your staff for being so committed to producing such a quality service, including placement service, the billing department, and the therapists assigned to our facilities. I have especially enjoyed working with Cathy Logan. She ahs always been very professional and handled crisis situations very effectively.

TheraKare makes my job as a human Resources Manager easier by quickly and efficiently responding to my therapy needs. Your company is very cooperative, fair and always ethical in your dealing of any problems we may have had. TheraKare is a wonderful source for finding qualified therapists and I will recommend your services to others."

"I want to take this opportunity to let you know how much I appreciate you and all your efforts with us. You have always been honest and caring about our arrangements. I particularly am impressed with how much you care about Eileen as well as us. There seems to be no conflict of interest. I feel a part of the team effort rather than an outsider.

I know that Eileen also values you. She speaks very highly of you and feels very safe in your care. I believe her trust in you has been well grounded. I trust you as well.

Thank you for providing us with such a highly trained and capable occupational therapist. I would not hesitate to cal on you in the future if I needed to find another specialist that you also provided."

"I am writing in reference of TheraKare's contract therapy services. I have had the pleasure of working with Cathy Logan and TheraKare since 1997 when I was an Area Manager with Team Rehab. When I became director of Therapy with Balanced Care in July 1999, I elected to continue to utilize TheraKare's services with my new company because of the outstanding treatment I had received from Cathy in the past. I endured the challenge of taking Balanced Care's therapy services in-house with the help of TheraKare. When Balanced Care sold in Jan. 2000, I explained to my supervisors that I wished to continue to utilize TheraKare because of the excellent experiences I have had with Cathy and her staff in the past.

TheraKare has provided staffing coverage for me, often on very short notice. The caliber of the therapists that TheraKare has provided has consistently been superior. I have found TheraKare's staff to be talented, properly oriented, and very independent in the delivery of quality therapy services. It is so critical with short-term staffing to have therapists that can walk into a situation, assess it, and beginning work immediately. TheraKare's staff has accomplished this while always being pleasant and at the same time maintaining the productivity standards expected.

I would like to say that Cathy Log is TheraKare to me. No matter what needs I have, I know I can count on Cathy not only to come through, but also to come through with "flying colors". In addition to the suburb quality of her staff, Cathy Logan is the main reason I continue to utilize TheraKare's services.

I will continue to use TheraKare any time I have contract therapy service needs. I am extremely grateful to have Cathy and her crew to call upon."

Lisa Murphy, BSW, MOT, OTR
Director of Therapy

"Besides myself, I would not work for any one else. I am a foreign trained therapist in the states now for 5+ years. At TheraKare I have never been lied to, never had a contract pulled from under me, never been left without support, never been forced to take a position, never had my immigration and visa status held over me as a bargaining chip. I have been shown the utmost respect and consideration for my judgment both professional and personal. it is the only company that I know that has changed the cheque printing paper in order to save money - before cutting the therapist benefits. they have always been 100% up front with me. and even overcome my barriers and mistrust of American corporate employers."
Maxine
"This year, after not having to utilize agency staff for several years, we experienced some turnover and I was on the search for some help. I was lucky enough to get in contact with TheraKare and Brad Jones.

To keep this pleasant story brief, all I can say is that Brad and the TheraKare Team have been absolutely WONDERFUL! They were timely, followed up appropriately and took care of things for us down to the last detail. As a result, not only were we able to contract a fabulous therapist, but we also were then able to put him on as a full-time staff member. Our gain... TheraKare's loss.

Our hospital and the Rehab department have been very happy with our TheraKare experience! I would highly recommend them when your needs dictate!"

Very sincerely and very satisfied...

"Dear Sir,
I am writing this email letter in appreciation of the help and guidance given to me by Mr. Chris Walton and Mr. Brad Jones of TravelKare. It is due to the professional guidance of these officials, that I am in the USA, working as an intern pharmacist. I am grateful to them for this. My special thanks to miss Jennifer Simmonds for the excellent guidance and flawless paper work as regards the visa processes, without which it would have been impossible for me to come to the USA.

Many Thanks! I sincerely thank the entire TravelKare family for helping me and wish them all good luck and great success in their endeavors."

"It is with great confidence that I recommend the professional services of Immigration Specialties.

In 1994 Immigration Specialties took over as exclusive vendor for visa and green card processing for most of the foreign-trained associates employed by Beverly Enterprises, Inc., and their subsidiaries. Their service and knowledge has been extremely helpful to the company.

Over the years, Beverly Enterprises, Inc., and their subsidiaries have hired and continue to hire an increasing number of foreign-trained associates. Immigration Specialties has continually provided us with excellent customer service and been able to timely process our files while maintaining accuracy and efficiency in the process.

Additionally, Immigration Specialties has provided to our company information packets and in-house training sessions that outlined each step in the immigration process and kept us up-to-date on constant changes concerning immigration regulations."

"Whew. Thank you Chey, FOR EVERYTHING. You've been a doll throughout this whole grueling process. Don't ever let anyone ever tell you that patience is not one of your virtues, because Morgan's case probably made you a candidate for sainthood!!!"

Will keep in touch.

"Dear Ms. Simmons:

I just wanted to let you know how thankful I am for the services you provided for me and my employer, Pacific Clay Products. In the Spring of 2000 you facilitated the acquisition of my H-1B. Since then, I have been working at Pacific, and got married in Novembre of 2001. Last week I received my permanent Resident Alien Card after a year and a half of paper trails. Had it not been for you and your staff, none of this would have been possible."

Again, thank you.

"Dear Chris,

My name is George Paltakis and I have used the services of your office in my pursuit to obtain legal status in the USA in order to work. I worked with Lola Kruse, Chey Benton and Amber Deason during the past 4 years to achieve this goal. The provision of service and their courtesy have been exemplary throughout this time. They have helped to answer questions from the simplest to the most complicated and were extremely patient and accurate in their explanations. The whole process went
smoothly, my expectations were met or exceeded and overall I would like to congratulate and thank all the above individuals for the help they provided. I will be receiving the Green Card in 3 weeks from the Homeland Security Dept and would definitely recommend your office to anyone who would like to go through the process. If you have the facility and would like to do so, please post my comments to your website. "

Thank you,

"Our company has recruited foreign trained professionals for over ten years. We managed our immigration form processing needs internally for most of that time but the administrative burden became too great. After a lot of frustration with other services, and until we started to work with IS about two years ago, we were unable to find an external service provider that we felt would do as thorough a job as we did internally. Our experience with IS is AAA across the board. The people there are knowledgeable, accessible, professional, responsive, and a pleasure to deal with. I look forward to a long relationship. "

"During the last few years, Immigration Specialties, Inc. has played an indispensable role in our ability to recruit workers from around the world. Due to their professionalism and complete knowledge of the complex immigration process, they have helped our company process over 25 employees. They have successfully and timely handled the H-1B Visa processes for initial entry, change of employer and change of status.

Without the support that Immigration Specialties, Inc. has provided, The Therapy Resource Center, Inc. would not have been able to survive and compete in this competitive world. In fact, we now view them as a significant member of our team and are extremely pleased to be associated with them. They have been and will continue to be our "one stop provider of choice."

Thank you very much for all your help and support. You did a great job, actually a lot more than you had to do.

"Dear Immigration Specialties:
We received both (green) cards last week. I was quite surprised to see mine but relieved that I didn't have to do anything. Thank you and your staff for all your assistance. I am going to try to convince our friends to move their paperwork...to your office. Even if you can't speed the process it is refreshing to speak to someone that genuinely cares and that has the answers to some of the complicated questions. Hope you have a good year and maybe we'll make it through Broken Arrow and visit you when we finally move from Texas."
Paul Saldanha

"Dear Jennifer:
You and your company have helped me a lot. Of course I won't mind having my comment posted on Express Yourself...When I found your website from Yahoo a week ago, I found the "Express Yourself" section and read those comments. To be quite honest, I doubted that they may be coined by the company. Now I understand that all of them are from people like me, who feel very grateful to the help you offered.

I know I have said it many times, but I want to say it again: Thank you. Thank you very much. You are so helpful and your reply is so timely. I wish I could express my grateful to you, but I just can't. You are so great! Thanks!"

"Immigration Specialties is a unique company. True Quality Service WITH the personal touch throughout the ENTIRE duration of each and every process that you go through. I did my research, checked with other people and other companies, but in the end I knew that Immigration Specialties would be the best for me. You would think "How Hard could it be... file a few papers"... but from my experience, issues arise, and you cannot believe how it could affect your whole life. You need someone that you can talk to, get answers from and most of all, a company that you can TRUST to do the best job possible for you, your family and your livelihood....Immigration Specialties is that Company! "

Natasha Meger
Occupational Therapist

“As a foreign trained physical therapist from the Netherlands I decided to file for permanent residency one year after arrival in the United States. I was referred to Immigration Specialties by a colleague of mine who received her greencard six months after she started the process. Unfortunately not everyone is as lucky as my colleague and along with many others a long waiting process started due to changes in I.N.S. policies.

Immigration Specialties has done an outstanding job arranging all required paperwork but most important to me is that still whenever there is a situation in which I feel I need advise concerning my immigration status, the staff of Immigration Specialties is always there to talk to. As I’m still waiting for my adjustment of status to come through, there have been many times when I needed a boost not to give up hope which is exactly what I found calling Immigration Specialties.

As it gets harder and harder to deal with I.N.S. I highly recommend Immigration Specialties for these matters based on their experience and the fact that they care.”

Jeroen Kleine Staarman
Physical Therapist

"Immigration Specialties has gone far beyond and above what I expected, demonstrating personal interest in helping me through the process, understanding in answering all of my questions and professional efficiency in helping me over both expected and unexpected hurdles. I would highly recommend their services to anyone facing the ordeal of working through the immigration process. "
