What Physicians Say
ABOUT Conventus
-
"The people at Conventus made my decision of who to trust with my malpractice insurance an easy one. My Conventus rep spent significant time with me to assure that I understood the company and that all of my questions were answered. She responded promptly to my questions and provided a personalized, comprehensive presentation of how becoming a Conventus member-owner would benefit me. I would definitely recommend Conventus to other New Jersey physicians."
- Lisa Barisciano, M.D. (Morris County)
-
"In November 2002, I took one of the largest ‘leaps of faith’ I have ever taken in joining and helping to capitalize a new physician owned reciprocal liability company: Conventus. Within the first 3 years, every good attribute of a physician owned and managed liability company was in place, implemented, and working, and Conventus is here to stay. Conventus is owned by the people who depend on it for liability coverage. You owe it to yourself to request a quote."
- Robert B Hill, M.D., FACS (Camden County);
Member, Conventus Board of Governors
-
"Conventus gives New Jersey physicians a way to take control of their liability insurance. I believe in Conventus because it is a not for profit company that is dedicated to New Jersey only. We cannot trust out-of-state commercial insurance companies to do what is in the best interest of New Jersey doctors. If you want to ensure that you can continue to practice in New Jersey, join Conventus."
- Anthony Tonzola, M.D. (Middlesex County)
-
"New Jersey’s physicians know there’s a crisis and have been asking for a solution. This is it. It’s time to unite and take concrete action. New Jersey physicians have an opportunity to take control of their medical malpractice insurance destiny, and not be left at the mercy of the commercial insurance market."
-Albert Talone, D.O. (Burlington County);
Chair, Conventus Board of Governors
-
"The physician ownership model is the only one that is proven to work in the long run to provide stable coverage at cost. In addition, Conventus is the only company that is actually governed by physicians, so the needs of New Jersey physicians are truly represented. In my opinion, the choice is an easy one."
-— Samuel The, M.D. (Bergen County)
