When a forensic medical review is requested for one of your cases, the quality of that report alone can determine whether or not the case settles out of court and how much time and money must be spent in resolving the matter. So, if the forensic reports you're dealing with are of inferior quality, refer your panel company or expert witness to Independent Medical Transcription, Inc. We are the experts at transcribing:
IMEs
peer reviews
addendum reports
medical record reviews
multispecialty panel exams
… and more!

Is Consistent Formatting Really So Important?
YES! The layout of your report to a large extent determines the speed and efficiency with which you or anyone who reads it can locate vital information.
If you need to make an important point in front of a judge but can't find the specific detail you're looking for, your testimony may falter.
A well-written, carefully formatted, and easy-to-digest document may win cases on its own merits, without you ever setting foot in a courtroom.
We may be the experts in readability, but ultimately it's you who will be making use of your report, so you'll always have the final say!

Transcription Experience: 22 years Education: University of Wisconsin—Green Bay (1985); American Institute for Paralegal Studies (1995) Other Experience: Camera operator (19 years); legal secretary (3 years) Brief Bio: Yes, it’s cold in Wisconsin! But for me and my Sphynx friend Ella, we spend winters in Florida, so it’s all good. I have been transcribing for 20+ years and can do all manner of different medical specialties.
“To work at a place like IMT where the people actually genuinely care—about the work, about the workers, about the customers—is the best gig in the world!”

“Working for IMT means great administrative support and flexible scheduling.”
Nicole H. from South Carolina
Transcription Experience: 21 years Other Experience: Personal injury paralegal Brief Bio: I enjoy medical transcription because each medical record for each patient is like learning a different story. It definitely keeps my job interesting and adds a lot of variety to my work. With five children and lots of pets, transcription has been the ideal job for keeping us close together as a family. In our spare time, we love to do volunteer work, camp, hike, and play with the “baby” of the family—our sweet Maltipoo Blake.
“IMT really impresses me as a company because of the meticulous requirements for grammar, formatting, and deadlines. It really shows a dedication to the field.”
Christen B. from Washington
Transcription Experience: 16 years Favorite Specialties: Orthopedics and psychology Brief Bio: I started in 2005 with orthopedics, transcribing all facets: pain management, physical therapy, chiropractic, massage, and surgery. I am also a health and fitness fanatic, lifting weights, tracking macros, and eating clean 24/7, hoping to take the stage before I am 50!
“I feel extremely blessed to have this kind of company to transcribe for. There is the utmost effort to produce 110% quality and nothing less. I am a better transcriptionist because of IMT, and I learn something every single day!”
Chris M. from Ohio
Transcription Experience: 21 years Education: Andrews School (2003) Favorite Specialties: Neurosurgery, neurology, and orthopedics Brief Bio: A lot of the work I've done in the past had been clinic work, but I did have the opportunity to do some workers' comp/IME reports, which were always very interesting to me. That is what drew me to IMT. I have been an MT from my home for 16+ years as I raised my three children as a single parent and now have the joy of helping to raise my grandson. Whenever possible, I like taking my dog for a walk in a nearby park and spending time with my grandson.
“What gets lost in the big MTSOs is a sense of camaraderie and teamwork. I love working with IMT where I'm treated as a person and not a machine.”

Transcription Experience: 23 years Education: Pinellas Technical Education Centers (1998); Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology (University of South Florida, 2013) Other Experience: Practice manager; project coordinator Brief Bio: I completed medical transcription school in 1998.

Additionally, I have worked in-house for two orthopedic surgery practices, managing the transcription department and working as a coordinator for outsourced transcription.

Transcription Experience: 27 years Education: At Home Transcription (Colorado) Other Experience: Certified personal trainer (7 years) Brief Bio: I have worked as a medical transcriptionist for 25+ years, and while I have typed for a lot of different specialties, my favorite would be cardiology. Besides transcription, my other passion is exercise. In my “spare time,” I teach group exercise classes at a local Y. I teach 13 classes a week. Thank goodness I love to work out!
“The best part of working for IMT is the consistency and high expectations of all to produce a clear, concise report. The feedback is so helpful from everyone.”
Courtney M. from Illinois
Transcription Experience: 17 years Education: University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign (minor in community health) Brief Bio: I discovered the transcription field by pure dumb luck while pursuing a second college degree, and I’ve never looked back. When I’m not playing chauffeur to two very active teenagers, you can find me at my desk with my “office assistants” close by.
“IMT has been my transcription home for many, many years. I love the high standards we are held to. We are constantly learning and improving and are valued as transcriptionists. There’s no better place to be!”
Julie E. from Illinois
Transcription Experience: 18 years Education: Western Governor's University (2017) Other Experience: Transcription supervisor; account manager Brief Bio: I have done IME work for 3+ years now, touching briefly on it before then. I also have supervisory experience as being an account manager for multiple clients and supervising 15+ transcriptionists at a time. This included the hiring of new transcriptionists and also doing all of their training and performing QA on all of their work until they were ready to be released on their own. I recently obtained my bachelor of science degree in health informatics, during which I learned much about HIPAA regulations and guidelines. I have a loving husband and two awesome “kids” ages 18 and 23. We are definitely animal lovers, and we have three dogs and a pet snake at the moment. We always have a variety of pets in our home to care for.
Esther O. from Washington
Transcription Experience: 24 years Education: Associate of Science in Nursing; Bachelor of Science in Nursing Other Experience: Registered nurse Brief Bio:Aloha kākou — Hello everyone. I am originally from the island of O‘ahu but now live in Washington state. In my spare time, I like to try new cuisines and, weather permitting, to explore the outdoors or different places with family and friends. Prior to transcribing medical reports, I specialized in many areas in my nursing career (nearly a decade): med-surg, postpartum (hospital setting), and float nurse in various departments. My favorite department to work in was postpartum.
“Working with IMT, one can find lōkahi — unity expressed with harmony.”
Michelle R. from Georgia
Transcription Experience: 22 years Education: Louisiana State University (BA in secondary education) Favorite Specialty: Orthopedics Brief Bio: Transcription is a second career for me, but I have 20+ years of experience under my belt. I can do pretty much any specialty, but I'm especially proficient at orthopedics. I am the most uncoordinated person you'll ever meet so don't play sports, but I LOVE watching sports, any sport, live or on TV, but especially college football and baseball.
“I am enjoying perfecting a new skill set and love the challenging and interesting work I do with IMT! I have never worked for a company who cares about their finished product as much as they do.”
Elizabeth B. from Nevada
Transcription Experience: 32 years Other Experience: Law enforcement transcription Favorite Specialties: Psychiatry, neurology/TBI, and orthopedics Brief Bio: I currently live in Fallon, Nevada, home of Top Gun!

For over 10 years, I had the privilege of managing a medical transcription service organization, with clients including Stanford Hospital, Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, and UCSF.
