"Before the inspection, I was worried about surprises or unexpected requirements. However, AAFDO sent a pre-inspection checklist that made everything clear and streamlined.
​
Because of the way they conduct the inspection, I improved my documentation to increase patient safety and reduce liability.
The best thing about the inspection process was how organized everything was and the fantastic guidance provided. They were very courteous and professional.
​
If you are thinking about having AAFDO conduct your inspection, you should absolutely do it, it was a great experience!
