Gastroenterologist turned healthcare process consultant.
I’m Dr. Amir Atif. I no longer see patients. I help hospitals and health insurance companies cut friction out of how medical decisions get made, so care moves faster and costs less.

Healthcare Process Consulting
Better flow. Better care.
How I help
Hospitals
Clinical workflow review, GI service-line operations, and throughput. I look at where patients and clinicians wait, and fix the process behind it.
Health insurers
Medical policy, prior authorization, and utilization review. I bring a practicing specialist’s view to decisions that affect patients and providers.
