Alberto Serra's Review Sourced from Google
My wife and I joined Advanced Wellness MD at the beginning of 2026 after becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the traditional primary care experience we had received from previous providers. We were looking for a practice that truly focused on wellness, healthy aging, quality of life, preventative care, and helping us live not just longer lives, but healthier and more fulfilling ones. Thankfully, we found exactly that with Advanced Wellness MD.
Our concierge primary care provider, Carla Chromik, has been absolutely wonderful. She is knowledgeable, attentive, thoughtful, and truly committed to helping us feel our best. Carla takes the time to listen, explain, guide, and look at our health from a complete wellness perspective. We never feel rushed or treated like just another appointment. We feel cared for, respected, and supported.
The entire team has exceeded our expectations in every possible way. Lisa, Liz, and Olivia are truly amazing and make everything happen like magic. They are professional, kind, highly organized, and incredibly responsive. Whether we need help with questions, scheduling, referrals, blood work, imaging, or coordinating with specialists, they handle everything quickly, efficiently, and with genuine care.
A perfect example of their outstanding service happened when I suddenly developed severe knee pain and could barely walk. The team responded with urgency, kindness, and incredible efficiency. They helped me get the imaging I needed and secured an urgent orthopedic appointment with Dr. Patrick King very quickly. Their support during that stressful situation meant so much to me and reminded us why having a caring and responsive medical team makes such a difference.
The concierge care model at Advanced Wellness MD has completely transformed the way we experience healthcare. Instead of rushed appointments and reactive medicine, we now feel like we have a true healthcare partner invested in our long-term wellness and overall quality of life. Joining this practice has been one of the best healthcare decisions we have ever made, and we highly recommend Advanced Wellness MD to anyone in Central Florida seeking personalized, proactive, and compassionate care.
A million thanks!

I cannot speak highly enough of this clinic and the entire wonderful and dedicated team that works there. I have the privilege of being cared for by Carla who has quite literally enabled me to have hope again. I am a particularly tricky and complex case that Carla dove head first into investigating. Some of the insights she has been able to provide through her diligent investigative work has allowed me to finally start recovering after years of prolonged chronic illness. None of this would have been possible had it not been for the hard work of Carla and the rest of the superb team at Advances Wellness.

Dr Barnes is the best doctor you will ever have. She will make your life so much easier on so many levels. Especially in this day and age with things being so complex in the medical world it’s much easier to work with a concerige doctor. When I’m sick I don’t want to have to go to an office and expose myself to other infections. It’s really nice when you’re sick and tired to have easy access to medical care by texting for help and having a virtual visit set up. It’s also important to have a doctor helping you to stay healthy and being proactive with the largest breakthroughs. She has kept me from having to pay for specialists on many occasions. Her staff especially Lisa is truly amazing. They care so much. This is truly a gem of a place.

Rocket Ivy has been the best web designer I could ever imagine to work with! My website is everything I dreamed of and more! With Shopify I wouldn't be able to have the customizations and uniqueness I get with Rocket Ivy...AND I own my website (with Shopify you don't!). The response time and quality of work is really amazing! I am so happy to be working with Rocket Ivy! Running your own business is HARD WORK...thank you Sean for making my life a little easier with my amazing website!! :D

According to Mordor Intelligence, operations consulting held 29.28% of the global consulting market share in 2024, while technology advisory is forecast to grow at a 6.48% CAGR through 2030.Â
How much do business consulting services in the US cost?
Business consulting fees vary based on experience level, firm size, and project complexity. General management consulting hourly rates range from $75 for less experienced consultants to $175-$325 for those with 15+ years of experience.
According to Consulting Success's 2023 survey of nearly 1,000 consultants, 29% of consultants use hourly rates as their primary pricing model. McKinsey senior partners charge $1,193.57 per hour according to the 2024 General Services Administration federal supply lists, while engagement managers cost $834.40 per hour.
Common pricing models include:

Should I hire a large consulting firm or a boutique agency?
The choice between the two depends on your specific needs, budget, and project scope.
Type of firmÂ
ExpertiseÂ
Why to hire it
Large consulting firmÂ
Extensive global resourcesÂ
Deep industry expertise across multiple sectorsÂ
Established methodologies
Ability to deploy large teams for complex, multi-faceted engagementsÂ
Broad capabilitiesÂ
Global reach
Recognized brand credibility for stakeholder buy-inÂ
Boutique consulting agencyÂ

Specialized niche expertise
Greater flexibility in engagement models
More competitive pricing
Deep specialization
Hands-on partner attention
More cost-effective engagement structure
According to Mordor Intelligence, large enterprises accounted for 71.29%Â of 2024 consulting spend, yet small and medium-sized enterprises are projected to record the fastest growth at 7.04% CAGR through 2030, driven by fractional consulting models and subscription-based advisory.Â
How long do business consulting projects usually take?
Project timelines vary significantly based on scope, complexity, and organizational readiness.Â
Quick diagnostic assessments and targeted analyses typically take 2-6 weeks.
Standard strategy development, operational improvement, or organizational design projects generally require 2-4 months.
Large-scale transformation initiatives, including digital transformation, M&A integration, or enterprise-wide change programs, often span 6-18 months or longer.
According to McKinsey research, only 30% of transformation efforts succeed overall, with digital transformations being even more challenging, often requiring sustained commitment over multiple years.
What is the typical consulting process?
Most consulting engagements follow a structured methodology designed to ensure thorough analysis and actionable outcomes.
The typical process includes:
Discovery and analysis: Understanding your business context, gathering data, conducting stakeholder interviews, and diagnosing root causes
Strategy development: Synthesizing findings, developing options, and creating strategic recommendations aligned with your objectives
Recommendations presentation: Delivering insights and proposed solutions with supporting rationale and expected outcomes
Implementation support: Assisting with execution, change management, and overcoming organizational barriers
Performance review: Measuring results against objectives, refining approaches, and ensuring sustainable impact
According to Consulting Success, 51% of consultants using value-based fees have an average project value of $10,000 or more, compared to 39% of consultants using hourly fees.
