Amy Anderson is one of those lucky few who found her calling at age 18 when she started to work part-time in a plastic surgeon’s office as a pre-med student. In the 20+ years since then, Amy has worn virtually every hat, from front desk receptionist, prior authorizations, billing and accounts receivables, to management, human resources, strategic marketing, and business administration. She intimately understands what it takes to run a practice.
Amy’s career has included jobs in private practices, as well as managing a hospital-based multi-specialty group and an academic division. She is extremely sensitive to the fact that every practice is unique which is why Amy and her partner, Cheyenne Brinson, have made customization a cornerstone of BrinsonAnderson Consulting. They take their combined decades of experience and know-how, and adapt best practices to each client’s unique environment and practice settings.
Amy’s passion is to coach her clients into becoming the best version of themselves. She is also a bit of a surgeon whisperer, able to handle even the most difficult temperament while still keeping her cool. Amy is never interested in accolades or getting credit for that great idea, even when it’s hers. She is all about getting the job done and getting it done well. The thrill for Amy is being able to partner with her clients, identify goals and action items, and seeing them actually come to fruition. The end game is to work herself out of job, setting up the client to successfully run his or her own practice.
A lifelong Midwesterner, Amy earned an M.B.A. and B.S. from Indiana University. While working at KarenZupko & Associates, she lived in Chicago where she met her husband, Ben, an orthopaedic surgery physician assistant. Amy and Ben now reside in Indianapolis with their canine companions, Pippa and Lucy. Amy and Ben are fitness enthusiasts and adventure seekers. In fact, when they honeymooned in South Africa and Zimbabwe, they bungee jumped over Victoria Falls. Their most recent epic adventure was to Antarctica in January 2024.
