"Caryn Loffman is an incredible person, provider and counselor. The patients that we treat are always our top priority so when speaking to doctors like me she has away of getting us to remember this. When coaching, she doesn’t tell us what to do but helps us figure out what we need to do exceed. We all make mistakes and Caryn helps us reflect and learn from these encounters. Self reflection is something that Caryn has helped me work on. I had been doing it already but did not recognize it. Now that I am aware of self reflection I can readily see a problem as a situation that can be first recognized and then ultimately be improved upon if not solved. I recall one busy day in the ED and being pulled in different directions. I was answering a paramedic call and a family member asked me question while I was on the phone. I was not so nice in my response. I did not care for how I reacted, reflected and decided I had a chance to redeem myself and I apologized to them. This is just one example."
- Dr. C. Fernandez
Caryn’s empathic nature not only means she is a delight to work with, but also that she is able to quickly understand my perspective, diagnose what’s going on in a difficult interaction, and help me process it from my point of view. She also brings to her work a deep knowledge about effective communication and leadership, including specific tools for improvement. That framework has helped me grow as a leader.
- Dr. H. Lipman, MD, MS, HEC-C
"Caryn is incredibly skilled at recognizing what it takes for a physician to be successful. I’m amazed how easily she analyzes a complex process then offers simple solutions that work. I’ve been blessed to have worked closely with her in my career development."
- Dr. D Finefrock
"Caryn has a unique ability to observe all aspects of a doctor patient interaction. From the body language to the subtlties of language and communication, her insights consistently reflect and highlight the most essential aspects of the encounter, the physician themselves with all their personal history and perspectives, and the most acute and relevant issues at play – for the patient and the physician. Caryn translates her insightful observations with an impressive ability to transform them into reflections that guide the physician to self-reflect and think about their own professional identity formation. Caryn then gently but clearly pushes them towards next steps in their growth, the nature of which can vary widely."
- Dr. M. Hoffman
"Thanks to Caryn's coaching, I was able to objectify my thinking and see how I was getting in my own way. With the added clarity facilitated by her listening skills and strategic questioning, I was able to remove barriers and be more solution focused. I highly recommend Caryn as a coach."
- B. Fern, Executive Coach

"Coaching with Caryn has been such a blessing. Her warm, caring demeanor helped me feel accepted for who I am right now and supported in where I want to go. She is so personable and has a reassuring sense of humor which makes our sessions fun and meaningful. Caryn has helped me see my own potential in reaching my goals and has supported me every step of the way. I am so grateful for her as a person and coach."
