What our clients say
- "I highly recommend William O'Bannon. I contracted Dr. O'Bannon to work with me as a statistical consultant on my research as I worked toward earning my DNP. The quality of Bill’s work was exceptional. I felt entirely confident in his knowledge and expertise in research methods, statistics, and analysis. His analysis was very thorough and he produced exactly what I needed to answer my research questions. His write-up and summarization of my findings were excellent, with appropriate integration of text and supporting tables.
Bill was always available to me, very responsive, and was great with follow-up. The way in which Bill explained all of the statistical methods he used and the results of the analysis was clear and understandable. Bill was a pleasure to work with – always pleasant and sincere, with a great positive attitude. Even in the final hours of pre-defense, he was available for support and questions.
I am sure he would be an ideal asset to anyone needing a methodological or statistical consultant for their dissertation or research project. I certainly plan on continuing to work with him regarding future research projects."- Carol Porter, DNP, Chief Nursing Officer,MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas
