MicroMD pins future on e-files

BOARDMAN — Ajit Kumar thought his expansion problems were solved in 2005 when his company moved into a new building.

Microsys Computing’s 40 employees filled just half of the space.

Three years later, he knows that he didn’t dream big enough.

The rapidly expanding company — now known as Henry Schein Medical Systems — is up to 60 employees and Kumar is looking to hire more. He figures he will have 75 to 80 workers within 18 months, and the 20,000-square-foot building on Boardman-Canfield Road will be full.

When the building went up, about 7,000 doctors in 36 states were using the company’s MicroMD software system, which handles billing, scheduling and other practice management needs.

Today, MicroMD is used by 13,000 doctors in nearly every state.

Growth exploded after Kumar merged his company into Henry Schein, a medical supplier based in Melville, N.Y., which has $6 billion in annual sales.
