Your charting, written by a physician. Delivered overnight.
Metro Research is a managed agency of licensed physicians providing US practices with EHR-ready clinical notes — every note doctor-prepared, independently quality-reviewed, and on your desk before morning clinic.
Documentation is eating your evenings
Physicians spend close to two hours on EHR work for every hour of patient care. The usual fixes both fall short:
Typists can’t think clinically
Conventional scribes transcribe what they hear. They do not catch a missed allergy, a dosing inconsistency, or an absent safety-net instruction — they have never managed a patient.
AI scribes still hallucinate
Fast, improving — and still inventing medications and dropping pertinent negatives. Unreviewed AI drafts are risk you sign your own name under.
Our answer: physician + AI + audit
A licensed physician prepares your note with AI-assisted speed, an independent audit verifies it against the source encounter, and you get an EHR-ready draft by morning.
How it works
You record as usual
Dictate a summary or record the visit (with consent) in your existing workflow. Async by design — nothing changes in your clinic day.
A physician drafts your note
A vetted licensed physician produces a structured SOAP note in your house format — full history, pertinent negatives, matched assessment and plan, safety-netting.
Audited, then delivered
An independent quality review compares every note against the source for hallucinations, omissions, and consistency. Delivery before your next clinic morning.
Three ways to fix documentation. One has a physician in it.
| Metro Research | US scribe services | AI-only scribes | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who writes your note | Licensed physician | Trained typist | Software |
| Catches clinical errors | Yes — plus an independent audit on every note | Rarely | No — can introduce them |
| Cost per provider | $1,200/month flat | $2,500–3,500/month | $99–500/month + your review time |
| Pricing published | Yes — right here | Usually “book a call” | Yes |
| Contract | Month-to-month, cancel anytime | Often annual | Monthly |
| Free pilot on your real encounters | Two weeks | Rare | Self-serve trial |
Built compliance-first
BAA before PHI
A Business Associate Agreement is executed before a single record moves — with offshore-specific security provisions and an explicit ban on using your PHI to train AI models.
Named access only
You know exactly which credentialed physicians touch your charts. Individual confidentiality agreements. Access revoked same-day on offboarding.
Your review, your record
Every note is a draft for the treating provider’s signature. We protect your time — never your authority over the medical record.
Trained to your workflows
This is what lands in your EHR
An excerpt from a sample note (fictional patient). Note the [VERIFY] flag — our physicians mark ambiguity for your confirmation instead of guessing. That flag is the whole philosophy.
Subjective
J.M., 58F, follow-up of hypertension and T2DM. Reports adherence to lisinopril 20 mg daily; denies chest pain, dyspnea, orthopnea, or visual changes. Home BP log averages 128/82. No hypoglycemic episodes. [VERIFY: patient mentioned occasional ankle swelling — duration unclear]
Objective
BP 130/84, HR 72, BMI 29.1. Labs 06/2026: HbA1c 7.1% (prior 7.8%), eGFR 74. Fundoscopic exam not documented this visit.
Assessment
1. Essential hypertension — controlled on current therapy. 2. Type 2 diabetes — glycemic control improving.
Plan
1. Continue lisinopril 20 mg PO daily; BMP in 3 months. 2. Continue metformin 1000 mg PO BID; repeat HbA1c in 3 months. 3. Safety-netting: return precautions reviewed for chest pain and severe headache; annual retinal screening due — referral offered.

Questions physicians ask us
Who exactly writes my notes?
Licensed physicians (MBBS and postgraduate-qualified) selected through a written clinical documentation examination that fewer than one in ten applicants pass. Documentation is their focused professional work, not a side task.
Is this HIPAA compliant?
We operate under a signed Business Associate Agreement with every client, restrict PHI to named individuals, use encrypted channels or your own systems, and never use your data for anything beyond your documentation. Our BAA is available for your counsel’s review before anything begins.
What about my AI scribe?
Keep it if it serves you. Several workflows run our physician review on top of AI-generated drafts — AI speed with a clinician verifying every medication, dose, and omission before you sign.
Why is this less expensive than US services?
Geography, not corner-cutting. Our physicians work where excellent clinical talent costs less, and we pay them well above local norms. You get the arbitrage; they get fair pay; quality is the whole point.
Why Metro Research exists
US clinics are drowning in documentation while some of the best-trained, English-fluent physicians in the world are underused in Pakistan. We built the trust layer that connects them: rigorous selection, an independent audit on every note, HIPAA-grade data handling, and fair pay on both sides of the bridge. No note leaves without a physician behind it — that is the entire company.
Two weeks. Zero risk. Your own patients’ notes.
Send us a week of encounters and judge the notes yourself. If they are not the cleanest documentation you have received, walk away owing nothing.
Metro Research provides clinical documentation support services. All notes are delivered as drafts for review and signature by the treating provider, who retains final clinical and legal responsibility for the medical record. Metro Research does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
