What Folks are Saying About the #ITninjas

John C. Hall, DDS, MS

Owner
Hall Periodontics & Dental Implants

Ben at Affinity has been very helpful in bringing (and keeping) my medium-sized specialty office network system up to date. He has demonstrated excellent response times when emergencies have come up over the past eight years. I would highly recommend him for your business technology needs.

Cathy Dilts Carter, CPNP

Practice Manager
Kids Creek Children’s Clinic, PC

The folks at Affinity are very helpful and knowledgeable. They always respond as soon as possible to our requests - especially emergencies. I'm amazed at how well they remember all of our staff's names and are friendly and polite, but not intrusive while in our office. We are an office where confidentiality is required and they are very sensitive to that! Great group to work with!

Miki Milo

Warehouse Manager
Fustini's Oils & Vinegars

Affinity Technology Group is an outstanding organization filled with the most helpful and responsive people in the market. Ben and his team are always here to help when needed (and very quickly!). I would highly recommend Ben and his team at Affinity for any and all IT services!

Steve Hall, DDS

Owner
Suttons Bay Dental Center

Ben and his team helped us streamline our office network and shore up possible security vulnerabilities. He is personable, efficient, and extremely knowledgeable. I continue to recommend him to anyone for IT needs.

Peg Deveraux

Practice Administrator
Pulmonary & Critical Care of Northwest Michigan

Our practice moved IT partnership to Affinity in 2018 and we have been completely impressed. The response time is amazing, which is critical when trying to operate a physician's office. The staff is also top notch. They are quick to communicate, professional, and understanding of our needs. I can't say enough good things about this company and their service!

Chelsea Guzzo, DDS

Managing Partner
Third Coast Dental Group

The #ITninjas are the best! We tried a few different IT providers prior to switching our business to Affinity. The entire Ninja team has always been helpful and pleasant; supreme customer service! They have helped us integrate new technology and safeguard what we have. Thanks, Ben and Team! You guys rock!

Jennifer White-Seymour, DDS

Owner
Brite White Dental

I could not be more impressed by this IT company. I have been through three others and their vast knowledge is staggering! They are on any issue we encounter quickly and find the resolution just as fast. Love them and so glad they are a part of my team!

The team at Affinity helps to keep our business growing by maintaining our IT needs and objectives and, most importantly, protecting our clients' information. Finding an IT company that can truly deliver while remaining affordable is a rare find in the tech world. Highly recommend!

After all, it is good to know who you’re trusting your IT needs to, right? Our team has been providing quality, comprehensive IT support to the Northwest Michigan community since its inception in 2005. Managing Director (and Master #ITninja) Ben Blissett embodies the philosophy of offering top-notch customer service and a best-in-class technology experience with affordable IT solutions, always with a compassionate, optimistic approach, and a genuine smile.

So who is this shiny chrome dome that all these healthcare clinics and practices across Michigan trust to handle their day-to-day and long-term technology needs? Well, that's me! How about that?

I've been enveloped in the Information Technology industry for over twenty years (hold on a tic ... yeah, that's about right), having been in the middle of everything from network engineering to computer maintenance to web development to application development. In the fall of 2005, it was time to try my own thing!

My professional experience has always been all about client educational technology, and I've always prided myself as being the 'comfortable catalyst' between technology and the end user (hence our "affinity").

I find my vocation's greatest satisfaction to be working one-on-one with my doctors, nurses, and business owners to make the technology aspect of their lives more understandable (and enjoyable!). Developing lasting professional relationships and establishing long-term trust with my client base is of utmost importance to me.

But wait a minute here. It's not just about me. It's about this absolutely fantastic team I have with me. You'll only get to the top if you have the right people, after all! I'd like to say I got lucky with all of these awesome peeps that have helped make us what we are, but lucky has nothing to do with it. It's hard, honest work with careful attention to detail, always striving to truly be the best at what we do, and, well, to be frank, a constant and perpetual downpour of blessings from the Big Guy upstairs.

Affinity provides best-in-class, compliance-focused IT services to over 150 small businesses in Michigan, from lovely lakeside Ludington over to East Lansing and all the way up to (and beyond) Alpena and the Mighty Mac. We proudly maintain a strong and loyal customer base all throughout the state (and even into others), focusing on dental and specialty healthcare IT integration, regulatory standards and security, educational technology, state and local municipalities, and modern, applicable business technology.

If you've been referred to Affinity, you're certain to have been told that this optimistic, personable, goofy bald dude is exactly who you're looking for if you want to make technology work optimally for your clinic, practice, or organization. That's because I do things differently (and I'm not just saying that like everyone else does). Ask around, ask your dentist, or give us a holler and see for yourself. You'll be glad you did!

Cheers!
Ben
