Our experience with Starfish has been a very positive experience. Their assessment of our business was spot on and very thorough. Their consultants were very professional and went above and beyond the scope of the project. The pricing for such a service was very fair and competitive. Thank you Starfish!

Strengths: Starfish Medical has been a trusted vendor of ours for a few years now. We've utilized their services for field studies, user interviews and competitive analysis, identifying key stakeholders, a distribution strategy and providing a risk analysis. The service they provided was excellent and thorough. Their report in the end was on point and helped us identify faults and positives in our business.

My company is small and we were fortunate enough to earn a substantial contact. It did not make sense to expand our facilities, but we also did not was to squander this opportunity. We reached out Starfish Medical to assist in the manufacture of medical devices based on our specifications. Not having worked with them before we were putting a high level of trust in them and they delivered with flying colors. Their speed wasn't the best, but they delivered in a reasonable time and with very high quality. We were so impressed that we decided to move some of our more establish products to them so we could focus on new prototypes. I've interacted with their customer service department and they have been great to work with. Always willing to work with us and answer our questions. Would highly recommend working with them.

We work with Starfish Medical to make our ideas a reality. We were bouncing around with various ideas of a new product, finally when we realized what we wanted we took it to starfish to design and manufacture it. The experience was amazing. They provided us with multiple prototypes for us to review, hate on or love. This actually made it harder for us because we loved them all. They are so innovative and offerent state of the art technology. They provided us with valuable advice and we enjoyed working with them throughout the process.

Strengths: service, pricing, responsive staff

We have procured Starfish Medical for design engagements for prototypes we have developed in the past. They are very knowledgeable, tech savvy and able to consult a design that was not only aesthetically pleasing, but very practical. Our team felt very comfortable working with Starfish Medical, as they went the extra mile to ensure we were a satisfied client. As a result, we are repeat customers and that is probably the best validation for these guys out there.


Strengths: High quality products, fast turnaround, very knowledgeable staff, competitive prices

Our firm sourced from Starfish Medical to design and manufacture medical devices for a client. The experience was fantastic. We have multiple prototypes that we wanted to design and Starfish was able to assist in many of the products. They are innovative and offer state of the art medical device technology.

Speed 3 / Price 3 / Quality 3

Very pleased with their ability to take our idea and general product requirements and turn them into a working prototype.

Very pleased with the pleasantness of the staff.

Not pleased with the lack of project management. Did not receive proactive status reports or even the simplest of time lines or budget tracking. No meeting agendas, no action items, no meeting minutes, and no communication when it was clear that they couldn't provide all the planned deliverables on time or on budget.

Strengths: Mechanical design
Industrial design
Brainstorming prototypes

Needs to improve: Lack of electrical engineering expertise Lack of project management
