About

Our History

In 1963, Tulsa Adjustment Bureau (TAB Services) founder Charles P. Garrison set out with a clear vision: serve the collection needs of Oklahoma’s medical providers and create a standard of excellence recognized in the collection industry. His father and older brother were both doctors, so Charles understood the important balance between providing excellent medical care and receiving reimbursement for services. This formed the founding principle that would come to define TAB Services: believing in the dignity and importance of the individual while exercising firmness and fairness.

As Charles prepared for retirement, he found a successor in Phillip W. Smith. Phillip has been employed with TAB Services since 1987, working his way up from a collector into sales and marketing, then becoming Charles’s Senior Vice President. As Charles stepped back in 2013, Phillip stepped up, purchasing the company and becoming President. Charles trusted and empowered Phillip to be successful, and now Phillip gives those same assurances to his employees. His goal is to build on the foundation of excellence, integrity, and dignity that Charles established.

Today, TAB provides the most effective, high quality collections by serving the needs of the medical, retail, and commercial markets from their office located in Tulsa’s landmark CityPlex Towers. While keeping up with the ever-changing collections industry, TAB holds fast to the fundamentals of professionalism, results, and a people-centered perspective.

TAB Services is proud to be a member of the American Collectors Association, the Better Business Bureau of Tulsa, and the Tulsa Chamber of Commerce.
