PRESENT and LACPMA still lead the country in Quality, the Experience at the meeting, and vendors positive comments.
Jack Morgan, DPM
Strong focus on practice management and new modalities to help enhance patient care and increase revenue.
Chih-Hui Tsai, DPM
I think the workshops were more valuable with real world information that transferable to our practices. Also, the exhibitors were outgoing and friendly and helpful.
Alfred Lawrence Glover, DPM
Coming from Chicago it was refreshing traveling to LA and meeting my colleagues that have not seen in years. Being at the conference allowed me to compare and contrast some treatment like infections.
Johnnie Lewis, DPM
I attended this conference because I wanted to go to one that focuses on the business of medicine in general. I appreciate the different mix of vendors. I plan to attend next year!
