1. John Fontana, MD, Surgery Center of Beaufort: “I attended the June conference with our center’s administrator. It was a GREAT conference! We found the topics relevant and more importantly they stimulated thoughts about improving our center. I have not previously been to an ASC Communications conference but will be attending another soon.”
2. William Maloney, MD, MPH SportsHealth: “I was impressed by the wide range of topics for the beginner to the experienced, and the many well-known experts who presented them. I highly recommend the conference to any individual or organization in the ASC space.”
3. Ramon Garcia, MD, Chicago Endoscopy Center: “I had a very enjoyable time at the conference, met very interesting and important individuals who I am now starting to do business with. I plan to be back.”
4. Lee Carlisle, MD, MARC Day Surgery Center: “I have to tell you that the ASC Communications conferences are my favorite. I find it the perfect combination of clinical and administrative topics. It has been so beneficial to attend these conferences to ensure that the direction is which we are going is the correct one. The ASC Communications conferences reinforce my facility’s current practices as well as help identify opportunities for improvements. I am already planning on attending the conference in October.”
5. Kenneth Pettine, MD, Loveland Surgery Center: “I have reviewed the meeting itinerary for October and have concluded if you are going to attend one meeting this year to learn how to make your ASC function better and anticipate the future, THIS is the meeting. The chance to network will be unsurpassed!”
6. Basil Besh, MD, Precision SurgiCenter: “This is the ambulatory surgery center conference to attend! All others pale in comparison. Perfect combination of economics, operations and predictions for the future, not to mention great guest speakers.”
7. Vicki Aten, First SurgiCenter: “This was one of the best, if not the best conference I have attended. I came back and told our medical director he really needed to go to this next year. I have tons of notes I now need to find time to go through!”
8. Rose Lopez, Midtown Outpatient Surgery Center: “I come from a hospital setting and am new to the ASC environment. The conference provided some helpful ideas on how to run the center in a more efficient and profitable way. I’m looking forward to the next conference.”
9. Victoria Caillet, Wooster Ambulatory Surgery Center: “I attended the conference three years ago prior to our ASC opening; the physician-owners thought it would help me get started. I returned this year and it was great to see what we do here reinforced with how other ASCs run. It makes me feel good that we are doing things right!”
10. Joy Moore, Oak Surgical Institute: “The presenters always provide professional and meaningful information. The opportunities for networking are endless at these events!”
