2007 Chicago, IL Conference Testimonials

What attendees had to say about ZHealth Publishing’s Interventional & Cardiology Coding Conference in Chicago IL — May 2007:

“I thought both physicians did a great job of relating difficult & complex information in a straightforward & efficient manner. Additionally sense of humor; a welcome relief as one attempt to digest, assimilate, & understand such voluminous & complex material without imploding. Dr. Dunn’s class was very beneficial. Overall I am very pleased with my choice to attend this conference & I believe that Dr. Z’s knowledge & experience, and his ability to convey that was a worthwhile investment in my career as a coder. The 2007 IR coding book by Dr. Z is excellent – lots of helpful hints & tips. The power point presentation is very efficient & relevant a rarity in comparison to some seminars where that is all you receive as a handout. We need real-life examples to relate those informational slices to and both Dr. Dunn & Dr. Z provided that. Very useful again real life scenarios are required when trying to understand this complex specialty.”
