What
attendees had to say about ZHealth Publishing’s Interventional & Cardiology
Coding Conference in Orlando, FL — February 2006:
“Very helpful. Gave me time to go at my own pace, yet get the instruction, explanation and answers in class. I liked being able to ask questions throughout the conference. The vast number of examples is GREAT! The ½ day “basic” is a wonderful idea.”
Donna Cope, Radiology Coder
Methodist Health System
Dallas, TX
“Great variety to challenge every level of coder. Invaluable! Dr. Z’s explanations were understandable even at a basic coding level. Dr. Z gave plenty of time and attention to each question never leaving anyone feeling rushed or foolish in any way. Was worth every penny! Dr. Z explained everything from a standpoint that anyone could see as realistic and understand. He is a great teacher! Dr. Z’s step by step drawings added clarity to even the worst procedure settings or anatomy complications!”

“Although I do not code IR or cardiology on a regular basis, these classes have given me a basic knowledge and reference materials that help me do my job. I like being able to ask any question and not feeling as if the questions as “dumb”. Dr. Z answers all questions with answers that you can understand and you do not feel as if your questions were insignificant. I also like how casual the classes are.”

"Dr. Dunn & Dr. Z really know their stuff. I was totally impressed with their coding skills. I loved the feeling of the conference; informal, relaxed. A lot of information--I loved it!!
