What Attendees Are Saying
Desert Foot was an excellent meeting, even for someone who's been practicing for a long time. The lecturers were excellent; how often do you get to see Guido LaPorta and Robert Fryberg speaking. The topics were interesting, and they showed me that my practice was running well, and up to date with current concepts of care.
