“I like the back and forth discussion that’s candid and honest. I’m looking forward to more intense discussions. They stay respectful but they elevate our learning platforms and learning processes so I think they’re necessary.”
“Joel does a really incredible job as the moderator of the meeting. We get an incredible amount of back and forth of “I do it this way or this is how I do it or I don’t do it at all” and Joel somehow always prevents it from turning into something where the audience is uncomfortable or the got attacked. It creates this ethos of the meeting where people are really willing to put their opinions out there and telling their honest opinions.”
“The reason I come back to Cosmetic Surgery Forum every year is because the environment is so intimate. We are constantly learning from each other in ways you just don’t see at other conferences. It’s more of a sharing of ideas then a lecture. It’s something that really sets Cosmetic Surgery Forum apart and will keep me coming back for years.”
“I attend a lot of meetings internationally and locally. Those meetings are either too big so you can’t speak or too small so people are afraid to speak. There are no hurt feelings at this meeting and that’s something I really like.”
“We are as physicians, never taught the business side of how to run our practices so it’s through meetings like Cosmetic Surgery Forum and discussions here, we learn both from what we’ve done correctly and incorrectly. By sharing those tips with our colleagues, we hope we can part this knowledge so they can grow their practice.”
