Testimonials

 


I can honestly say that this is the best medical conference I have ever attended. It was convenient, affordable, full of excellent content, and allowed for ongoing networking with experts in the menopause field. I have learned a huge amount of new material and have developed new professional relationships that will bring lasting value to my practice. I'm planning to become a SoMeDoc member. Thank you Dana for putting this on.
- F. Ames Smith Jr. MD, breast surgeon, attendee


Although it's fantastic that non-clinical folks have access to such amazing information, as a physician, I had trepidation joining the conference thinking this would result in not being high yield and too basic. However, I am very impressed at high yield speakers and how much I have learned! I am a HUGE advocate for patient education and am happy to see that the speakers were high caliber and translated academic jargon and complex scientific analysis that comes with traditional clinician conferences without diluting the information and maintaining clinical detail with nuance into something all could digest and benefit from. As a result, this created high yield lectures with substance that made it easier for a physician outside the field of expertise to capture. Simultaneously, the lectures provided the non-clinicians deeper understanding of the great evidence based information so they can understand their medical challenges better and allow for more productive discussions with their clinicians about their health. It also gave me ideas to explain complex information in a way a patient can understand more easily. Finally, the different ticket categories made it affordable and accessible to a larger audience. Thank you SoMeDocs! I am looking forward to more of these conferences.
- Ivvanee Martinez MD FACOG, attendee


Amazing conference! Love your platform and the way you amplify the voices and expertise of these talented experts. As I move forward into a new women's health practice later this year, I look forward to joining your network.
- Phyllis Nsiah-Kumi, MD, MPH, attendee


This was my first SoMeDocs event and I wasn’t sure what to expect . I was pleasantly surprised, everyone was welcoming and supportive. Great range of stages and experience of people attending. Really inspiring. The event has made me interested to explore the profiles of people who attended , and I’m looking forward to the next conference.
- Sophie Ball, MBChB, attendee


Excellent conference presented by experts truly passionate about and committed to peri-and menopausal health. I learned so much from everyone and now have a larger network with whom to consult! Can’t wait for the next one! There is so much to learn and know about menopause and there is a continuous stream of information coming out so a conference like this an important opportunity to keep up!
- Mercedes Castiel, MD, speaker


"I was trying to decide which menopause conference to go to and I’m really glad I chose this one. Not only were the speakers experts in their field, but they all came from different plans to give a well rounded view on the conference topic. They weren’t just experts. They were entrepreneurs, authors, and highly sought after in their field. I left the conference feeling so incredibly inspired."
- Carla Podgurecki, MD, obesity and wellness physician, attendee


"Dr. Corriel has turned virtual conferences into solid, educational learning experiences while making the networking interactive and fun. "
