Braveheart Orthopedic Surgeon,  Dr. Daniel Paull!  In his words ...."So I let it all go. No coders, no billers, no insurance companies, no clunky EMR. It’s only my patients and me. I am providing much better care, not because I am a better doctor than I once was, but because I get to spend more time with each of my patients."  Linkedin mensch Dr. Matt Barber joins us for this inspiring conversation!
