Chiropractic, Massage & Rehab Success Seminar!
PRAISE FOR DR. NECELA’s SEMINARS
I lecture on documentation and other topics to doctors around the country and Dr. Tom Necela knows more on coding, billing and audit protection than anyone I have seen. His presentation skills are excellent, making such a topic entertaining as well as easy to understand and implement. – Joe Betz, DC (Boise, ID)
This was my 3rd Strategic Chiropractor seminar! I keep coming back because it’s always fresh material and a great refresher! – Alastair Harper, DC (Issaquah, WA)
This is information you cannot afford to miss! — Bruce Hurst, DC (Chelan, WA)
I spent $1500 in airfare for Diane and I to attend your seminar in Seattle and it was worth every penny. I am certain to recoup the investment with a couple of simple changes in our billing and documentation procedures. Thank you. What a blessing it is to have you on our side in the ongoing insurance battle!
—Doug DeShazo, DC (Palmer, AK)
The best seminar I have ever been to! —Jeremy Anderson, DC (Grandview, WA)
Yours was the first documentation seminar that I left encouraged and confident instead of intimidated and confused! – Tom West, DC (Ketchum, ID)
Packed full of information that is just not covered in other seminars! — Scott Matz, DC (Missoula, MT)
What a great seminar! Good information with a rock star delivery! — Dave Ludwick, DC (Bothell, WA)
Tom, I am so glad that I have attended your seminars! You have given me so much USEFUL information that no other seminar has ever covered. Plus, you answer my questions in detail. Thank you so much for all you do for us.
—Michele Newcomer, DC (Portland, OR)
I learned a ton through being empowered and without the scare tactics!
