What colleagues and organizers say
“Dr. Valenzuela is not just a leader in the medical industry, he might be THE LEADER—his progressive and outside-of-the-box approach to our field is truly taking us to the next level. I had the pleasure of attending a seminar that Dr. Valenzuela facilitated, which was essentially a case study, where I felt that I learned more in just one hour than I had the entire two days previous.”
