Each year the American Academy of Ophthalmology holds a meeting for all ophthalmologists, technicians/assistants, and executives in order for them to continue their education, strengthen their skills, and expand their minds.  This year the annual meeting was held at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, LA.  Additionally, companies related to Ophthalmology are invited to attend and showcase themselves at Exhibition Hall which spans (almost) the entire length of the Convention Center (which was 3/4 mile in length and made for some great exercise).

Dr. Bodker attended his Specialty Meeting on Friday for the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Also in attendance were both of our Glaucoma and Cataract surgeons, Dr. Carl Migliazzo and Dr. Sara O’Connell.

Our Practice Administrator and Assistant attended the American Association of Ophthalmology Executives meeting.   At the opening session, the AAOE Board of Directors was introduced (which includes our very own Practice Administrator) and everyone enjoyed a marvelous guest speaker, Scott Deming, who spoke about creating the ultimate patient experience.

On Friday, the doctors and technicians who attended the meeting went to dinner at Mulate’s for some New Orleans cajun cooking.

Our doctors and staff also explored other areas and landmarks of New Orleans during their stay.
