Our merger with VPC was one of the top highlights of my 23 years of practice. Simply conducting the business of our previous practice was an arduous task, one which none of us were prepared to fulfill effectively. We focused our time and attention on our patients, and our business suffered accordingly. Following our merger, I have found that my time at the office is far less stressful, and we have also become more profitable. I have seen both sides of the practice world, and our life with VPC has been a most rewarding experience. As the CEO of Village Podiatry Centers, David Helfman has shown great vision, and under his direction this group has become the largest podiatry practice in the country. The practice model that he has created has been a great success story, and our doctors are all the beneficiaries of his talents and abilities.
