For example, one of these physicians told us that, after changing hospitals, he introduced the Petal Scheduling solution to his new colleagues, who adopted it in no time. We’re always happy to meet such ambassadors! Speaking of which, we would like to thank all our physician users, who are specialized in cardiac, plastic, thoracic, vascular and general surgery, that continue to offer referrals to our solutions. Thanks to you, as of today, over 80 surgeon groups are optimizing the creation and management of their schedules with our technology. ## Yo**u Weren’t There for the Presentation of Our Scheduling Solution?** You participated in the event, but didn’t have the time to come see us? Or maybe you just couldn’t make it to the event at all?
