        Sounds great. Is there a parking garage at the hospital? If not, is there non metered parking within a few blocks?

        Which surgeons will be there to answer questions?

            Yes, there's a large parking garage (how could there not be in the middle of SF?). Unfortunately, it's not inexpensive ($3/hr). Valet parking is also available for $3/hr. There's metered parking within walking distance, but I think it's only an hour or two max.

            Drs. Berven, Hu, Burch, and Deviren will be speaking about various surgical topics. Dr. Demir-Deviren will be talking about injections. And, both physical therapists and the Pilates person are doctors. No shortage of brain power!

              Potentially... we have some hurdles to jump.

                  Yes, but we're not ready to accept "reservations" yet.
