Share Your Opinions

You’ve got opinions and we want to hear them! Each month we feature a short, easy-to-take poll on a variety of subjects. Whether it’s about infection control or brackets, the information we gather from you is used to drive content for the magazine, guide us on updates to the Web site and help us gain a better understanding of what Townies experience in their practices. Find out how other professionals practice by viewing the results each month in Orthotown Magazine, or, if you’d like to dig deeper, you can view results of previous polls on the Web site.

If you have questions about the site, call me at 480-445-9696 or e-mail me at kerrie@farranmedia.com.
