"Due in part to the notable publicity placement garnered by BCC, and our advertising campaign, the month of April 2009 resulted in our best 'new patient month' in the history of our business. We estimate that we have more than doubled our monthly new patients/month numbers. April 2009 was the best 'new patient month' we have ever experienced. Barbara's PR expertise has exceeded my expectations. It has been one of our best investments to date."
