Premier Surgeon

Mission Statement: Premier Surgeon’s focus is to be the definitive information source for cataract and refractive surgeons who strive to be market leaders in the arena of premium IOLs and who wish to provide unparalleled patient care and outcomes. Premier Surgeon delivers featured-based content with a special emphasis on providing clinical perspective and relevance on the information it presents. The publication presents balanced reports on clinical issues; practice management fundamentals and progressive views and opinions for building practices; ancillary services; and relevant socioeconomic subjects.

Editorial Policy and Philosophy: Articles are intended for informational purposes only and should not be used as the basis of patient treatment. All opinions expressed by authors and quoted sources are their own and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the editors, publishers or editorial boards of SLACK Incorporated. The acceptance of advertising in no way implies endorsement by the editors, publishers or editorial boards of SLACK Incorporated. Premier Surgeon does not publish articles on the basis of advertising support and purposely does not put editorial content next to an unintentionally related advertisement. However, there are unavoidable occasions when this may happen. This in no way implies endorsement or quid pro quo.

Send all editorial inquiries, letters and submissions to Premier Surgeon, SLACK Incorporated, 6900 Grove Road, Thorofare, NJ 08086; telephone: 856-848-1000; fax: 856-848-6091; e-mail: chvisdas@slackinc.com; http://www.premiersurgeon.com/. Special requests should be addressed to the editor.

All staff-written articles are sent to quoted sources for verification of medical accuracy. Quotes and other information in staff-written articles are verified for accuracy with sources prior to publication. Letters and other unsolicited material are assumed to be intended for publication and are subject to review and editing. Unsolicited physician-written and other expert-written original articles are encouraged but also are subject to the editorial process and additional review.

In lieu of placing a trademark symbol at each occurrence of a trademark name, we acknowledge here that the omission is due to the editorial nature of the publication and with no intention of trademark infringement.
