Home » News » Citizen of the Year
Jim Rubens guided political rivals along a common path to halt casino

Citizens of the Year► 2012: Greenland Police Chief Michael Maloney
► 2011: MooreMart co-founder Paul Moore
► 2010: David and Jaimie Cates
► 2009: Sen. Judd Gregg
► 2008: NH Attorney General Kelly Ayotte
► 2007: NH Secretary of State Bill Gardner
► 2006: The New Hampshire Police Officer
► 2005: Gov. John Lynch
► 2004: Granite Staters serving in the Armed Forces
A year ago, as pro-gambling Maggie Hassan prepared to become governor with a new majority of her fellow Democrats in the House, the odds for a casino appeared better than ever.
Rubens, who had chaired the Granite State Coalition Against Expanded Gambling for almost as long as the pro-gaming forces had pushed for it, had won again. While he was not the only factor in the outcome, he was a key factor.
The award recognizes groups or individuals who, in the view of the Union Leader and New Hampshire Sunday News, have had the biggest influence or effect on New Hampshire in a given year. This is the 10th year for the honor.
"I could never have done it alone," Rubens, 63, said in a recent interview. But, he allowed, "I do credit myself with keeping the coalition together and keeping it broad."
Former state Republican Party Chairman Steve Duprey has taken over as lead coalition spokesman now that fellow Republican Rubens has resigned to run for U.S. Senate. Duprey marvels at Rubens' ability to quickly research and find studies on a wide range of gambling-related issues.
Duprey, formerly on the board of Concord's Capitol Center for the Arts, said the arts sector had not previously recognized the threat to their economic well-being.
Rubens resigned as coalition chairman shortly after the House vote. He announced in September that he would try to unseat U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen. He'll have to win a GOP primary first.
He said, "The experience of fighting a fight this intense all these years kept my political instincts in tune, taught me more about political strategy and coalition building."
"It was illegal to take a check that large at the time, and when I tracked it down, it turned out to be someone associated with the gambling industry."
He believes casino gambling would lead to "dominance of state politics by a single business entity. We already have lottery and charity gambling, which do not entail these dominance and corruption risks."
His approach was to "find out what each representative was concerned about, and it varies."
"It is the most broad-based coalition in the state," he said. "People at our meetings had never spoken to each other before. After fighting each other on almost every other issue, they were now working constructively, arm in arm, with such friendship. It was an incredible experience."
Anti-gambling Democrat state Rep. Marjorie Smith of Durham cited Rubens' ability "to collect data and testimony from other states. I believe that for people who were struggling to figure out what to do, that kind of approach was very, very helpful."
Fergus Cullen, like Duprey, a former Republican Party chairman, said that "all the money is on one side in the gambling debate.
"It's easy for people to get engaged for six months or a year, but it's hard for people to be engaged year in and year out," said Cullen. "That's where Jim's tenacity comes in."
Rubens is confident that with the coalition and CasinoFree New Hampshire combining forces with Duprey and Democratic former state Sen. Harold Janeway as bipartisan lead spokesmen, the effort is in "superb" hands.
"I get blowback," he said, "but my message is 'You've seen my skills organizationally. And I'd ask you to support me because I'd like to take those skills to Washington and deal with the jobs, debt problems.'"

I like to take the magnets off the fridge. Put them in muffin tins or on a cookie sheet. Lots of fun and much more portable than the fridge.

New, inexpensive production materials boost promise of hydrogen fuelFebruary 24, 2014 8:36 am | by Chris Barncard, Univ. of Wisconsin-Madison | News | Comments
Generating electricity is not the only way to turn sunlight into energy we can use on demand. The sun can also drive reactions to create chemical fuels, such as hydrogen, that can in turn power cars and trains. The trouble with solar fuel production is the cost of producing the sun-capturing semiconductors and the catalysts to generate fuel.
Research: U.K. failing to harness its bioenergy potentialFebruary 19, 2014 10:26 am | by Aeron Haworth, Media Relations, The Univ. of Manchester | News | Comments
The U.K. could generate almost half its energy needs from biomass sources, including household waste, agricultural residues and home-grown biofuels by 2050, new research suggests. Scientists from the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research at The Univ. of Manchester found that the U.K. could produce up to 44% of its energy by these means without the need to import.
Study: America's natural gas system is leaky and in need of a fixFebruary 14, 2014 8:05 am | by Mark Golden, Stanford Univ. | News | Comments

Report: Plastic shopping bags make a fine diesel fuelFebruary 12, 2014 1:15 pm | by Diana Yates, Life Sciences Editor Univ. of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign | News | Comments
Plastic shopping bags, an abundant source of litter on land and at sea, can be converted into diesel, natural gas and other useful petroleum products, researchers report. The conversion produces significantly more energy than it requires and results in transportation fuels that can be blended with existing ultra-low-sulfur diesels and biodiesels. Other products, such as natural gas and gasoline also can be obtained from shopping bags.
NREL report finds similar value in two concentrating solar technologiesFebruary 12, 2014 10:04 am | News | Comments

Simulating Subsidence from Oil and Gas ExtractionFebruary 6, 2014 10:33 am | by S. Monaco, G. Capasso, S. Mantica, Eni E&P D and Datye, R. Vitali, Dassault Systemes | Articles | Comments
Oil and gas remain primary power sources for both personal and industrial use worldwide. Extraction of these fuel resources from underground reservoirs involves complex geomechanical processes, and can result in subsidence of the ground over a reservoir. Since this occurrence can have an impact on the environment and affect the operability of extraction equipment, it needs to be accurately predicted and kept within safe limits.
Technique makes "biogasoline" from plant wasteFebruary 4, 2014 9:08 am | News | Comments
Gasoline-like fuels can be made from cellulosic materials such as farm and forestry waste using a new process invented by chemists at the Univ. of California, Davis. The process could open up new markets for plant-based fuels, beyond existing diesel substitutes.
Seafloor carpet catches waves to generate energyJanuary 29, 2014 7:37 am | by Sarah Yang, UC Berkeley | News | Comments
What do champion surfers who gathered at last week's Mavericks Invitational have in common with a Univ. of California, Berkeley engineer? They all are looking to harness the power of big ocean waves. But the similarities end there. For assistant professor Reza Alam, an expert in wave mechanics, the seafloor "carpet" he is proposing will convert ocean waves into usable energy.

Getting carbon out of your portfolio is trickyJanuary 24, 2014 4:08 pm | by Jonathan Fahey - AP Energy Writer - Associated Press | News | Comments
If you are like millions of Americans and own a broad stock index fund, you own parts of Exxon Mobil, Peabody Energy and other companies that earn money selling oil, coal and other fossil fuels. For some, that's great. Fossil fuels give us light, keep us warm, help grow our food, deliver our products and jet us around the planet. Some companies are stable and profitable and offer consistent dividends that pad retirement accounts nicely.
World's first magma-enhanced geothermal system created in IcelandJanuary 23, 2014 1:54 pm | by Iqbal Pittalwala, Univ. of California, Riverside | News | Comments
In 2009, a borehole drilled at Krafla, northeast Iceland, as part of the Icelandic Deep Drilling Project (IDDP), unexpectedly penetrated into magma at only 2100 m depth, with a temperature of 900-1000 C. The borehole, called IDDP-1, essentially created the world's first magma-enhanced geothermal system, and is now blowing superheated 450 C steam directly from a molten magma.
Natural gas locomotives may prove cheaper, cleanerJanuary 23, 2014 2:07 am | by Josh Funk - Associated Press - Associated Press | News | Comments
The diesel-burning locomotive, the workhorse of American railroads since World War II, will soon begin burning natural gas—a potentially historic shift that could cut fuel costs, reduce pollution and strengthen the advantage railroads hold over trucks in long-haul shipping. Rail companies want to take advantage of booming natural gas production that has cut the price of the fuel by as much as 50%.
Engineer converts yeast cells into "sweet crude" biofuelJanuary 22, 2014 9:13 am | News | Comments
Researchers at The Univ. of Texas at Austin's Cockrell School of Engineering have developed a new source of renewable energy, a biofuel, from genetically engineered yeast cells and ordinary table sugar. This yeast produces oils and fats, known as lipids, that can be used in place of petroleum-derived products.
Atomic-scale catalysts may produce cheap hydrogenJanuary 22, 2014 8:13 am | News | Comments
Researchers at North Carolina State Univ. have shown that a one-atom thick film of molybdenum sulfide (MoS2) may work as an effective catalyst for creating hydrogen. The work opens a new door for the production of cheap hydrogen. Hydrogen holds great promise as an energy source, but the production of hydrogen from water electrolysis currently relies in large part on the use of expensive platinum catalysts.
How to tap the sun's energy through heat as well as lightJanuary 20, 2014 7:43 am | by David L. Chandler, MIT News Office | Videos | Comments
A new approach to harvesting solar energy, developed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers, could improve efficiency by using sunlight to heat a high-temperature material whose infrared radiation would then be collected by a conventional photovoltaic cell. This technique could also make it easier to store the energy for later use, the researchers say.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 392 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pinkrose Luxury Hotel Finally, a hotel that provides luxurious bedding and towels and enough of both. I did not have to ask for anytime extra, it was already provided. The room was spacious and the bed linen was so nice, I was so warm and toasty in the bed. The towels and toiletries were wonderful. The starbucks coffee was awesome. My room was partial oceanview but I saw so much more of the ocean which was wonderful. Enjoyed my stay!!! August 30, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by REALTOR5459 Nice hotel The staff at Starwood hotels have always been nice and helpful---no difference here. We had a king suite, ocean front, that was very nice. The ONLY thing that I would have a complaint about is the bathroom. The ceiling above the tub/shower is peeling off. The toilet paper holder was loose so the TP kept falling off. Also, no towel bar, so there was really no where to hang our towel to be in easy reach. All minor things...but definitely need to be fixed. October 10, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Coop4112 Great location and super friendly staff Every member of the staff that I spoke with was very helpful and friendly. The hotel was great for a family stay. I did request a crib for our room prior to arriving and did not get it, we also got stuck by the stair door and was told they would not beable to switch to another room. Neither issue impacted us too much. Overall it was it was a great stay and I would recommend it to anyone. May 31, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Karen49 This Hotel has nice rooms and bed was comfortable. We stayed for one over night stay and rooms were very nice and the bed was so comfortable. The food was great for an office Christmas party. I would highly recommend your stay at this Hotel or holding your function here! The only thing was the drinks/soda and chips were high priced downstairs in their lobby. Cost was $2.00 for a very small diet coke and chips were $2.00 also. December 13, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by pjean Good Times at Virginia Beach Sheraton This hotel is a great place to stay in Virginia Beach with a prime location in the North End. Overall it is an excellent hotel. It was a great week and every staff person at the hotel was personable, warm, friendly and helpful! Small complaints: the sliding door alarm;no towel rods to hang towels in the bathroom; dim lighting in thebathroom. August 23, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by adailo Marcus Rocks! Great hotel, exceptional customer service by Marcus. Room is spacious and relatively clean. Restaurant is nice and the servers are great. Always check up on you while in the facility. The hotel ran out of towels in the pools and the cabana. We waited 2 hours for the towels to delivered other than that our stay at this hotel is nearly perfect. September 7, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Sharon12 Not a happy customer! Everything seemed fine after checking in....room was nice, clean and oceanfront. Then we started noticing little things: TNT was not working(a big problem with my teenager since it was in the middle of the NBA playofffs), the refridgerator was broken, the faucets leaked. Then the big problem: construction work right under our window began at 7am!!! (Wish I would have been told that at check-in!) All complaints were met with a pleasant "Oh really? I'll look into it." but the only thing fixed was the fridge. To top things off, the room adjacent to ours decided to party LOUDLY until 1am! Staff was pleasant, but service ended there...except for the valets...they were great. May 6, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Zano321 This hotel needs help! Beds are very comfortable but it was a total dissapointment. Having to drive 6 1/2 hours I called to see if I could check in early I was told it would be put on my file along with the crib I requested and never got. Only after calling SPG to complain did they miraculously find me a room without a jacuzzi like the one I booked. Then on Tuesday after returning to my room only to find the garbage still overflowing with dirty diapers and no towels in the bathroom, I call the front desk they take 2 hrs to come dump tue garbage and tell me there are no towels due to a delivery problem? Really rediculous. I had no towels to shower and go to dinner. The next day they only emptied one garbage I gave up. I wanted my cold pack for my baby formula frozen they td me to bring it to the restaurant to which i got attitude there. No service, no one goes out of their way for you im a Sheraton owner and Spg member and im totally dissapointed. Ive been treated better in other hotels September 1, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by pelaez Anniversarry We had a partial view of the ocean. Jesse, Tia, Trevor and Britney went out of their way to make our stay memorable. Any concern were quickly addresses by Jesse and their wonderful staff. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay at your hotel. Their is no doubt we will return for another anniversary in the future. July 27, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by AllieG Great hotel, overall (with minor glitches) My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. We had a full, beautiful view of the beach (after a reservation error was corrected). There were minor annoyances, such as very long waits at both of their restaurants. We waited 45 minutes for breakfast, after we'd placed our order, at their Fusion restaurant! We also had an exceptionally long wait, after placing our order, for dinner on another day, at their outdoor restaurant. Finalizing the reservation (over the phone) was exceptionally long! Then when we registered at the hotel we found that the reservation was for a partial ocean view, when we'd requested and reserved a full view. Fortunately, there was still a full-view room available, and the correction was made. The staff was very courteous and friendly and the hotel is top notch. One thing of note is that they are pet-friendly. So, we had a barking dog as a neighbor, one evening. But, a call to the front desk resolved it, quickly. I would rate it 4-1/2 stars. June 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rob2013 Great Stay for the Family This was a great place to stay for the family. Easy to get the beach with the kids. The service was excellent and friendly. The free WIFI was major plus - nowadays everyone has to be connected EVEN THE KIDS. LOL. Another plus was the nice restaurants in and around the hotel. I would love to visit again. June 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by NJP21 Great First Stay in Virginia Beach First time to Virginia Beach - we decided to stay at the Sheraton based on other reviews and pictures on the internet. The hotel met our expectation in every way. It was very clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel is right on the beach and has an indoor and outdoor pool. Thanks Sheraton!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by mtb5260 Another great vacation at VA Beach Stayed at this Sheraton for the third year in a row for vacation. Always treated like a VIP by the entire staff, and leave relaxed and rejuvenated. Thanks for another exceptional vacation at the VA Beach Sheraton! September 1, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by MakKie Made a great choice our first night we were awaken by repairs. In the am I asked to switch rooms and we were moved to a beautiful cabana room. The a la carte breakfast was great! June 11, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Fliers Unsatisfactory valet and concierge Our first impressions of this SPG "resort" were not very good. Upon driving into the property, the "valet" parking did not acknowledge us, and when I asked if it was valet or if we park on our own was told "they can". I was a tad confused as there was no effort to park my car. We had just traveled with 3 children 6 hrs to the sheraton and had no help from anyone to unload our bags and no assistance once so ever. When I asked about a bellman or help to transport our bags to our room the concierge said "it's up to you". But no effort again was made to take our luggage so we loaded our own cart and took our bags, strollers, 3 children and playpen up to our room. Not an ideal way to begin our holiday. The room was far below the regular spg hotels standard and the pool small was disgustingly dirty to put it mildly. We waited for an hour for towels to come to the pool, and had finished up there and they had still not been replenished. The front desk and restaurant staff were awesome and probably were the saving grace for this property. Overall I definitely would not recommend this hotel. A first for any SPG property I have stayed at. June 30, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by VABeachVisitor Great Stay, Great Vacation! My husband and I recently visited Virginia Beach and chose to stay at the Sheraton Oceanfront Hotel. We loved it! The hotel was very clean and up-to-date; you could tell it had recently been remodeled. Our room was small but cozy and we were not disturbed by anyone next door to our room. The staff was very friendly and met all of our needs. We visited both pools; they were kept in very nice condition and were refreshing after being in the heat. I would recommend the restaurant at the hotel, the staff there was very pleasant and the food was great! Overall our stay was perfect and we'd definitely come to the Sheraton again! One thing to note when selecting a room: Our room was over the pool area which has a fountain. The fountain is loud when running (just sounds like water not mechanical noises) and drowns out the waves. It's not peaceful to sit on the balcony. So if you're looking for the relaxing wave sounds, do not stay in the cabana rooms, try for one away from the pool area. Also if you are looking for a "late night" hotel this one is not for you. The bar outside by the pool closed by 10:00, this is also what time the pool closed. So if you want to stay out late drinking you can't do it at the hotel. Which is nice for the guests that don't like the night life, no disturbances after 10:00! August 4, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by FamilyOfFourNOVA Exceeded our expectations This trip was simply amazing, mostly because of the lovely accommodations at the Sheraton. We've never been to Virginia Beach so did not know what to expect. Our room was exactly as the photos described and the hotel is located in a very nice area of VA beach, right on the northern area of the boardwalk. We booked what seemed to be the very last oceanfront room available hoping there would be enough room for four of us with only a king and pullout bed. There was plenty of space for all of us and our suitcases and beach gear. The beds were very comfortable and the hotel was quiet despite being fully booked. Fusion was delightful in the evening and we had lunch outside at Cabanas.The food was amazing and the atmosphere just perfect. Both meals were discounted by 20% just because we are SPG members. It's a quick and easy walk to nearly everywhere. There are a lot of restaurants within a safe walking distance. We returned late at night and there were lots of people around. The grounds were kept up beautifully. The indoor pool was much bigger than we expected and the outdoor pool is beautiful. The hotel in general far exceeded our expectations for cleanliness, location and condition. It's really a classy hotel and we would definitely stay here again. All the staff members were polite and helpful, friendly and attentive. September 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Oceanside Great features We enjoyed our stay. everyone was very pleasant and helpful October 11, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by billy Construction noise, dust The old pool was being removed during our stay, on Thanksgiving weekend. The noise, diesel fumes and dust were awful on Wednesday, but we were assured it was over for the weekend. But sure enough, they were back again on Friday. We paid extra for an oceanfront room, but it wasn't possible to sit on the balcony for two of the days. We feel we should have been warned about this beforehand or compensated in some way. The staff said, "sorry about that." Also, the free wifi in the lobby was out of order all weekend. The last day we were given free wifi in the room -- too little too late. December 1, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by gardengirl Quiet and relaxing stay. We only stayed one night while in town for a football game. We normally choose high end, quality hotels when traveling and the Sheraton met our expectations. The suite was comfortable, clean, quiet inside the room and we would stay there again. The only negatives were the little one cup at a time coffee maker with a 2 minute wait between each cup and the balcony had a fairly loud mechanical unit or air conditioning system constantly running. The Sheraton was located in the less congested north end of the beach. We have stayed closer to the pier before and much prefer this location. September 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Macdad16 The hotel has great beach locations We really enjoyed our stay at the Sheraton, since it's pet friendly. Very clean and fun to stay. I will come back to the Sheraton in Virginia Beach, Va. August 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by dadofone Clean and family friendly. We have stayed at this hotel for a few years now and it is always clean and great for families. The staff have always been helpful. The bathrooms are on the small side but not a big deal. Could use brighter lighting in the bathrooms. Overall a great place to stay to enjoy the beach and surrounding areas. August 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by lonie12 A wonderful time This hotel is located at the end of the boardwalk which is less crowded. It is a short walk to everything August 25, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by patva The worst room ever First, there was an error in the online booking. The reservation was supposed to be for one night only but was made for two nights. Don't know if it was my error, but since I never received a confirmation email, it would have been impossible for me to know of the mistake. Had I known, I certainly would have corrected it. At check-in I was told a "city view" room was available. I had requested an ocean view but it was not ready (we arrived early), so we took the room that was ready. Big mistake!! The room was dark, with a small window above a Jacuzzi tub that you could not see out of, even if you stood on the tub! The door to the room was so stuck and difficult to open, I had to use the force of my shoulder to open it. My shoulder still hurts. The toilet did not flush at all and it required having a maintenance man in the room for 30 mins working on it, and had to leave and come back, therefore, could not go to the bathroom, wash up, change clothes, take a nap, etc. So later I'm thinking, although I really dislike the room (felt like being in a closet or someone's basement) maybe we'll try out that Jacuzzi tub when we get back to the hotel. Wrong... By that time the Jacuzzi tub was making some really loud, obnoxious, mechanical noise about every 10-15 mins that lasted about 2 mins. Of course, when the maintenance man came to the room, it was at the time when it was not making the noise. He said the noise was probably coming from some motor in the ballroom. I asked for a different room every time I called about the problems and was told there were no rooms available. Finally around 10 pm, after the third and final call about the noise the tub was making, we were moved to another room. When moved to another room, we were told that they were crediting us our 5000 Starwood points. When asked how the stay was at check out, I told the clerk how horrible the room was and played back the recording on my phone of the noise it was making. He was very apologetic and I was told that we would receive an additional 3000 point credit. I haven't seen the credits on my account. Will have to make yet another call. October 10, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by mph304 wonderful I had a wonderful stay at the Virginia Beach facility....staff was friendly and best of all my dog was welcome!! I will be returning anytime I travel in that vicinity. October 8, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by K2012 Too many problems to ignore First, the good things. The pools were nice and my family enjoyed our time at the pool. The location at 35th St is good for us, as we far enough away from the events on the beach not to be disturbed. The staff were courteous and the front desk upgraded us to a 2 queen bed room as a SPG gold member. Now the bad. Parking is poor. The parking lot is across the street and there are not enough spaces when the hotel is full, like on a holiday weekend. The bag handler asked if we needed a cart when checking in. So we unloaded in front of the hotel and I went to park the car while my wife and small kids went to check in. When I return, I find out they had to wheel the big baggage cart to the room themselves because the guy just gave them the cart! Air conditioning in the room is inefficient. The side of the room near the air conditioner was cold, the rest of the room was uncomfortably warm/humid. Sleeping the closest to the air conditioner meant wrapping the comforter around you, while the other side kicked off the blankets. Housekeeping came each morning before 10:30 to clean. Each time we had to tell them to come back later. So one day we put the "do not disturb" sign up and put it away when we left later in the morning. We returned to find the room was not cleaned! We called the front desk and they said the cleaning people left for the day already, so we had no clean towels or new shampoo/soap, unmade beds, and full garbage cans! We had to wait for them to bring us soap, shampoo and towels, so we could clean up and go to dinner. Of course, this made us late for dinner which caused us to lose our reservation. So after losing our reservation, we came back to the hotel and decided to eat in the hotel restaurant. This was my worst experience in a hotel restaurant ever. Service was non-existent. Right before we walked out, the waitress appeared so we ordered. After a long wait (no bread or water), we got our food, but the order was wrong. Then after waiting for the correct order (still no bread or water), the food was room temperature, the FULL portion of seafood tortellini looked like a kids meal, and the fettuccine with chicken came with spaghetti instead. We had to REQUEST bread after dinner as we were still hungry. Then to top that off, our bill was wrong and we sat around waiting for that to get straightened out (twice) while I went to refill my own water from the pitcher at the serving station. I should add that there were maybe 1 or 2 other tables besides us the whole time, not counting the smart people who left because no one came to take their order. The hotel itself wasn't so bad, but the service and restaurant were so poor that it ruined our stay. September 5, 2012

On Built From Scratch's blazing preamble, "XL", Large Professor asserts, —"this is how it started, two turntables and a microphone." Yet, as hip-hop has progressed from park jams to Wall Street, the core elements of the culture have been indubitably blurred in the process. The X-ecutioners (Roc Raida, Mista Sinista, Total Eclipse and Rob Swift) are not only a vital link to the past, but more importantly they are conduits to re-establishing the DJ's importance in hip-hop. And if you don't think the X-Cutioners realize this, consider that the crew re-created the classic cover of PE's Yo! Bumrush The Show for its cover art, complete with including the father of hip-hop, Kool Herc, and the founders of the scratch Grandmaster DST and Grand Wizard Theodore.
The DJ compilation is certainly not a new entity. However, the majority of the turntablists behind these compilations failed to recognize one important fact—no matter how much bedroom DJ's and casual fans of the art admire the intricacies of mixing and blending, that interest does not translate into Soundscan success.
What sets the X-Cutioners apart is that they are able to combine the best of both worlds. Though the team performs precise open-heart surgery on "Choppin' Niggaz Up", "X-ecution Of A Bum Rush", and the ominous "Triple Threat" f/Shortkut, Apollo and VinRoc. They are sagacious enough to realize that more is required to garnish consistent spins in the whip. With that in mind, the X-Cutioners Built From Scratch is not your typical five-fingers (or in this case twenty-fingers) of death scratchathon; as they deftly flip the hook from Pharaohe Monch's "Simon Says" into the lyrical smorgasbord "Y'all Know The Name" f/ Monch, Xzibit, Inspectah Deck & Mad Skillz, and tap underground staples Large Professor ("XL") and M.O.P. ("Let It Bang") for some NY basement flava.
While Built For Scratch is a veritable grab bag of aural treats and a supremely diverse effort; including Big Pun & Kool G Rap's "Dramacyde" (a forgotten track from Loud's Black & White Soundtrack), the thrashing rock collabo, "Dramacyde" f/Linkin Park, which is garnishing heavy spins on Alternative stations, and Primo's ode to himself "Premier's X-ecution". The crew's yearning for mainstream acceptance occasionally leads them down a well-traveled road, exemplified by their attempt to refurbish the Tom Tom Club's "Genius of Love" , and Everlast's corny metaphor ridden "B-Boy Punk Rock 2001″.
Though Built For Scratch may not be a definitive statement on just how significant the DJ's role is in hip-hop, the X-Cutioners surely make a compelling argument.
This has to be one of the best reviews i've read in a while. Thanks matty.

So glad we did this on our vegas trip and the limo to the helicopter was just as fun!!!!!!!
July 2014
The helicopter tour was fantastic. The limo pickup was right on time. However I wasn't expecting that there would be other couples in the limo awaiting to go on the same tour but to be fuel and time efficient it made sense. Overall the experience was wonderful and I would love to do another tour!

Thank You, We Look Forward to Meeting You.
At Moore, Foot and Ankle, we specialize in all podiatry treatment areas to deal with your foot problems and ankle problems including foot surgery and ankle surgery. As a Houston podiatrist, we treat a myriad of different foot problems including Plantar Fasciitis, heel pain, foot pain, tendonitis, flat feet, hammertoes, bunions, ingrown toenail, gout and everything in between (all of which are covered by health insurance).
In addition, one area where we have seen increasing interest is cosmetic foot surgery (where we use surgical and non-surgical techniques to improve the appearance of what some patient's perceive as ugly feet). As a Houston podiatrist and specialist in foot surgery, Cosmetic Foot Surgery is one of the most rewarding things about being a foot doctor.
In particular, what's great about cosmetic foot surgery are the stories behind some of the outcomes and some of the patients who've had great results (when they were not experiencing foot pain, but instead where experiencing psychological pain, often much worse than physical foot problems).
One of which was a young lady who came into the office and was very embarrassed about her feet and as a man, you just don't think about these things. She was not only nervous but a little bit weepy eyed and her mom was there and I could feel the stress in the room.
And I just asked "what are you here for, what would you like and how can I help you with your feet?"
She went on to talk about how thought she had ugly feet and toes.
"What do you mean? Is it the way your toes are curled up or the way this bump is over here?"
And, she just started crying. She said "I can't even go to the pool with my friends. I'm 17 and I'm about to go to college and just I'm so embarrassed that I don't even want to wear open toed shoes." It was moving and as a foot specialist, I was determined to help this patient. And, by the time, we actually discussed the foot surgery and had it scheduled, she was a little bit more confident. But, more importantly, we talked through everything to the point where she felt like "ok, this is going to be a new start for me". Those are the kinds of things that make being a cosmetic foot surgeon and Houston podiatrist a fantastic vocation.
But, even the aftermath with taking the stitches out and the whole visits with the family and the mom. We got to know each other. It was a neat feeling that when the scar tissue finally regressed and her toes did look normal, she came into the office and gave me a big hug and said just how happy she was to be able to wear sandals and go to the beach and not be embarrassed and it's those types of things you never forget.
What are the different types of Cosmetic Foot Surgery?
Cosmetic Foot Surgery is a specialty within a specialty and is not offered by most podiatrists or foot surgeons. Instead, you must find a foot specialist that has experience with this area of podiatry. And, when patients come in for Cosmetic Foot Surgery, I first ask "what do you want done, what displeases you, what is painful?"
Once we get through all that, I can explain to them that Cosmetic Foot Surgery has a few areas that are the most common that we can fix very easily and others are just "per patient".
So for example, the patient comes in for the big toe joint or bunion treatment. That's when the bump on the first big toe joint is prominent, it's pushed over and crowding the second toe or rubbing on the shoe or discoloring. Often, there is also toe pain associated with the visual deformity.
The second type of surgery are digital surgeries and that's everything from a long second toe or the toe is getting pushed up in the shoe or the quintessential hammertoe or claw toe, some of which are associated with foot pain.
Different types of foot corn deformities or discolorations in the skin from rubbing or pressing on the shoe and we might recommend a corn removal procedure.
Pain of course. The 5th toe is another real common one besides the second toe, pressing in against the shoe and creating toe pain on the fifth toe when any type of slim type of shoe that is enclosed. The most common is the female dress shoe or pump, if you will.
And, speaking of pump, there is something that we've coined the "pump bump" and that is the bump on the back of the heel from rubbing on the shoe. This area back here will become raised and painful but also discolored and not too attractive. Those are also very, very easy to fix.
Other procedures include treatments for Hallux Valgus, where the bones are twisting unnaturally away from the foot and of course, callus removal, wart removal, bunion treatment or bunion removal and other very simple procedures.
Is Cosmetic Foot Surgery covered by insurance?
I remember a patient coming in one day for some foot problems including ankle pain and noticed that she had some derangement of the toes in the front of her foot.
And, she wanted to talk about how it was swollen and bothering her with exercise.
And, I casually mentioned the toe that was pushed up in the air and another problem with her big toe joint, the quintessential bunionette deformity.
She said, "no, I just don't have the money for that. It's not hurting, but it is a little uncomfortable in shoes."
And, I said "it's covered by insurance".
As a podiatrist and foot doctor, that is one of the most common problems I think that I see in the office with Cosmetic Foot Surgery. Not so much "what's going to happen and how are we going to fix this problem"?
But, patients just assume it's not covered. These procedures are covered by insurance.
Foot and ankle joint surgery is another exciting area of medicine at Moore, Foot and Ankle because there's so much we can do now that was unavailable in the past. As a Houston podiatrist, one of the most common areas of foot pain identified by our patients involves the big toe joint where foot pain is often related to an accelerated level of arthritis which could be related to degenerative joint disease. Alternatively, foot pain associated with this first big toe joint could be related to sport injuries, jamming the joint while walking or from other genetic issues. As you'll see below, we have several non-surgical options for this and we also have a very effective toe joint replacement surgery that is working wonders for our patients in resolving their joint pain.
A quick story on one patient that needed big toe joint replacement surgery
A couple years ago, I had a new patient call from Los Angeles. I was surprised that he wanted to travel all the way to Houston to visit us since it was so far from where he lived. He said "well, I called the medical equipment company that makes the toe joint replacement device. And, this company told me that Moore, Foot and Ankle is the foot doctor that puts in more of their toe joint replacement devices than any other podiatrist or foot surgeon in Houston and that was good enough for me." This patient also commented that he liked the fact that he could watch the toe joint replacement surgery video on our website so he understood exactly what was involved with the surgery process. Anyway, he felt comfortable enough to fly out to see us and make us his foot specialist. As a result, we replaced his big toe joints in both feet. I should mention that his big toe joints were very damaged, he was experiencing significant foot pain, and he really needed to have surgery to get back to a normal quality of life and mobility. By the time the sutures came in about two weeks, he was comfortable enough to go back into shoes had total relief from his joint pain and flew back home to Los Angeles.
What treatments are available if you are having problems with your ankle?
Moving over the ankle joint, we're very excited about the new treatment options for our patients with ankle pain and problems. While I am a podiatrist and foot specialist, I am also an ankle surgeon. Accordingly, we have created an entire ankle treatment clinic environment to help our patients who are experiencing ankle pain (including problems such as a sprained ankle, ankle fracture, twisted ankle, high ankle sprain, ankle swelling and ankle joint pain). So, for example, someone says "I have arthritis in the ankle joint" or they call up our office and they say "listen my joints hurt, I think it's tendonitis" or "I'm having pain in my Achilles Tendon".
As is often the case, when the patient is having a hard time explaining their specific problem in the ankle, we almost always know where to start helping them. So, for example, patients if the patient says ankle sprain or ankle swelling, an ankle that gives out, an ankle that catches, an ankle that aches at the end of the day or only at nighttime, we know that all of these descriptions usually involve similar problems. So, we will start by offering oral anti-inflammatories and cortisone shots which can reduce ankle pain and push the surgery off into the future if that's helpful to the patient.
Related to all of this is that fact that all medical specialties, including podiatry, have benefited from the science of arthroscopy. Specifically, the treatment of ankle problems has greatly improved now that we can scope the ankle just like the knee. I explain to patients, it's just a little TV camera. And, it's literally, we don't have to open it up, it's two little holes in the front of the ankle joint here. You put the scope in and you can actually see what's wrong with the ankle once you're inside the ankle joint with the camera.
Along with the arthroscopy scope and MRI (to check out the ligaments and tendons), we also have some new treatment options with new biologics and injectables that have been developed as a result of stem cell therapy research. Specifically, we can put these materials inside the ankle joint after surgery to make it heal faster and possibly regenerate cartilage in the joint often eliminating any residual joint pain.
Of course, in other cases, there are ankle problems that do require surgery. For example, some of our patients are to a level where the ankle joint is completely destroyed resulting in significant ankle pain. In the past, joint fusion was used (and can still be a good procedure occasionally for certain types of patients). However, now, as a ankle surgeon, I'm pleased that we can offer patients a full ankle replacement (which is often the best solution). This ankle replacement device is a complicated piece of machinery that has taken years to perfect. But we we're very confident with that is designed so that individual pieces can be replaced in the future without requiring the replacement of the entire device (a much simpler process). Moreover, given that the medical industry now has about 15 years of experience with these ankle replacement devices, it's quite possible that the entire device will last for the life of the patient (as our experience with them has been outstanding in terms of durability).
Again, to recap, when it comes to foot and ankle joint pain, we can help you with non-surgical treatments and strategies that can help you improve the quality of your life (without surgery) or we can provide a host of different surgical options (all the way to a full ankle replacement) that can optimize your range of motion. Whatever your needs for toe joint or ankle joint pain or problems (from a torn Achilles to a toe joint replacement), we can provide you with the level of care you deserve.
Another very common problem that we see in podiatry is problems related to the top and bottom of the foot. Specifically, the sole or complete bottom surface of the foot is where it contacts the ground so obviously there is going to be some problems there. But, essentially there are really only three areas, the heel, the arch and the ball of the foot. As a podiatrist and foot specialist, it's important for me to tell you that there are some important things you need to know about these areas before you engage in non-aggressive or aggressive treatment.
First, heel pain comes in many forms including commonly those first few steps in the morning. Next, the arch is also often connected to the heel pain (sometimes caused by fallen arches or flat feet). Or, in other cases, the arch can hurt as the result of athletics. In any case, this arch problem will often feel like a chronic burning. Finally, the ball of the foot is a little bit more complex.
In all of these situation, there are easy ways to get relief without surgery and there are simple surgeries that you can perform to fix the problem if the foot pain is chronic or long standing.
Dr. Moore talks about one of his patients with heel pain
I have several types of patients that come in for heel pain. And, most of them want to try the conservative options but every once in a while, they want it fixed. And, the procedure is great. I had a guy come in who races cars and he said "listen, I'm not here to try any kind of injections or arch supports, I just need this fixed, I saw your video". And, it was nice because he was a little bit more aggressive than most of my patients. And, was walking around by the second day by putting most of the weight on the ball of his foot. The stitches came out in two weeks and he was back to racing right thereafter.
This is a great procedure that will get you back to what you need to get done immediately but then, of course, it's a permanent fix on top of that.
What you should know if you have pain in the arch of the foot.
Arch pain is very simple. It's something that patients come in for fatigue and it's connected with the ball or the heel or just the central portion. In short, it's something that patients are coming in with knowing the diagnosis called Plantar Fasciitis. It's nice to know that everybody is so educated now. And, this ligament, of course, is just a bow string. If this is your arch and this is the ligament, it's a bow string. And, if the arch drops, the bow string is going to get tight. And, if it's pulled enough through exercise or lack of support in the shoes, it can cause a burning pain, some pain in the morning with your first few steps. But, don't lose the fact that this type of injury or overuse syndrome will not heal unless you have the proper support and the proper rest.
With that in mind, we have different conservative options in the office with injection therapy which is an anti-inflammatory cortisone to get rid of the pain immediately and we have permanent arch supports that are molded to your feet so they're accustomed to support the surface and create the arch in a more neutral position to relax the ligament to not only heal the problem, but keep it from coming back.
Dr. Moore discusses some common types of pain in the ball of the foot and the best treatment options.
The ball of the foot is an interesting area. It's not only a lot of pressure per square inch where you have a complete flat surface but then when you take just one little concentrated area and you put all of your body weight on there all day or for my female patients, you vault the foot forward and the high heel puts more pressure on the ball of the foot, you have a more intense pain.
That being said, the bones or knuckles you can feel right here on the ball of your foot, if they're not sore enough, there is another condition called a neuroma which is a nerve branch between the two heads and that can become swollen, irritated or pinched.
The good news with this area is that there are several conservative options like cortisone injections to shrink up these nerve masses or calm down the ball of the foot pain temporarily. We can use orthotics or arch supports that simply put more pressure in the arch to alleviate just the foot hitting the ball and heel portion, so, it fills in the gap and takes the pressure off the ball of the foot. Then, we can discuss different types of shoe gear to get the patient by or actually cure the problem.
I have one patient that came in and she had multiple problems with the ball of her foot and she had been seeing other surgeons and was signed up to have surgery and we simply gave her a few injections, and put her in orthotics and the pain went away.
On the flip side, I had another patient who had tried everything and was about to have some type of new laser procedure performed and we did an MRI and saw that the actual size of the nerve mass was huge and there was a ganglion or fluid filled sack associated with that so hers was a little more complicated and the removal that we performed gave her 100% relief so I recommend that these problems get the full conservative attempt but also the testing is fully performed afterwards if the problem is not resolved to make sure that the right problem is being fixed.
When it comes to ingrown toenails, the biggest fear my patients have is that their toe is going to look ugly after the procedure because of how much of the toenail edge we have to remove. And after many years as a podiatrist and foot surgeon, I know that the second fear people have is that the procedure we use to fix the ingrown toenail is going to hurt and cause substantial foot pain.
First, let's discuss toe pain. Before we do the ingrown toenail surgery, we anesthetize the area behind the toenail making the entire toe completely numb. This process of anesthetizing the toe is very quick and easy resulting in very minor foot pain (and most patients barely even feel the anesthetizing needle). Also, we take care to place the needle on an area of the toe that is not very sensitive at the base of the toe (which all but eliminates any associated toe pain). And, that's the nice part about the way that we administer the anesthesia where it's not injected right into the toenail like some emergency personnel will do who are not foot specialists. So, once and for all, when you come in to fix your ingrown toenail, you will experience a complete toe numbing with virtually no foot pain and this numbing process is performed in the office by myself or one of nurses.
For the ingrown toenail surgery procedure, over the years, we have developed a technique where it's not necessary any more to take a large piece of the toenail, but, just the piece that disappears down into the nail fold where it's really digging in. And, once that piece is pulled out under anesthesia, then I push the skin up against the new edge to make sure that it looks cosmetically nice where the old ingrown toenail portion is then removed utilizing a chemical and a special technique with a tool that we use. And, in short, what happens is just the ingrown toenail area below the nail fold down in the grove that was causing the pain is gone and it does not come back. As a podiatrist, this "will not come back" benefit is huge for my patients because I have had patients come to me after one, two or three removals from different practitioners or their family practitioner. So, while these earlier ingrown toenail procedures did provide them with relief, they did not solve the foot pain problem and our ingrown toenail surgery technique will eliminate this ingrown toenail permanently.
Once the ingrown toenail surgery is finished, it will drain slightly since it is a mild chemical burn. And, with certain patients, we might place them on antibiotics if they had a bad infection. In other cases, our patients are concerned with the over growth of the soft portion of the nail in the skin area (sometimes caused by an infection) but we can fix that too at the time of the nail procedure. So, in short, ingrown toenail surgery is painless and permanent. Cosmetically, we can remove all of the infected tissue and remove just the edge to make sure that it's cosmetically appealing after it heals.
Dr. Moore talks about fungal toenail treatment options
Foot fungus and fungal infection of the toenails is a bittersweet discussion with some of my patients especially my female patients. I asked my girls, I have twin daughters, "What is the most important thing on your list" and they said clothing and, I think shoes, and then of course pedicures. And, it's funny how important a good looking toenail is to some of my patients.
Also, when it comes to foot fungus, many of my patients have been told myths about fungal infections that are completely untrue (such as the idea that you have some terrible fungal disease that you can spread to family members or whatever). This is completely false.
So, let's start off on what causes a fungal infections in toenails. I tell my patients, there's some good news and bad news with foot fungus. First, pressure is really the culprit behind some of the thick dark toenails included the dreaded black toenail. And, 9 times out of 10, it's the pressure against the shoe. For instance, my runners or folks with tight shoes, that constant beating on a toenail will make it thicker because toenails are the same protein as callouses and if you have pressure on a certain area, it will make a thick callous. So, if you have pressure on a toenail, it will respond and get thicker and darker even when there's not a fungal infection.
Next, and this is a little bit of bad news, there's a little bit of genetics involved with who is going to get fungal infections. So, for example, if grandma and grandpa have thick discolored nails, there's a chance that it's going to passed down to you. And, some of my patients that have more pigment in their skin or darker colored in their skin coloring will produce stripes and also little veins of darkness in the toenail. Remember, this has nothing to do with some sort of some dreaded fungal infection. It's just from pounding on the toenail again and again over time.
Of course, there are many cases where there is a fungal infection. Often, the toenail can actually lift up or become so thick the layers are spread out and then the foot fungus gets in. Before we recommend any procedure or topical medicine, we test samples from the toenail area in question. Then, depending on whether there is or is not a fungal infection, we can make the appropriate medical recommendation (whether that's a change in their exercise routine or use of one or more foot fungus medications).
On this point, if we determine that you have a fungal infection, I'm a firm believer in the oral anti-fungals. As a foot doctor in Houston for the past 25 years, one of the most frequent concerns that I hear from patients is about these anti-fungal medications and if they will damage the patient's liver. Here's the deal on that. First, these medications have come a long way and improved over the years in terms of how they impact the liver and overall body. Second, yes, these antiviral medications do make the liver work harder. But, to put you at ease, so does alcohol. So does Tylenol. And, a lot of these drugs that make the liver work harder just means that it detoxifies the drug and for the vast majority of patients, these drugs are safe and effective for treating foot fungus.
That said, we do a full examination and check your medications before we prescribe the foot fungus medications for you. Specifically, our electronic computer system will see if there's any adverse drug interactions with the medications that you're currently taking. And, then if there's any questions about a heart patient or someone with any pre-existing liver problems, we will contact their primary care and internal medical doctor or, of course, cardiologist, just to make sure there are not any cholesterol drugs that interact with the antiviral foot fungus medications. Once we feel comfortable that the antiviral drug presents no issues, I can assure you that these antivirals are not dangerous. And, the new standards for these antiviral drugs are so improved now that it is not mandated that we test liver function after administering this drug. Even so, I will still test probably test the patient's liver function two to three weeks into giving the drug just to make sure that the patient has not had any adverse reaction to the drug.
Therefore, if you have a fungal infection, my recommendation as a foot surgeon and podiatrist is to take the antiviral medications for about three months. In 25 years as a Houston podiatrist, I've never had any problems in my clinic with liver problems associated with these antiviral drugs. Specifically, my patients have done very well with this protocol because the antiviral medication gets right into the root then over time, the medication will gradually push the foot fungus up and out of the toe (eliminate the black toenail appearance). (On this point, some patients think that the antiviral medication will circulate around the foot fungus and clear it out throughout the black toenail all at once. It doesn't work like that. Instead, the antiviral medication starts at the base of the toenail and then slowly grows up pushing the foot fungus out through the top of the black toenail over time.) So, remember, it will usually take 6 to 9 months to push out the entire black toenail and then have a clean new toenail in its place.
But, this process is worth it. I've had a lot of patients that have had great success eliminating their fungal infections. I just tell them to keep your eye on the prize (no more black toenails). Then, I have them measure out the distance of two or three millimeters. I then explain that on average a toenail grows a millimeter a month. So, if they measure out 3 millimeters, they can see the progress they will have in about 3 months. So, in a few months' time, if you can be patient, you will have a clean toenail that will hopefully flatten out with less thickness as we recommend some lifestyle changes that will reduce any pressure on the toes.
Why should you choose Dr. Moore?
Another important question that patients ask at our office is "why?", "why should they use me or our surgeons to have this procedure or procedures performed".
It's a very fair question.
Personally, it's hard to say how good I am and why am I the best at these types of procedures? But, to be honest, it's a serious question. They need to know that practicing as a foot and ankle specialist this is all I've done. 25 years of this. No starting in one specialty and slid into this later. Foot and ankle surgery is all I've done for 25 years and I've performed thousands of the types of procedures you will see on my website.
Another important point is the board certification. Board certified with the national credentials that you would like your foot doctor to have. I am also a member of the Podiatry Association of Houston.
And, we keep it fresh in our practice where the students are constantly revolving through and I've been a surgical instructor now for over 15 years at two residency programs here in Houston.
Lastly, understanding the equipment is important.
So, I actually invested a bone screw back in 2000 and went ahead on to patent it with a surgical equipment company.
And, it's still in use today to be able to make one the surgeries we perform go a little bit smoother and faster.
Finally, we specialize in same day appointments as we know how foot problems and ankle pain can require urgent care and treatment. And, we are a Podiatrist in Houston which makes our clinic easily accessible to nearly 6 million people in the Houston Metro area.
Dr. Moore talks about one his patients and the techniques he used to eliminate her pain
We put something called dexamethasone phosphate which is a very short acting cortisone that basically acts like putting a bunch of Advil right underneath the skin.
And, I did that around the forefoot and the digital surgery she had performed on the toes and assured her that this would really calm things down. And, after the foot surgery, she was elated.
She came back in for her 72 hour check which we do at our office where we check for infection and change the bandages. And, said on a 1 to 10, the first time she had a 9 or a 10, on her first foot surgery, and with our foot surgery, she said that her foot pain was only about a 1 or a 2.
And, ended up taking one or two pain pills and some anti-inflammatories. And virtually had no foot pain or joint pain from that point forward.
Anesthesiology – What are the best options, and how safe is it?
As a podiatrist and foot surgeon, one of the most important factors is helping patients understand the surgery process. We let them know that the type of anesthesia that we use for extremity foot surgery is very light. They are out which is what most people want to know, they're not going to wake up during the procedure.
But, it's very light, it's very safe. The procedures are always around an hour to two hours max so there's not as much time under and henceforth, less complications and less difficulties waking up and feeling groggy or hungover.
What about post-operative recovery and rehabilitation?
Lastly, is the post-operative recovery. We have all of our parameters laid out unless things change of course.
You can always get into our office with texts or email or phone calls if anything happens during hours or after hours.
And, furthermore, we prepare for anything. For example, I had a patient who probably needed a special type of walking boot because it was a surgical fracture that I was correcting. And, they wanted a little bit more freedom so we have these knee boards with wheels on them, it's kind of like a scooter so they can get around the house easier. Wheelchairs, walkers, even a bedside commode because a patient didn't want to have to walk all of the way to the bathroom
But, we have covered all bases. So, whatever your needs are, we can take care of the post-operative period and make sure that you are comfortable.
And, then of source, the rehabilitation, some procedures don't need rehabilitation. Other procedures do.
And, we can coordinate work, return, lighter duty. Things of that nature.
Of course, the forms for family leave, regular sick time, short term disability, all of these types of entities that have to be worked out before foot surgery are done by my staff.
What about costs, financial and other logistics?
We covered pain and other types of outcome concerns that my patients have but another high concern they have is about financing and also what's going to happen after surgery so I would like to talk a little bit about patient concerns on that level.
Over the years, the nice thing about practicing for this long is we have a staff that takes care of everything.
And, of course, I over simplify it when I'm with a patient. Cause it's not simple. But we have, when they come into the office, their insurance is already verified. We check to see where their deductible is, what type of out of pocket expenses they have, just for the office visit.
So, at least you know where you are on that level and not all offices perform that service.
Second of all, we look into the type of facility. For example, we have in-network and out of network facilities. I am an In-Network foot doctor and foot surgeon in Houston provider so they don't have to worry about my coverage on their insurance.
And, then of course, our office submits what type of procedures, are they going to be approved or not, so you're guaranteed that they're covered.
