Customer Reviews
Spotty coverage
Occasionally, the interviewers and their subjects provide important new information or well thought out summaries of new guidelines. More often than not however this feels like a talk show, with some nice discussion and nothing new that I will implement in my practice. Some of the interviewers in particular are extremely flowery and complementary, bordering on obsequious and nauseating.
Too LITE
The prior versions when hosted by the late Fred Bovie and Spencer King were more in depth with printed summary and references. Thie current version is lacking in depth of analysis and is fittingly called ACCEL Lite.
ACCEL
I always enjoyed the prior ACCEL recordings that were very informative. The ACCEL lite interviews are interesting but lack the depth of the previous longer interview format.
