Reviews from Doctors

A Comprehensive Course with Practical Applications

A truly transformative experience. The didactic portion provided in-depth knowledge, Dr Fadi and Dr Dmitriy were incredibly knowledgeable and approachable. The hands-on component, on pig jaws, allowed me to lock in the techniques taught in the course. I now feel much more confident in understanding soft tissue grafting, suturing techniques, and harvesting. This course is a game-changer for any dentist looking to enhance their skills in implantology and periodontics.

Outstanding Learning Opportunity

As a dentist with a great interest in implantology, I can't recommend this course enough. You guys are true experts in the field and present the material in a clear and engaging manner. The hands-on practice with pig jaws was exceptionally valuable, allowing us to perfect our technique before applying it to real patients. The course covered a wide range of techniques and so many little clinical pearls that other courses don’t share! This CE course is worth more than what you guys charge!

Elevating My Dental Practice

I have been waiting a while for a combo course from Perio Amigos after taking Soft Tissue Only course the prior year! I highly recommend this course to any dentist looking to take their skills in both topics of Soft and Hard Tissue management to the next level.

Practical Techniques for Immediate Implementation

Seriously impressive CE! The didactic sessions were in so great depth, not comparable to other CE I’ve taken from other groups. I liked how the pig jaws learning experience closely follows all steps needed for real-life scenarios. I appreciated the great emphasis on soft tissue grafting which is essential for dental implant surgery. I am grateful to Dr. Ivanov and Dr. Hasan for this high-quality program and for being approachable and willing to share so much information with other dentists.

A Course That Exceeded Expectations

Having attended many CE courses on the same topics, I can confidently say that the Perio Amigos course stands out as exceptional. Your ability to simplify complex concepts made learning enjoyable and accessible. The hands-on training on pig jaws was the highlight of the course, allowing us to gain proficiency in various techniques, from bone grafting to soft tissue grafting. Additionally, the instructors' one-on-one guidance during the hands-on sessions was invaluable. I left the course feeling inspired and well-equipped to incorporate these new skills into my dental practice. Thank you for providing dentists with such an enriching educational experience.
