Dentist experiences with Western Surgical & Sedation

Feedback from general dentists who have completed training and applied what they learned in their own practices.

When I came to this course, my goal was to really clean up my surgical skills. I was already taking wisdom teeth out, but I wanted to go somewhere where I could refine those techniques. Dr. Hendrickson has so much experience.. and it was all here in the states. They over exceeded my expectations!

Dr. Glenn Vo

Don’t look anywhere else, this is your place, Western Surgical and Sedation. Heath is a general dentist, he is super friendly and he is on your side. I have taken many courses, people call me a CE junkie, but I have yet to find one better than this!

Dr. Justin Leath

The key reason [I came] was to learn to incorporate a technique that … has [been] utilized in my office for the past 8 years. To keep it number 1, safe, and just a painless experience for the patient. It is a Course I wish I would have taken 15 years ago. It just delivers a margin of safety that every general dentist with a patient-centered focus worries about. The ability to titrate the individual sedation per patient is wonderful!

Dr. Brent Porter

I would say, if you want to learn the right and the safe way to give IV sedation to your patients, understanding the parameters, learning the medication that you are using and how to use them correctly and safely for all your patients; this is the course to take!

Dr. Nelson Nuñez

I just wanted to thank Heath for opening up this fun and exciting avenue for production in my office. I have been doing one Friday of surgeries every other month since October. But demand is growing rapidly, and I may need to figure out how to incorporate it into the daily practice. WSS exceeded all expectations. Thanks guys!

Dr. Josh Rudin

If you are not doing wisdom teeth, I would encourage you to come and take this course, because I think you would be surprised what you can do with a little bit of training. A lot of the cases you are sending out you can easily do yourself. The first case they gave me after some instruction I think I did in about half the time I normally do….It has been a great experience, absolutely great!

Dr. Daniel Binkowski

Dr. Hendrickson is a really warm and down to earth practitioners and he never made me feel like I was beneath him. He made me feel like his equal, a colleague. I would describe his teaching methods as simple, I think simple is better. I think clarity is really important when you are doing something new. I traveled 3,000 miles to be here, so I would say, do it! Don’t wait!

Dr. Patricia Sharp

You can walk out of here and say this is something I can do, I am not worried like I was when I first came in. This course is everything I hoped it would be so that I can get out of here and not be like, ‘Wow, this is still to big for me.’ And it isn’t, they have broken it down so simple, makes it easy, everybody can do it. It is a simple technique and very, very safe. It is fantastic.

Dr. John Brady

I think it's probably good on really all levels. I mean, if you're looking for a refresher, I think it gets you right back into it. If it's kind of a first time, they explain it really succinctly, you know, in a very applicable way. If you're more advanced ... these guys are going to show you ways to make it quicker and more efficient. The wave of confidence feels pretty good.
