Your passion and well organized information was only rivaled by your enthusiasm and great knowledge.” then a few months later:  “Yesterday I had a Dental Assistant who went into a severe allergic reaction with her throat closing. I didn’t panic and kept cool knowing I had taken your course in Emergencies and was capable of dealing with it. I activated the Emergency Rescue system you taught and it went by the book. Afterwards her Physician mentioned to her that I had saved her life.” Simon Cherif, DDS Queens, NY
