“Before I went off to vet school, one of my advisors at Penn State game me the best advice…”Once you start practice, play around for a few years and find something you like that you are good at…and then do everything you can to develop that skill to make yourself valuable.” – For me, dentistry has been that skill set. Not only do I enjoy it, I love being able to provide care and comfort to our patients. Not only have I gained all the dentistry knowledge one could ask for and more from Dr. Brett and all of his teachings, I've become the expert at my practice in anesthesia due to all the extra steps I take with pain management and also thanks to the anesthesia course.”

Hi Brett, I have attended many lectures and labs and the AVDC forum and consider myself an experienced general practitioner in the field of dentistry. I am now finished the extraction webinar. I would like to tell you that your webinars are outstanding. They have refreshed my skills in areas that needed refreshing and they have helped me improve my extraction skills and flap making in ways I didn’t think possible. Thank-you. Every veterinarian should be required to take these webinars before they practice dentistry.
Dr. Ron Altman
Mountain Parks Veterinary Hospital
Evergreen, Colorado
Dr. Beckman, thank you so much for an amazing weekend and your kind words. This was a “practice changer” CE course!! I am so energized to get back to work and try these new techniques. Thanks again for offering such an amazing class! I graduated in 1995 and would have loved to have been taught the proper way to extract teeth. I wish every vet student could benefit from your experience!!
Wendy Simpson

“I just wanted to say that it was great meeting you and I really enjoyed your dental extraction lab this past weekend in Atlanta. I had a PM4 (208) slab fracture today on an otherwise healthy tooth and I successfully extracted it! If it wasn’t for your lab I would not have even attempted to extract this tooth. Your course has given me the knowledge and courage that I very much needed. I even did the caudal maxillary never block that I watched from one of your videos.
I’ve attached a picture of myself after my first successful/ever attempted PM4 slab fracture. Keep doing great work!”

“I had attended 2 different wetlabs with different veterinary dentists. They were very informative and certainly got me started on the road to becoming more comfortable and proficient at extractions. However, Dr. Beckmann's teaching style and excellent visuals improved my skill level and confidence exponentially. With confidence and increased efficiency, my time has procedure time decreased significantly.
I used to dread doing dentistry, thanks to the tools Dr. Beckman has provided, I now enjoy it!
Thank you Dr. Beckman!!”
