Testimonials


I learned a lot about a subject that MANY of us in dentistry try to avoid

I just finished watching a video of your lecture from the ODA convention in Toronto in May of this year. I attended the convention but did not attend your lecture in person. I wanted to take a brief minute to say thank you for your presentation. It was interesting, informative, and delivered by somebody that obviously has a tremendous passion for what you are doing.  I learned a lot about a subject that a lot of us in dentistry try to avoid.
Denis Beauchesne, DDS

Fabulous in every aspect
I knew that the workshop was going to be fabulous but I could not imagine how fabulous it turned out to be in every aspect. Dr. Brown has a wonderful workshop leadership style and has mastered adult learning. I enjoyed the workshop tremendously.
Pam Alston, DDS
TOOLBOX OF CURRENT AND RELEVANT INFORMATION
This workshop is educational, interactive, and fun! It was the first 2-day course that I did not want to miss. I walked away with a toolbox of information that was current and relevant and want to share with my patients and colleagues.

Dr. Brown shed a whole new light on the topic of addiction and dentistry
I loved the workshop. It was truly a wonderful experience. I really appreciated the treatment strategy part and how to treat the high caries rate and salivary flow issues of methamphetamine users. The breakout groups were great. I now understand about both addiction and sobriety and the challenges associated with both. Dr. Brown shed a whole new light on the topic of addiction and dentistry.
Monica Bruce, DDS

Passion and depth of knowledge
Dr. Brown’s passion and depth of knowledge make the course interesting and engaging. Dr. Brown helped me feel more comfortable identifying meth use and talking to my patients about meth. The patient testimonials were informative and helped provide a context for the course. I now feel that I have a practical approach to treatment and a better understanding of these patients.

Everyone enjoyed the presentation
From our first email to the actual event, you have been so delightful to work with! You were quick to respond which helped me to feel confident that all details for the program were in place and easy to execute. Your program was engaging for the attendees (all 250 of them)! Your expertise for this topic was clear, concise and pertinent for all members of the dental team from dentists, hygienists, dental assistants to the front office. The feedback from attendees supports this. Everyone enjoyed the presentation!

Dr. Brown is brilliant in her approach

Dr. Brown is brilliant in her approach to learning and sharing her knowledge as she takes the audience step by step through the evidence-based research process. The information is clear, easy to follow and accessible. Not only did I learn more in this 2.5 hour seminar than I had in my 3 month epidemiology and statistics course, I thoroughly enjoyed the topic matter and Dr. Brown's warm and professional personality. Thank you Dr. Brown for this stimulating experience.
