“After having been introduced to physiologic dentistry over 20 years ago, there is not a day in my practice that these principles don’t guide all my treatment decisions. I have helped so many patients who have been unsuccessful with traditional dentistry.”
Dr. Kevin Winters, Austin, TX

Dr. Trey Miller, Amarillo, TX

Dr. Keith Warr, Salt Lake City, UT

Dr. Ron Konig, Houston, TX
“Since graduating from Dental School 42 years ago, the consistently best Continuing Education Courses have been all of the courses that I took at LVI.

In light of our professional climate today investing in oneself is even more important today.”
Dr. Joe Henry, Orange County, CA

Dr. Lance E. Loveless, Austin, TX

Dr. Tim Gross, Hilton Head, SC

From bread and butter high quality restorative, to smile makeovers, to treating TMD, to treating OSA and much more…. I have been able to enjoy a profitable and rewarding career by investing in myself and practice and taking as many LVI courses as I could.”
Dr. Mark Tompkins, Cornelius, NC

Dr. Deric Ikuta, Fresno, CA
“My LVI education has been life changing for so many of my patients, but also for me as well. 2020 was a hard year for all with closures, evolving guidelines, and so much more….However, my LVI clinical and business management education allowed us to actually have our best year ever.”
Dr. Randi Green, Springfield, MO

Dr. Tracey Hughes, Boulder, CO
“The principles of physiologic based dentistry I learned at LVI are the foundation for everything I do in dentistry. Without this education, I wouldn’t have had the success in my career I’ve had, both financially and ability-wise.”
Dr. Joe Serra, Mt Pleasant, SC
“My LVI education has transformed my life into something that I am proud of and confident to share with others. If it weren’t for LVI and Bill Dickerson, I don’t think I would still be in dentistry today. My ROI is not only financial but is also emotionally, professionally, personally, and a real sense of accomplishment. My LVI education ROI is also the smiles, and tears, and kind words from my patients about how I changed their lives for the better.”
Dr. John Pawlowiz, Lyndora, PA
“PBD has been the single most important principle I have ever adopted for my career. It’s taken my practice to greater productivity, and given me a greater level of satisfaction than I could ever have envisioned or achieved with my previous training. It took me from providing insurance influenced dentistry to completely changing the lives of patients that had nowhere else to turn.”
Dr. Jim Olsen, Ann Arbor, MI
“I started going to LVI courses in 2008 and haven’t looked back. The sheer amount of relevant material packed into each course makes the money and time well worth it.”
