This is by far one of the best if not “the best” CE course I have attended during my oral surgery career. From the presentations, facilities, hospitality, Dr. Pikos and his team made this a great learning experience. Dr. Pikos is not only a great surgeon and teacher but also a fantastic host.

Dr. Pikos is a living legend. Everyone who wants to learn evidence based surgical procedures from a very passionate, caring and dedicated surgeon and who wants to up their surgical skills should take his courses, not only sinus lift. I will definitely be coming back for more. Can’t wait! Thank you Dr. Pikos for sharing your extensive knowledge.

Dr. Pikos is real and honest. It makes him approachable and engaging. Because of his honesty and transparency it allows you to believe in the techniques. It makes you cautious about what can go wrong, but confidence in the tools and information you get from the course.
