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.
