This is a career highlight course for me. Sandro is a phenomenal clinician, researcher and human. The facility and small group made the course very valuable and memorable.
Excellent course - Excellent facilities.
Dr. Cortellini shares his vast knowledge very freely and it is all supported by extensive literature. He is extremely friendly and approachable for all the participants questions. The course is very well organized and covered every aspect of the procedures we learned 100% with detail. Overall, an outstanding course.
This is a course for every practitioner who is willing to practice at a very high level. Course is very detail oriented and comprehensive. We walk away with wealth of knowledge and necessary skills Highly recommend this course (in fact all courses at IDEA) for who wants to practice dentistry at a superior level.
I feel like hopeless teeth due to periodontal involvement were extracted by me, now I got the vision after attending Dr. Cortellini's advanced periodontics course to try to save those teeth. It was rejuvenating experience to stay forever in practice, I am 70 years old and have been practicing for 40 years.
Dr. Sandro Cortellini has exceeded my expectations. He is not only a great clinician, researcher, and instructor, but also a very approachable and friendly human being. I cannot be more proud of having taken his course and educating my patients and colleagues in what should be the standard of care. Thank you, Heike, and IDEA, for the opportunity.
This course taught by Dr. Cortellini was the BEST course I have taken so far in my entire career. Every single minute was valuable, and I would highly recommend it to anyone, who wants to improve their regenerative surgical outcomes!
As an oral surgeon, Dr. Cortellini opened my eyes to surgical procedures and treatment planning that I find truly invaluable and that can be applied to my practice. Thank you.
I had always wanted to attend a Dr. Cortellini course. His research and work are a source of inspiration for how I envisioned working in my practice. After attending his IDEA course, I was not disappointed. Grateful for the opportunity to learn from such a giant in my field."
Dr. Cortellini is a virtuoso and IDEA provides the ideal environment for professional instruction on a deep level.
