Your presentation was fantastic! Everyone raved about how much they gained from the information delivered and with your interactive style you could have put on a 4 hr. half day CEU! So my only comment would be "They wanted more!"

"With your lively presentation, you made it easy to understand the connection between periodontal disease and heart attacks. A complex issue."
