Staff Training
Mentoring
Bring your staff and learn together
The mentoring program is an exciting and insightful program customized to meet individual Doctor and patient needs. Telephone consultations alongside guided in-office patient treatments are the most comprehensive approach to integrSating implants into your practice.
A Doctor may schedule a 1-on-1 mentoring with Dr. PK Clark or may also participate in as a member in a Group Mentoring. Both programs allow Doctors to bring their own cases to the training center however, we are able to travel to your office and perform mentored treatment and provide staff training.
Mentoring is by appointment only. For more details, please contact Bobbi St. Jeor at 800-808-3552.
