Rave Reviews, Every Year
“The most exciting program of all the dental courses and experiences that I have ever had as a dentist… If you can attend only one course per year — this is it! I attend many throughout the year and this is THE one not to miss.”
“The most fun CE weekend ever!!!”
“I have already made reservations for next year. I would refer other people. If you would like a casual relaxing educational seminar this is it. Excellent speakers that make you feel at home. The hosts of the seminar go out of their way to make everybody welcome. A very good group of people.”
“One of the best courses you will take. The resort and setting are second to none, but most importantly are the guys putting this thing together. Howard & Roy are a fantastic duo… great enthusiasm for what they do, the lectures are entertaining and informative. We will definitely be back!”
“This course exceeded my expectations. All the lectures were very informative. It was a very nice time with great company. I would recommend this without a doubt!”
“Smiles in the Sun was a unique opportunity not only to learn about the latest materials and procedures from actual world class practitioners but also afforded me a venue to meet new dentists in a relaxing highly social atmosphere. A five star experience all around!!!”
“A great way to get up to date on the latest techniques and technologies, connect with other dentists from across North America, and have some fun in the process! Howard, Roy and the gang put on a top notch meeting. When you’re enjoying the sunset at Longboat Key Club, you’ll ask yourself ‘Why didn’t I do this last year!’”
“This is the best dental seminar I have ever been to! And the beach was the best and the beach party even better! This time in the sun reinvigorated me… I was wanting to sell my practice and leave dentistry!”
“I have attended three sessions of ‘Smiles in the Sun’. The location is wonderful, offering great facilities, excellent lodging and proximity to good restaurants. The lectures are both informative and represent an opportunity to exchange ideas with other professionals. Scheduled social activities provide entertainment for both participants and their families. This is a great opportunity to spend quality family time while expanding your professional knowledge.”
“Great meeting always a fun time! Smiles in the Sun offers a generous helping of ‘take-it-home and use it immediately’ information in a setting that balances business and leisure in a way that keeps the learning fun.”
“This was my first time at Smiles in the Sun and very impressed with the knowledge and presentation of all the instructors. Would definitely recommend this course to other professionals. As a CDA I was not looked down on and felt very comfortable and accepted as part of the team. Thank you for all your planning and acceptance of staff members.”
“This year was our 4th time at Smiles in the Sun. We love this CE event! The venue is second to none, and Howard, Roy and Rich make it a more intimate, personal experience by welcoming everyone and their families. We love you Smiles in the Sun!”
“This is my 6th year attending the Smiles in the Sun Seminar. My entire family, including my children and my parents, look forward to attending. Wonderful course with world class accommodations run by the nicest people. We wouldn’t miss it! Great time!”
“I just wanted to personally thank you for all the hard work that you did to arrange these last few days at the Smiles in the Sun Seminar. This course was fast and furious, exciting, exhilarating, fascinating, invigorating with new or old discoveries around every corner. Not only that but we all finished at the end as winners! This course was like being on a BOBSLED for the first time. You know what is coming… the speed, the bends and curves in the track and yet, you did not let us fall out or off. You guided us expertly and we all finished as winners. We can handle many more unexpected dental situations and curves that come along now. We are all winners because of you both. This seminar is a bargain for the price many, many times over. Thank you again for your hard work and may God Bless you and your families.”
