Highly recommend this Endo course to any dentist. John and Jordan are very encouraging, thorough, and determined. They make sure you get what you wanted from this course, which can be applied to the next day in your practice. The course was highly well organized, and IDEA treated us like the most important guests in the world.

John and Jordan are master teachers. They do a great job of simplifying the difficulty. I wish I would have taken this course right after dental school. If you want to do endodontics, take this course.

Endodontics hands on course John West

IDEA and Dr. Jordan and John West went above and beyond with the mini residency. I was fearful in attempting my molar endo, now, I feel competent and confident to take them on.

Rachit Patel
General Practitioner, Orange Park, FL
Root Canal Treatment

On day one we all set a personal goal of what we want to be. Mine was cleaning and shaping to working length, something I've struggled with. I feel now confident and cannot wait to apply what I have learned from the Endo legends John and Jordan West. All the IDEA staff were so supportive.
