What others have said:

“I am pleased to send a positive report on the botox/filler training over the weekend. Patricia is a real expert both on content and on education. She taught in a calm, clear, and effective way, with a minimum of didacticism and a maximum of practicality. In the style of the best medical education, it was hands on nearly from the get-go, with demonstration, then direct supervision. The atmosphere was collegial. There was an excellent mix of patients. No time was wasted. The one-on-one training justified the cost. I particularly enjoyed the overwhelmingly favorable patient response. After years of traditional medicine, “Wow” factor is a pleasant surprise. Recommended to anyone getting started in this field.” ~ Dr. Carroll, MD, PhD (July ‘09)

“Just got back from Botox and Filler Boot Camp–had a FANTASTIC experience!! Well worth my time, money and travel. Not only do I now feel much more comfortable and confident in my ability to provide a good service, but I now have a better understanding of the technical and artistic side of Botox and Dermal filler. Anyone, like myself, who hasn’t had any experience in this area of aesthetics should take this course. Even individuals who have some experience will find it extremely helpful. Besides, the folks that teach it were great. Not only technically skilled, but also fun to work with. Rest assured, I will be going back to Canada for advanced filler training after I get some experience with the basic stuff!!” ~ Dr. Elliott, MD  (July ‘09)

“This is a true hands on course, in my view, the only way one can confidently succeed in implementing such practice. It is a good follow up after Scottsdale Symposium. The case variety included the full range of Botox and filler applications currently in use. By itself, the case selection seemed an amazing task.  much enjoyed the true life - real office experience of managing patients - from the initial interview, to the co-discovery of possibilities for treatment to the actual treatment and in several occasions, short term follow up. ” ~ Dr. Lahrs, MD  (June ‘09)

“ just wanted to tell you what a great weekend I had in Toronto. Patricia and her staff are among the most talented professionals I’ve met in this field. Her scheduling was flawless, and her attention to details made the day flow smoothly. She tailored the training to exactly what I needed. She and her staff have a way of putting everyone who walks through the door of the spa instantly at ease. There is no doubt in my mind that one day with her has given me a considerable competitive edge in my market of aesthetics.” ~ Dr. Twyman (June ‘09)
