"Over the years, I’ve had the good fortune to attend implant-related CE courses given by some of the most gifted implant experts of our time. In that group of world-class mentors, I include Dr. Louie Al Faraje, who demonstrates a comprehensive knowledge of the didactic elements, yet focuses on the practical aspects of implantology, giving us information we need to help in making daily clinical decisions. He provides a top-quality venue, excellent organization of materials, and a refreshing humility, which encourages attendees to ask questions, and gives them the confidence to extend the range of services they offer to their patients."

"I took Dr. Al-Faraje's cadaver block grafting course recently. It was great to listen to a mentor with such a fresh perspective in teaching and addressing the audience. He openly shared his successes and his complications, which is the only way to truly learn from an instructor. He shared willingly tips and techniques to simplify the procedure of bone grafting and I felt truly rewarded for attending his course. This course has lots to offer to both experienced and novice surgeons."
