“After completing the VDP program in May, I had the confidence to seek out my dream job doing only dentistry and surgery.
Your leadership, mentorship, and expertise continue to positively affect the trajectory of my career! Words seem completely inadequate to express my gratitude. Thank you for everything you do and continue to do for all of your mentees! The ripple effect of your vision/passion is benefiting an untold number of companion animals. I am so proud to be part of this movement!”

“I graduated at a time when in vet school we didn't even do dentals, so for me this certification was an eye opener. I have learned most of my dental skills on the job and through CE classes, but I have never acquired the in-depth training that I received from Dr. Brett Beckman and his group. I am now so confident in the diagnosis of dental disease and conditions, along with doing extractions. I have also learned how to accomplish these skills in a timely manner. Thank you Dr. Beckman for taking the time to help me learn and expand my dental knowledge and career.”

“Before I went off to vet school, one of my advisors at Penn State game me the best advice…” Once you start practice, play around for a few years and find something you like that you are good at…and then do everything you can to develop that skill to make yourself valuable.” – For me, dentistry has been that skill set. Not only do I enjoy it, I love being able to provide care and comfort to our patients. Not only have I gained all the dentistry knowledge one could ask for and more from Dr. Brett and all of his teachings, I've become the expert at my practice in anesthesia due to all the extra steps I take with pain management and also thanks to the anesthesia course.”
