"Dr. Hedge's digital photography course is a must for any dentist looking to expand their practice into the digital age of communication. His in office course will provide you with all of the necessary information to learn about digital photography and cameras as well as how to impliment this technology into your office. Your patient communication, case presentation, and profitability will all significantly increase with the information you will get from this course. This was easily the most important continuing education course I've attended in years."

"I just want to thank you for all the great messages [on the genR8TNext message board] about the newest in digital cameras for dentistry. I feel so fortunate to be a part of a bunch of people who are so willing to share their knowledge and experiences. At the risk of sounding too sappy, I am so grateful that you do the legwork so that others can become better dentists. You are really a good guy!
I [also] wanted to thank you for an informative day at your lovely country club! The presentation was good and the food was great! And the office hospitality was the best. I enjoyed all you had to share and your answering the endless questions that I had. When I finalize my office plans, I may force them on you for a look-see!"

"I was there [Digital Dentistry Course at LVI] and it was awesome ... lots of new technology ... lots of time to learn and use it and great, light hearted delivery. I didn't know it was back to back with my Comprehensive (Master's) course, but spent an extra $500 bucks changing flight plans, hotel (mine was full for the weekend) and rental car. It was worth the trouble, money, time and getting home at 3:00 AM only to go to work at 8:00! Andy Thompson from Norman Cameras was very helpful, and a great guy. Almost every digital camera that you would want to try; they had it. Good food, good beer too ... even for a weekend!"

"I have to share with everyone just how OUTSTANDING Tom Hedge's Photography course / workshop was yesterday in our office. We shared it with 5 other offices, docs and teams and everyone gave him great reviews. Actually the name of the course should have been 'dental technology for dummies'. I now know more about YOUR high technology stuff than I ever thought I'd know as a RDH. Dr. Wright, and I know all of you doctors do it too, keeps buying more stuff we team members don't know how to use. We finally learn it, then start to incorporate and using it, and then you bring home more new stuff YOU learned about in a course or convention floor and YOU now have to teach at least one of us, but should be all of us, and we all know that rarely happens in the course of our busy worlds. So off to some corner the project goes BUT someday when we all have the TIME we will start using it. SOUND FAMILIAR?
As a team member this can be a challenge and sometimes frustrating, as well as all the stuff we have to do for the patients and the office too. Well, Tom helped us all, with all our stuff we all didn't know how to use.
First on photography. I've known how to take photos with our cameras, I just don't do it much because it always took me sooooooo much time and energy because I'm somewhat, OK almost totally camera illiterate. I personally have the shoot and go type camera. So there has been times I just didn't take photos when I knew I should have. Our office cameras have always been a lot of work for not only me but the rest of our team too. And we had to always bother Dr. Wright for help. NOT ANY MORE. That right there is worth his price alone.
Then he helped us with making PowerPoint presentations. Better yet, we bought his wonderful templates he has already made and he uses that comes with the book on photography and all the technology stuff to. Now I know PowerPoint fairly well because I make my own presentation and lecture with it but I'm not savvy like many of you presenter on this site with the gift of understanding electronic and high tech technology stuff. I've been given the responsibility of making our offices PowerPoint presentation and consult and it's real frustrating work for me and I bet many of your staff members you've given this chore to as well. NOT ANY MORE. I know more about PowerPoint than ever and wait till you see my new show....I'm gonna look savvy. So if you want fast and easy, just buy his book and invest in his workshop and help us team members help you. To understand more bring your team and take the photo course in Orlando. Thanks Tom!"

It was a great pleasure to meet you in Edmonton, Alberta with your Digital Dentistry presentation. My digital dentistry is getting better and thank you very much for your knowledge and some practical tips. A digital camera in my practice is now as important as a mirror or perio probe. This is such a powerful tool to make a proper and acceptable treatment plan for my patients.... Thank you again.

Tom Hedge's Digital Dentistry course was absolutely fabulous! I can't wait to move into my NEW office and use my NEW photo room. I only hope I can produce as excellent portrait shots as Tom! Actually, I have to admit... Tom taught my assistant and I Power Point in about 45 minutes. We even put a slide show of before and afters together on the plane trip home. My assistant has also started a neuromuscular power point presentation. NO, No No, Burnsy, you can't have her!!!
Also if you thought an intraoral camera was a cool tool, you should see what a patient picks out when you take a full series of shot with a digital camera. They don't look at it as a single tooth, but instead they see the big picture. Big shots=big cases!!
Tom your not "chopped-liver", you da BIG enchilada!!
A friend of mine who has never been to LVI said he just bought a 10D upon recommendation from Tom. I knew you were Lord of Digital Dentistry, but geeez.
