"I've been taking CE courses for over 20 years, and I've had the best experience thus far with the NY County Dental Society. It has been really easy to register for the courses and I've always been greeted by a warm and friendly staff! The knowledgeable instructors have made learning enjoyable, especially with some of the mandatory courses."
