Hey Tina I just wanted to update you! So far I’ve done a handful of infiltration, AMSA, and incisive nerve block, and PSA. Yesterday I got complimented on how I gave the most gentle shot….. I could only think about you because you taught me what I needed to know. So grateful for you!

Tina is exceptional! Very kind and reassuring. Tina is so great at keeping things simple while understanding the bigger picture. I loved the clinical aspect and bringing real life situations to use. I feel super confident going into work and giving local anesthesia. She had a great team for our hands on portion! Definitely the class I’m recommending to all of my friends!
