Read MoreTina was a fantastic instructor, and I would recommend this course for anyone who is afraid to get their local anesthesia certification. The course was very informative and Tina always made sure to answer any questions you might have during the whole process. I will tell you in was absolutely terrified to take the course, but Tina will set you up for success. After I finished the course, I felt confident that I had the knowledge and techniques to administer local anesthesia to my patients. I honestly can't recommend her enough.
