Podcast #42 Selective Retreatment Considerations & Cases, and a Schilder Throwback
WOW! That was a GREAT PODCAST! I really enjoyed the Dr. Schilder stories and the history of Dr. Goldman, Grossman and Amsterdam. I don't normally watch podcast because they're too long but I always listen to yours. I really admire the time and effort you and Lisette put into these shows. I also appreciate your advise on life choices and the people that inspire you and mentor you. I've made some great choices in my life with the heroes that I follow and learn from. You have a great family and I have so much respect for you. Your communication skills are outstanding and I never stop learning. You make endodontics FUN! You're my hero! Tom Nasser
