Feedback from Our Students

Jeanette Goodwill, DC
“My goal in taking this series was to have certainty in knowing what to look for, what to adjust, and how to communicate that with the parents and Dr. Rosen’s SOT® Pediatric seminar provides just that. The information is so in-depth and hands on that you will leave with more certainty, connection, confidence, and better communication. Taken this course has increased the referrals in my pediatric practice, so if you’re on the fence about taking the series, just do it. The knowledge and hands on experience will take your practice to the next level.”

“My three takeaways:
1. How important it is to start giving care to newborns as soon as you can to have them function as optimally as they can
2. We view the body differently and examine the body differently so when hope is getting diminished we offer a new outlet of helping patients improve
3. To other DCs the amount of education that goes behind preparing the courses is next level. The mastery that Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson along with the assistants are amazing and is something I strive to master at as wellIt has been great to have conversations with patients and family/friends about how gentle yet effective chiropractic is for the pediatric population when all that is generally offered for many situations are drugs or surgery . I’ve personally seen a growth in confidence that I have now seen in the pediatric population. I am still learning a lot but with the little takeaways I’ve been getting from the courses that I have been able to implement it’s already making significant changes.
I now have kids come to me excited to get on the table and get adjusted, leave giving me hugs and want to adjust their toys. I have a newborn that has having difficulty latching who is now having an easier time.
I would recommend this course. It’s a lot of material which is amazing because the mastery that when behind developing the program is next level all with the intent of getting patients better. I truly feel every chiropractor should take this course – if they don’t want to specialize in pediatrics that’s fine but at least they then have a deeper understanding and appreciation for what pediatric chiropractors do and how every child should get checked.
I think you guys do a fantastic job of crossing all your t’s and dotting your i’s to make it easy for all the different types of learners.”
