Feedback from Our Students

Dr. Dylan Roy
“I took this program to get more on hand training for peds. We have shifted how we have been practicing the last year and I so want to be more capable of serving little ones.
My three takeaways:
1. The Hands on
2. Workbook is great to get further understanding before going into each seminar weekend (should just add this into the program cost so people are required to get it)
3. The science is great!This program has helped me gain more confidence – still a long way to go in utilizing everything I learned thus far. I believe this would be really beneficial to other Chiropractors who want to learn more about caring for peds patients and understanding the science and whole anatomy in doing so.”

“I tool this program because I have a practice with a lot of children and wanted to understand cranial care so I could better help these families.
My three takeaways:
1. Chiropractic schools do not adequately prepare the profession to care for the cranial injuries that infants and children often need help with.
2. These Peak Potential classes are the finest and most detailed cranial courses I have ever taken.
3. It will take me many years of hard work and study to truly master cranial work . . . but well worth the investment of time and resources to pursue this part of my practice.I have been practicing for nearly 25 years. This training has really opened my eyes to a completely new (and powerful) resource that will challenge me and motivate me to work diligently for my next 50 years in practice to be the very best I can be to help as many children as possible for the rest of my career.
This is all very new to me, but I have had several patients that it has been effective to use these techniques to help with babies suffering with ear infection, colic symptoms and many other issues.At this point in my career I have little time for rah rah, motivational chiropractic seminars or zero interest in practice management. If I am going to spend money, time and resources on my chiropractic education I do not want it to be a waste of my time away from my family and business. With 25 years in practice it is my experience that Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson has put together the most challenging, rewarding and useful seminars I have ever attended. Truly has made an impact for the best in my life and practice. Really, truly . . . so blessed to meet you both and learn from you.
Thank you both for making the sacrifice to come and do these seminars and take the process so seriously to make sure we are learning well and fully engaged and challenged to be the best we can be.”
