The level of instruction and professionalism is exceptional. Regardless of your skill level or orthodontic knowledge, the program offers different sessions to suit your needs. After taking several of the sessions, it has increased my confidence and didactic knowledge which has allowed me to take on more challenging cases. Dr. Samson provides an excellent mix of literature while showing how that translates to practical applications. His attention to the details and his passion for what he does is very obvious from the time you step into his classroom. Without hesitation, I would recommend any of the educational opportunities with Gnathos and I promise you will not be disappointed. I would give it a 6* if I could.

I love the courses and the instruction. Dr. Samson is very fun and a brilliant wealth of knowledge to all that attend his courses. Highly recommended!

Always a great experience! So much knowledge combined with an entertaining style makes learning great!

Just returned from another great meeting in the (g)nathos classroom! Dr. Gerry Sampson was informative and entertaining as always! I love how Gerry is happy to pause his planned material to go off on a tangent diving into a technique or concept when someone has a question. It feels like he is leading an open discussion vs a boring preplaned lecture. His background as a dual trained pediatric dentist and orthodontist proves to be invaluale as an educator in not only orthodonics, but also growth and development.

The presentation by Dr. Samson was absolutely stellar. Dr. Samson is an enthusiastic, engaged, and dynamic speaker who made me feel that he truly cared about my growth as a new doc. Can’t wait to hear him again down the road.

A true life changing experience. If you are serious about understanding orthodontics and incorporating it into your practice, this is the place to be! Dr. Samson doesnt sell anything else than knowledge. And he has a lot to share...

For any orthodontic treatment provider who seriously believes in continuous improvement and lifelong learning, I would recommend attending a lecture by Dr. Samson. Dr. Samson has almost 40 years of orthodontic experience and a vast knowledge of evidence based literature. Whether you are an orthodontist or a pediatric dentist - no matter your skill and experience level in providing orthodontic treatment, you can be certain you will learn something new or enhance your understanding in taking a course with Dr. Samson.As a pediatric dentist providing orthodontic treatment myself, Dr. Samson’s knowledge of pediatric dentistry and orthodontics I find particularly relevant to me. Last but not the least, I must commend Dr. Samson on his witty and humor filled style of presenting serious material. Dr. Samson is an effective presenter who knows how to captivate his audience. I am grateful for having the opportunity and deciding to take a course at Gnathos with Dr. Samson. My time attending his lectures was definitely well spent!

Dr. Samson’s presentation is evidence based orthodontic practice. He made it clear to my faculty and residents so they all have take home points. In addition, his presentation is so entertaining that he could keep my students attentive for the entire 2 hours. Thanks

This is an excellent course that provides a clear introduction to diagnosis, treatment planning and mechanics for the developing dentition and craniofacial complex. Dr. Samson doesnt just teach you what to do, he teaches you how to think critically and how to avoid making mistakes. He discusses what can go wrong in addition to showing you successful outcomes. I highly recommend this course.

Being a part of this group has been the best professional decision I have made. On a clinical level, the education is beyond excellent. Additionally, Dr. Samson is an inspiration to be my best professional self and is a wealth of knowledge and information that has given me much security and confidence in my career. There is more support and camaraderie in gnathos than in any other dental group I belong to. A good thing especially for these trying and unprecedented times.

Dr. Sampsons teaching of orthodontic principles are grounded in science and is relevant to my daily practice. Compared to other orthodontic CE, I come away feeling Im getting the best information and that helps me improve the quality of care I provide to my patients to achieve better outcomes clinical as well as more satisfed patients and parents.

I have heard Dr. Samson speak on several occasions and he always has very valuable information to share. He’s one of my favorite speakers and I always look forward to his seminars!!

Great insight into the amazing world of biomechanics! I especially liked the hands-on/ tracing part & the big 3-D tooth model to demonstrate how a tooth reacts differently when different forces are placed on a tooth. Thanks very much for the inspiring & fun lecture!

Very informative and interesting lecture. A good mix of evidence based content and light hearted banter

Fantastic modern day orthodontic training for any dental professional that treats children!!

I have attended two seminars from gnathos, both with excellent speakers. All the participants were great. It was truly eye opening experience for me. I wish I had know this group ten years earlier. Thank you Dr. Samson, Dr. Taylor, Dr. Goodman, Dr. Elliott, Dr. Slonkosky, and Ms. Lowry.

Good value information. Great class. I did really enjoy!

Dr. Samson is an amazing speaker with so much knowledge. He has a real passion for the topic and it really shows in his speaking!! Can’t wait to hear another lecture!

I have been practicing Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics for my patients in Arlington, Virginia since 1990. Towards the end of my residency at MUSC in Charleston, South Carolina Dr. Ron Bell, Chairman of the Department of Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics gave me a list of guidelines for success in the practice of Pediatric Dentistry. One of Dr. Bells recommendations was: Continuing Education of the best quality was paramount to successful long term practice. Dr. Bell gave me a brochure to a lecture Dr. Gerry Samson was giving back around 1990. After listening to lecture Dr. Samson presented I became a student in the (g)nathos School of Orthodontic Education. Through the years (g)nathos has educated me and challenged me think...and has helped me to be the best doctor possible for my patients and for my community. I give the (g)nathos organization (Dr. Gerry Samson) my highest recommendation for Orthodontic Continuing Education.

The interceptive Ortho and CMDD could be considered essential CE for the pediatric dentist. Dr. Samson is an outstanding lecturer and wants you to understand mixed dentition orthodontics and growth and development. His information and lectures are evidence-based, the supplemental information and videos continue your learning when you leave the Gnathos classroom.  Gerry and Co. keep you entertained and engaged during this immersive experience!

Gerry always gives informative lectures that are also very entertaining. One of the best to do it.

Dr. Samson provided great educational content and his excitement for teaching is evident! Thank you for a wonderful class!

Dr. Samson presented a great clinical case where he was honest about his obstacles. He provided helpful tips for patient management as well.

Excellent lecture by Dr. Samson! He has an absolute command of the material he presented on mixed dentition orthodontics. All of his information is based on the current, best science. He is fun, entertaining, and kept the audience engaged through active interaction with us and great music. His handout is very thorough, supplements his lecture, and is packed with information so the learning continues even after the course ends. I would give my highest recommendation for anyone interested in age-appropriate orthodontics to attend a course given by Dr. Samson.

I gained a vast amount of knowledge and I was able to keep engagedthe entire time.

Very informative and entertaining. Dr. Samson is great at answering any questions you may have. He truly knows the best tips and techniques to make your ortho cases easier, get through the treatment faster, and save you money in your costs. He also does a great job of incorporating practice management pearls to make your practice and your team better at customer service. All around a top notch program. One added bonus is the fact that you can brainstorm with like minded dentists from around the country. I would highly recommend! -Dr. Nathan Burns, pediatric dentist

I have heard Dr. Samson several times over the years and I have always found his presentations to be very useful. He is extremely organized, very knowledgeable and is one of the best teachers I have had the pleasure to know. The lecture material is always presented in such a way that I am able to use it my first day back in the office. Thank you so much for what you have offered to our profession.

Have been a student of Gerry Samsons since my pediatric residency 34 years ago. Very entertaining, but most of all, informative. He tells you when there is research or science behind something, or if it is his opinion. Takes time to explain difficult concepts regarding the physics and mechanics of tooth movement. You can really tell he loves to teach!

Dr Samson has really expanded my understanding, knowledge and ability to confidently apply his teaching. I would without reservation recommend his courses for anyone wanting to do more orthodontics, understand growth and development better, or in general be a better provider for his or her patient population! Great course! Always eager to return for the next year!

A great fun learning experience. An opportunity for colleagues to share knowledge and gain valuable insights into evidence based treatment. I have traveled every year to Atlanta from Ireland for seminars since nineteen ninety three. The class is small and active participation is encouraged.

Gerry and company are highly recommended for any dentist wanting to learn orthodontics for Children. I appreciate their commitment and enthusiasm for teaching and sharing their years of knowledge. Thank you!

Very insightful lecture, almost mystical!!! Learned about many important aspects in orthodontics that would not have thought about and probably would have never found out through any residency program. Dr. Samson is an outstanding lecturer that will keep you engaged throughout!!!

Attended a fit and finish course and will certainly be back down to attend more classes.Dr Samson is a super approachable, talented instructor who shares his passion about Orthodontics willingly and has a way of explaining complex subjects to dolts such as myself in a way that makes sense.Thanks again Doc for your hospitalityD

I always benefit from attending one of Gerrys lectures. I have not attended the gnathos orthodontic seminars, but anytime theres an opportunity to hear Gerry speak at a dental meeting then I make sure to attend his course. His courses are thoughtful, exciting, inspiring, and ultimately very helpful. Gerry always has several pearls of wisdom to share with attendees that are spot-on, and ultimately they will help you to improve your practice.

Gerry is the best and Ill be back next year!

Ive been attending Gerry Samsons courses annually since 1989 and have not missed! There is no better bang for the buck in continuing education anywhere. I look forward to his meetings every year.(G)nathos has become an essential part of how I make decisions in every aspect of my pediatric dental practice. Love it!Brad

Dr. Samson is a very interesting and engaging speaker. He is passionate about pediatric dentistry and Orthodontics and you will not be bored during his seminars. His 37 years of experience in clinical practice and academia is invaluable and he loves to share all that with the audience.

Always a great time in “the classroom” with Dr. Samson and his lineup of highly respected guest speakers. Every time I go to the MIX I am psyched about the new insights on treatment philosophy, practice management, and life in general! Great course, great people...would highly recommend.

The CMDD is informative and entertaining. You don’t just learn what to do, you learn the mechanics of why. He really understands growth and development and you will too after this course.

Dr. Samson is an excellent speaker, very knowledgable, and cares about the education of the next generation of orthodontists. I had the pleasure of attending a CE course at West Virginia University. He provided valuable insight to not just clinical aspects but practice management as well. Dr. Samson shared many experiences that helped him build his practice. I certainly hope he comes back again. Warning...Dr. Samson very animated, a lot of fun, and has a humor that will keep your attention! Hope to see you again soon

The gnathos course was fantastic. You will definitely get your money’s worth. The instructors are knowledgeable and down to earth. They have years of experience and back it up with evidenced based literature. I feel more confident in my ability to treat mixed dentition cases and would recommend the course to any dentist looking to improve or build their orthodontic knowledge base. Oh, and can’t get enough of that hair!! Thanks Gerry and crew!!

Thank you for facilitating and helping us refocus. It was a good meeting of the minds. Your presentation was very good- filled with lots of insights stories and take aways.

Gnathos with Dr. Samson remains the best CE investment I’ve done in my career. Gerry’s teaching methods and desire for you to grasp what are difficult concepts are the primary drivers in an enlightening and enriching experience. You’re going to get much more than an orthodontic education as he challenges you to grow in many ways beyond dentistry.

This is not just quality orthodontic education, but wonderful life coaching and tremendous interaction among the attendees. I feel after 25 years of Gnathos I’m very competent at orthodontics and a better person. Thanks G.

Great experience. Dr Samson covers a lot of material in a short amount of time. He does a great job of mixing lecture with case presentation with hands-on experience while in the classroom. He is good at explaining material to dentists of all experience levels. I highly recommend gnathos.

I have enjoyed the content, structure and community of the Gnathos courses. Gerry is an excellent clinician and teacher. He communicates with the class very well and creates an excellent learning environment.

Dr. Samson is an animated, knowledgeable speaker! He has a passion for teaching and a talent for doing it in a way that makes you forget youre in a CE course! Id highly recommend taking one of his courses!

Great learning experience and extremely informative. Highly energetic atmosphere and a great way to build a network of friends and colleagues who have same ideals. Highly recommend!!

Very educational and entertaining as well. I always come back from their courses rejuvenated! I highly recommend the Gnathos courses.Steven Bradley DDS

A fantastic course both from the fundamentals of orthodontics point of view as well as mechanics. Gerry offers great insights as both a pediatric dentist and an orthodontist. I plan on going back for future CMDDs!

I wish there was 10 stars in review operations. I take a long flight from Los Angeles to be inspired and learn from Dr Samson. After doing two sessions with him, my treatment planing and case management have improved dramatically. I recommend being part of this experience full heartedly without any reservation.

Fantastic Course! Very in-depth and engaging. Gerry is an excellent teacher and a wealth of wisdom. Thanks again Gerry!

It was a pleasure to hear Dr. Samson speak! Thank you!

I have been attending gnathos for 17 years. It is the best education anywhere in the country. Gerry is the best with evidence based materials and treatment options for all orthodontic cases that one may encounter in their practice. If you have not attended then you are missing out. So do you and your patients a big favor and sign up now. You can contact me anytime for information or questions. Butch Shows.

I have studied with Dr Samson Ger for almost 25 years. He is a brilliant speaker and always entertaining. One of the best minds in his field!

The lecture was very useful in many aspects! clinically and also patient management wise. Dr. Samson has a very nice personality as well.

Dr. Samson and the (g)nathos group remain on the cutting edge of orthodontic education for pediatric dentists and orthodontists. The classroom learning environment is by far the most relaxed and conducive to interaction and learning by participants and educators!

Without access to this organization and it Tribal Elder DrGerry Samson, my career in Pediatric Dentistry would have had a huge voidHis mentor ship over the past 25 years has been one of life’s greatest gifts and continues to keep givingThere are not many people in my life that make me feel like a 24 year old student again, but whenever I am with The Chief.... Dr Samson I am a resident in Dentsl School again... his friendship and teachings have worth way way beyond $$ and words

Great meeting venue and always first class education in orthodontics and dentistry. Highly recommended!

Always very informative. Makes you think and reflect. Empowering. Thank you, Dr. Samson!LDD

Dr. Samson was engaging and a natural educator. The day flew by and I gained a strong base of knowledge, absolutely a 5 star doctor and program.

(g)nathos is the undisputed heavy weight champion in orthodontic eduction in my book. Dr. Samson has the ability to teach in a way that demonstrates knowledge and passion for the subject. Its the only CE class environment that keeps your attention, has fun and prepares you to use what you learn when you leave. Ive been attending (g)nathos eduction for 16 years and its the one that keeps me inspired and confident to keep doing what Im doing at at the office. If you are interested in orthodontic eduction you will not be disappointed.

Excellent course! Not only great ortho, but Gerry is great about adding some other topics that are informative and needed. He has a good beat on the national scene of ortho, practice management and anything to do with running a practice. These days are priceless to attend. Great opportunity to meet and talk with many successful practitioners nationwide.

Dr. Samson has been invited to lecture Chinese orthodontists at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland for almost 10 years. Students are greatly impressed with his knowledge and passion for teaching. We are horned to have him. Thank you, Dr. Samson.

An intimate and intensely compact course! Gerry breaks down mechanics and applies evidence-based approaches to his teaching.

I am an orthodontist, and was very impressed with Dr. Samsons teaching ability and thoroughness. The amount of information he can cover in a relatively short amount of time, and the wealth of knowledge and resources he provides to the (g)nathos community, makes the experience of attending one of his courses very valuable, both in the short but also the long term, its the course that keeps on giving!

Great atmosphere and great people with an incredible amount of knowledge. I highly recommend this course.

Ive been part of gnathos for over 10 years and it is always an enlightening experience. Dr. Samson is dynamic and engaging and I always look forward to his classes.

I have attended several (g)nathos courses and will continue to return. Each course is well organized, the material presented is comprehensive and complete with research cited through out. But the best part is that you are engaged from the first minute to the last minute. Highly recommend (g)anthos to anyone wanting to know more about orthodontics.

Able to make a dry subject like biomechanics entertaining and simple to understand. Kept us engaged with various topics all day. Thanks

Join gnathos!!! Ive been taking Dr. Samsons course since 2007 and thankful for it. Loads of information, cases and snacks. Along with making long time friends and collogues. Plus good weather all the time!!

I have been a student of Gerry Samson since 1989. His teaching programs and mentorship have given me the skill an confidence to treat the vast majority of orthodontic problems that my pediatric patients present with. Having the ability to offer quality orthodontic care to my pediatric dental patients has increased my professional satisfaction and has provided a substantial financial boost to my pediatric dental practice as well. I will be forever grateful to Dr Samson and the (g)nathos organization for the opportunities they have given me.

Informative, thought provoking and applied knowledge

Always a wonderful learning experience this being my 29th year as a Gnathos member...so clearly I am a true disciple but would only continue if it was continuing to be a true educational experience.Outstanding from start to finish.....

Very valuable seminar! Dr. Samson is very entertaining and has a lot of wisdom and practical advice for improving customer service and patient’s experiences!

Dr. Samson is a fantastic speaker! Youll be so entertained youll forget its CE!

Dr Samson gives an attention gripping presentation on how to run an amazing Orthodontic practice called the Exceptional Office.

Fantastic information on comprehensive orthodontics along with great current information of the dental market place.

The best ever CE training experience. Thanks so much!

Be ready to learn and be entertained. Sessions are packed full with great information.

The best thing I have done for my pedo practice !! Great atmosphere and collaborative environment, Dr Samson is great teacher and mentor .

(g)nathos is quite simply the most in-depth, intense, and unique CE experience you can find. I have been attending Dr. Gerry Samsons courses for over 6 years and continue to be challenged. The material is always new and up to date. You can tell that Dr. Samson is intentional about meeting the needs of each class which provides an excellent value. Investing some of your CE time with (g)nathos will be one of the best decisions you can make, especially for anyone treating kids. More importantly, the community of attendees, and professionals I have met though (g)nathos has been one of the greatest gifts. Thank you Gerry! Keep up the great work!

Dr. Gerry Samsons Gnathos organization has been tremendously influential in my career. I would highly recommend Gnathos to any dentist or dental specialist who is interested in incorporating orthodontics in their practice or improving upon an existing orthodontic skillset. The course sizes are small and allow for an open dialogue with Gerry and some of the brightest minds in dentistry, most of which attend his courses on an annual basis. Five stars for sure.Ryan Shaw, DMDPediatric Dentistry of Pittsburgh

Awesome learning environment with great practitioners from across the globe ~ so invigorating !

Gerry is by far the best mentor you will find in orthodontics and practice trends. Attending Gnathos courses will change not only the way you practice dentistry, but also the way you see life in general. My annual visit in Marietta is always a highlight and I can’t wait to be back again with group 7–8 next year. I highly recommend dr Samson courses to anyone who is serious about learning evidence based orthodontic.Dr Frederic Poirier, Align Faculty, co founder of the CLEAR institute.

Gnathos provides excellent educational experiences! The events are educational and engaging!

The best there is if you want to get serious about doing ortho in your gp or pedo practice. Impressive knowledge and amazing speaker. And a lot of fun too!

Gerry gave a very informative, and entertaining presentation on early treatment of open-bites at the AAO Mid-Winter meeting in Scottsdale. I definitely got some great pearls on treating these very difficult open-bite cases in mixed dentition, including some biomechanics. If you get the chance to see Gerry lecture, dot miss the opportunity, you will learn things. Steven W. Frank, DDS, MS, Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics

I have taken several g(n)athos courses and I am never disappointed. Attention is always given to proper diagnosis followed up by straight-forward treatment options. Dr Samson and Dr Goodman were both informative and encouraging. By limiting the number of participants, its easy to ask questions and be engaged in the learning process. Beyond orthodontics both offer insight into practice management, informed consent/legal issues as well as the business of dentistry.The interceptive orthodontic class was an excellent review for me, but whenever I attend a g(n)thos course, I always learn something new that I can take back to my practice. I would strongly encourage any of my pediatric dentist colleagues to consider this course in the future. G(n)athos is top notch CE. You will not be disappointed.

Dr. Gerry Samson is always very entertaining and informative!

Terrific course and instructors in growth and development. A MUST for any dentist treating the growing child

Excellent speaker, I learned a lot and laughed a lot!

Practical, intellectual, and fun!This is the real deal!

Great nuts and bolts course!

An awesome experience everytime

Another great meeting.

Awesome presentation!

Excellent course!

Dr. Samson is an Ortho giant that generously shares orthodontic information without restraints. I truly recommend gnathos!

Its always an amazing experience at Gnathos
