Best ever. Much better than wasting money at EVA/AVA conferences. Excellent exposure to basic and advanced equine dentistry. It is good to see that everybody is enthusiastic about teaching vets how to do dentistry the right way and not the 'lay' way.
I'm so glad my stud is located in the catchment for such an amazing dedicated vet with compassion and integrity. With lots of youngsters there is a need for six monthly dental checkups, which EVDS's helpful office staff organise for me 12 months in advance to suit the breeding calendar for the stud. The knowledge Oliver so happily shares with his clients has assisted me and my horses on numerous occasions and he is definitely the only vet allowed to perform any dental work on my horses.
Tutors were fantastic, both in their availability during the practical sessions as well as their skills, opinions and varied advice on each case.
Best by far - progression level from theory to practical was excellent and unlike many courses, not patronising. Tutor availability great and very helpful. Good sense of humor!
Oliver Liyou is one of nature's true gentlemen and I am honoured to now call him my friend. EVDS is his pride and joy and his customers, moreover our horses, are the true beneficiaries of the remarkably talented delivery of his profession. Put simply, Oliver is passionate about what he does, and his consistently high quality of work and expertise in his specialised field in my opinion makes him by far the best in NSW, possibly Australia and afar...
Love having Oliver visit each year for the horses - as well as us having our annual chat! He is a wonderful vet with a passion for horses, calm and thorough. Oliver has been treating my horses for years and is always on hand for advice. The staff at EVDS are always so helpful. I can't imagine what I'd do without them!!!
All tutors were sensitive to each person's individual needs and taught at the level they were at. A safe, non-judgemental environment to learn or relearn areas of the whole subject matter. Everyone was very approachable and understanding.
Oliver is professional and knowledgeable. I feel at ease knowing my horse is in good hands and getting the best treatment. Thanks Oli for keeping horses and owners across the mid north coast happy and health and for always providing service with a smile.
Can't recommend Oliver, Jenna, and all of the staff at EVDS highly enough. Oliver is kind, caring, and compassionate, and treats all of my horses (including my old rescue cases) like prized race horses. He always goes above and beyond, is extremely knowledgeable, and arguably one of the top professionals in his field. We are extremely lucky to have him in our local area.
Highly recommend this course to anyone starting dentals or needing to refresh. Should be mandatory prior to performing equine dentals!
