“Since 2005, I have been attending the Kois Center, and the education I've received there has profoundly transformed the way I practice dentistry... while Dr. Coachman has taught me the immense value of leveraging emotions in dentistry to connect with patients. The collaboration between Dr Kois and Christian Coachman represents the pinnacle of dental education.”
Dr Ali Afshar, DSD Clinic owner, Canada
"Forty three years later I am enjoying practicing dentistry even more than ever. Why? I have had the opportunity to learn from Drs John Kois and Christian Coachman, two of the premier educators in the world.
