    Dr. Jusino believes strongly in the value of continuing education for himself, and the

 

      All Star Team.  Recently, we attended the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO)  

  

      meeting in Washington D.C. (May 4-8, 2018), and returned pumped with new ideas.

 

      We also brought back some awesome "Braces Earrings" patients can buy with their Tooth

 

      Tokens.  Check out the "Braces Bracelets," too on display in the Tooth Tokens prize case. 

      

     

       In February of 2017, the team attended a three day seminar in Orlando, Florida furthering

 

      our understanding of the Damon System.  Dr. Damon was a guest speaker, and  

 

      everyone returned with additional knowledge and training.  In 2021, CPR training was

 

      renewed for another two years.    To see pictures of the fun we have while attending

 

      continuing education "like" the office "Facebook" fan page! 

 

                                          

      In March of 2019, Dr. Jusino and our Executive Director Cathy attended the MAO annual

 

      session in Ann Arbor, Michigan.  Michigan Association of Orthodontists (MAO).

                                    

                                                                                       

     Dr. Jusino also attends a monthly study group with (8) other Orthodontic Specialists.

 

     The Doctors take turns meeting at each other's offices to discuss topics such as

 

     difficult cases, and practice management philosophies.  There is never an attitude of

 

     competition, only a willingness to help each other.  The members of Dr. Jusino's study

 

     group also share a legal agreement between themselves whereby they will come to the

 

     assistance of any doctor within the group who is incapacitated for any reason.  Fortunately,

 

     Dr. Jusino has never experienced a reason to take advantage of this "insurance policy."

 

     He is "feeling great and very healthy!"

                                                                             

         

           Members of the All Star Team are enrolled in the Academy of Orthodontic Assisting,

          

           and are required to complete training earning thirty hours of continuing education

         

           credits.  The All Star Team achieved Gold status in May of 2010.
