“Bill Strupp is a true master. He is one of the finest clinicians on the planet and has the unique capacity to translate that into being one of the finest dental educators in the world. His meticulous attention to detail, coupled with his organizational skills, leads to a clinical outcome that is unparalleled. A large majority of his patients are dentists (or their partners) who have experienced his seminars, seen his exquisite work, and have chosen him, above all others, to do their restorative work. That speaks volumes.”
