Frank’s course mirrors the man – it is honest and straightforward. Any surgeon knows that complications occur and this course put them out front and center. The techniques are well thought out and taught in a fashion that may be reproduced with ease. Frank made the path and we have the privilege of this experience. His successes as well as failures were all shared. How many times I have gone to meetings and been told, “This is so easy…no complications”. Thank you Frank, for allowing me to help patients that cannot make it to your facility. Robert Spector, MD, Manchester, CT
Excellent course, brilliant technique. Thank you Frank, for developing this and for sharing not only your insights but your complications as well. Anita Nevyas-Wallace, MD, Bala Cynwyd, PA

An excellent surgical course with ample wet lab time along with excellent didactic, surgical observation and patient post-op exam segments.

I would highly recommend this course for a surgeon interested in learning DLEK and deep lamellar keratoplasty. James J. Sanitato, MD, Cincinnati, OH.

Descemet’s stripping is clearly the most practical and logical approach to DLEK and there is no better way to learn the technique than this course. Every aspect of the course is outstanding – the large numbers of practice eyes, actual surgeries and post op evaluations coupled with excellent videos and handouts are all appreciated. Most appreciated is Dr. Price’s generosity in sharing the minute details that allow the transition to DLEK to be as painless as possible. Thank you! You’ve definitely changed the way I’ll practice corneal surgery. John Parker, MD, Birmingham, AL
Thank you for offering the course. It has been even more valuable than I had anticipated. Michael Seward, MD, St. Joseph, MI
Posterior lamellar surgery is a great advancement in the treatment of corneal endothelial disease. Dr. Price’s course is the first step in getting prepared to do this type of surgery. I rate this course as extremely good – didactics, wet labs, postop patients with both excellent results and complications seen, as well as live surgery. Jerry Ford, MD, Tallahassee, FL.
A truly remarkable course! Corneal transplantation with real intraoperative control, less postoperative limitations for our patients, more rapid recovery of vision and much more straightforward healing without suture removal and concerns about “refractive and astigmatic surprises”. Conversion to this technique is made easier by the thoroughness of the course. The attention to detail and the knowledge that full thickness transplantation remains an option if the graft does not take. J. Clifford Salinger, MD, Palm Beach Gardens, FL.
I am most appreciative that Dr. Price’s course is designed to maximize the education of the participants. Robert Panton, MD, Elmwood Park, IL
Excellent course, superb teaching by an outstanding and innovative surgeon supported by a wonderful staff. Thomas Henderson, MD, Austin, TX
This was probably the best course I have ever taken. Well organized and highly informative, all aspects of endothelial keratoplasty were thoroughly covered: Didactic instruction with video and handouts; Attentive staff in wet lab; Personal examination of patients in various stages of healing; Unvarnished video review of the surgeon’s own complications; Invaluable live O.R. exposure to observe the nuances of technique. I feel confident that I will be able to perform this procedure and I can’t wait to provide my patients the benefit of this groundbreaking procedure. Thank you Dr. Price for opening up your O.R. and sharing your experiences with me. Paul Turgeon, MD, Canton, OH
Excellent course, information was well organized and presented. Most importantly, the course frankly discussed (no pun intended) the pitfalls of surgery and complications that may be encountered. That is something often lacking in courses that teach our techniques. Steven Dingeldein, MD Burlington, NC
Dr. Price and his staff were wonderful. He is a master surgeon and his course should shorten my learning curve. The multiple cases of live surgery helped reinforce the didactics and wet labs. Michael Woodcock, MD Fayetteville, NC
Well structured and informative. Overall, an excellent experience. Dr. Price certainly has accelerated the learning curve by honestly portraying his experiences with this procedure. The wet lab was certainly the high point of the course. Michael S. Conners, MD St. Louis, MO
Excellent course! Didactic, wet lab and live surgery observation all extremely helpful. Take home materials, lecture material and DVDs of highest quality. Thanks for a great experience. Laura Bealer, MD Decatur, GA.
