Below are some of the hundreds of letters of thanks that have been received over the years from our students. Our thanks also goes out to all of our students, without whom the great pleasure of teaching could not have been known.
2011 Students
Dear Dr. Duggan and Meghan,
I am pleased to tell you that I was accepted in UCLA
and UCSF and I chose to go to UCSF. I thank you very much for the motivation
and support. The class that I took at your institute played a very big role in
not only helping me to succeed in the bench exams but also get a couple of
wonderful friends. My 2 weeks in Duggan's Dental Studies will be cherished all
my life.
Honestly,
Cherishma
Hello Meghan,
I am happy to let you and Dr. Duggan know that I am
successfully accepted in the University at Buffalo for IDP.
Thanks your support although it cost a lot to me (I'm
kidding) . For sure ''Alls well that ends well''. Happy Holidays.

Respected Dr. Duggan,
How are you doctor? Hope you are doing good. Thank you very much for teaching me. I joined the 1 year program in Endodontics at NYUCD and your teaching has really helped me a lot. We have started getting patients for root canal treatment. The course has both lectures and clinics and we have started using rotary instruments and vertical technique for root canal obturation.Thank you so much for helping me learn endodontics doctor.
Thank you once again and Wish You a Very Happy Thanks Giving.
Regards,
Sangeetha

“Thanks for everything Dr. Duggan and you. Honstly without you I was not able to do it. For me it was great. During the nine days course, it was very stressful because I join you right before my exame at Loma Linda, it was ten days before my bench exame, so, I and Dr Duggan of course worked really hard to the end but when I came back to get prepared for Buffalo university I felt more improvement,so, I would recommend the students to take the course at least one month before the exame. Also, I really appreciate the opportunity Meghan and Zak arranged for me and others too to come and practice after the course. You have been really helpful. It was amazing time I learned alot to the point I said even if I didn't get any acceptance I will not regret I take the course but thank God my dream came true.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH”, IM

“I am very happy to tell you that I passed the WREB. Thank you very much for all the support. I very much enjoyed being your student. The time, money, and effort I spent at Duggan dental studies were indeed fruitful, and the knowledge I gained at my stay in the Duggan WREB course will remain useful in my future career. As much as I am passionate and excited to begin my career in Orthodontics, I am very pleased to have come back and reunite with basic general Dentistry.
I am also thankful for Meghan‘s help in ordering materials even at short notices. I will be contacting Meghan to arrange for returning the instruments that I rented from DDS. Please pass my regards to zak and let him know that the online tool and courses were all functioning properly and very instrumental in my ability to critically select cases.
As far as my experience in the exam, everything went smooth. I did class II amalgam for S.D. I also had S.D. as my perio patient. The class II lesion was perfectly ideal and I didn’t need to request for any extensions. I also did a class III composite for B.O. The clinical exam was very enjoyable and not stressful at all. The Endodontics, however, was tight time wise. You should see the look on all the UOP students’ faces when they were passing by my station and checking out the endo master cones wheel. It was hilarious!
Once again, please accept my deep appreciation for the quality of education and cervices provided, and for the kind of mentor you are.", AA

“I wanted to thank you for your help and support in March 2010 when I was enrolled in your IDP course. You have been a true inspiration for me. Your kindness and personality has made a great impact on me and I hope to follow in your footsteps as an American dentist in the near future.
I just found this after that I was accepted to the University of Colorado at Denver's International Student Program and will be starting in January. I couldn't have done it without your help and guidance. I am sure that your advice and encouragement made a huge difference in my interview and set me apart from other applicants. I cannot thank you enough!”, AA

Surely your unquestioned integrity in the community, your respectable character in the academe and your core competence in the fleid of dentistry had assured us your students that there is profound meaning in our education. I admired the zeal of your profession, having spent three months under your tutelage and only then I can hope to make a bright start in this new course.

“Thanks is a very small word for all the intense coaching which you provided us for the last three months. There were times when I used to be so much depressed and I used to think that maybe I am not ready yet to take this test, but your constant support and guidance brought me a wonderful result. Dr. Duggan, in my mock board critiques you always used to write that ‘you can do this’ and I am so glad that I proved you right and ‘I did it’. Taking the DSI classes was the wisest decision I ever made and I would always recommend my friends to seek your intense help”, IJ

“I cannot thank you enough for all the teaching you have provided me. I thank God for having the opportunity to renew my license as a dentist. I want you to know that you have helped so many people in accomplishing their dreams – including me! And we are very appreciative and thankful. I am very happy to have gone through all my classes with you. Without them I wouldn’t have been able to complete this license. I remember two years ago when I quit my job as a social worker with undertainty if I was going to be able to complete my license before the due time. Dr. Duggan, it has been the best investment I have ever done!! Thank you for helping all DSI students. I don’t know if you realize the wonderful opportunities you have given and helped us achieve! I will always remember your classes and know how good of a man you are”, MV

Thank you again and again”, SH
