It is now several months after my online coaching sessions with Dr. Valachi.
Thanks to her expertise and excellent knowledge base, I now exercise between patients, understand patient positioning better than ever, practice with a BQE ergonomic chair with left arm support, and have added a 75mm Carr extender to my Global Surgical Operating Microscope. I’ve practiced with a Microscope for eleven years, but never knew about the Carr Extender until Dr. Valachi informed me about them.
As a consequence of all these advancements, most of the time, my posture is excellent and in fact, my neck, while treating patients, is in a more upright position than it is as I write this testimonial on my laptop!
Perhaps most important of all, I consulted Dr. Valachi before finalizing major renovations to my office and thanks to her input as to where to place major fixtures in the operatory, I now have one of the most ergonomic dental offices in the nation.
When I treat patients I feel like I’m sitting at a drum set–everything is within easy reach. I designed it–but Dr. Valachi guided that design.
Thank you Bethany!

I have used (brand X) barrel-type loupes for a ‘hundred years’ with nagging neck pain. I switched to the evidence-based, ‘truly ergonomic’ brands you recommended and my neck pain is MUCH better, so I’m thrilled. Thank you!
