and am already providing limited fixed orthodontic
treatment. I attended Dr Mahony’s lectures on home
soil and found him to be highly experienced,
competent and motivating. When you are listening to
him, it is like you are holding the future of

communicator, always involving his audiences in a
two way communication process. Above all I found him
to be highly adaptive - he can modify his content

widely read, but still exhibits enormous humbleness
and warmth." |

“I’ve had the opportunity to attend a couple of Dr.
Derek’s presentations. My sincere thanks are due to
him for being so generous with his time and ideas
that have definitely helped give greater depth and
perspective while reviewing my available patient
treatment options. His ‘functional philosophy’ that
aims to recognize and intercept developing
malocclusions very early is the vital KEY to
attaining excellent results. The true professional
that he is, I readily subscribe to his ideology that
in order to deliver consistent quality treatment for
