    Truly, if I could give my account manager Michael G. (the best one though I'm biased) six stars, I…read moreabsolutely would! He went above and beyond, taking time after work on a Friday to walk me through the entire Spear platform. That alone says so much about his dedication. He's incredibly detail-oriented, professional, and welcoming, but also just naturally funny, which made the whole experience even better. I'm a dentist, and I've worked with a lot of different reps, but Michael stands out. He feels like the leader of all the managers! He truly understands the value of everything Spear has to offer and explains it so well that I feel like he could sell any course to anyone. Spear is lucky to have him, and he deserves the biggest applause!

    I was first introduced to Spear probably a decade ago when I was an associate dentist. I was so…read moreimpressed by Frank Spear at the first seminar I attended. Shortly after that first visit, I purchased my own practice and wanted to learn everything I could at spear. I took seminars, workshops, several a year and joined a Spear study club. The large investment felt worth it because I was getting a great education and taking things back to implement in practice making me a better dentist and leader. Fast forward to 2021, I sold my first practice and moved to a new state. Not the best time to be taking a workshop, I reached out to Spear to let them know I needed to postpone a workshop I had scheduled and they responded it would be no problem, I could reschedule for no penalty. I then purchased a new practice and joined spear practice solutions in addition to maintaining my study club status. I upgraded to a mentor plus program and spent the most I think you can spend per month on their memberships for a year. At the end of the year my practice transitioned to a patient management software not supported by Spear practice solutions. So i cancelled that membership, but kept everything else. This was in the beginning of April 2023. I had asked if there was any concern about me attending their summit presentation in April, i got told no, no issues. Then about a week before the Summit, I receive an email that I cannot attend the Summit since I'm no longer a SPS member. I was angry b/c I'd already changed my work hours for that week and had a flight and hotel arranged. After several emails and being told I was going to receive a huge favor, they "allowed" me to attend. This really rubbed me the wrong way, but I stayed with them. Then a few months later in booking a workshop, I was told my time to rebook had expired. I had no clue this even could happen. A course I'd paid for in the past ($5500) I could no longer take, I was told because over a year had gone by since I paid for said course. Totally fair policy, except I was never made aware of it. Eventually, after several phone calls and a google review, I was told I could use the voucher for another course. I scheduled for Feb 2024. Less than two weeks prior to the course, I receive an email that the course is cancelled. Frustrated, I call and ask what is going on and am told I have no other options really, except reschedule for May 2024. So i did. This is 3 days of work missed b/c I was intending to be in Scottsddale. May rolls around, I send an email to Braxten (my advisor) a couple weeks before my course to check in. He doesn't respond. Another email. No response. So I call Spear and get told the course has been cancelled. Why wasn't I informed before this? They don't know but they think my name got left off the list, just a mistake. Ok, but I'm furious because this is the second time for this course and now it's less than 2 weeks away and I'm here with 3 open days in my schedule and another flight and hotel I need to change. I let them know I had no desire to book again and just want a refund. Now I'm being given the run around, emails ignored, etc. I was told I'd receive a refund, but it didn't show up by the time I was told it would. The amount offered in the refund is about half of what I paid. At this point, no amount of money refunded is enough, and I'm sure Spear knows that. But they continue to layer insults on top of the already frustrating things they've done by offering a partial refund. I hope by sharing this, other dentists really look into options other than spear for their education. The company has plummeted in customer service and prices obviously have continued to be extremely high. They merged with CDOCs a year or two ago. Both companies were pretty good until they merged, now both treat their clients horribly. At least in my experience.

    My daughter started this location since last summer. She has been excel in math ever since. She was…read morefrustrated with math in first grade. As a second grader, she is more confident and accurate with math. She goes 5 days a week one hour each day and never complained about going to Mathnesium. She actually enjoys going there which makes everything 100x better as for parents. I have two more kiddos at the age of 5 and 4. When they are old enough, I am definitely enrolling them to Mathnesium. Hopefully you guys have some sort of family discount because it gets pricey, but well worth the money. You will have our business until all my 3 kiddos finish high school.

    When the state changed over to Common Core, my daughter was going into 4th grade. The new…read morestandards were applied differently for grades. Ideas that were previously taught in 4th grade, were now going to be taught in 3rd grade. At the time I didn't realize the change and the teachers she had didn't inform me that there would be gaps due to this change. My daughter, who previously had loved math and got A's, went down to C's that year and then started dragging the next years. I thought it was due to her not wanting to do homework. I had no idea that she was working blind because Common Core changed not just when subjects were taught but also how they were taught. Her grades continued to plummet and we were all frustrated as she was barely making D's. It wasn't until mid year in 7th grade talking with her teacher I found out how bad the gaps were. That day, I made my appointment with Mathnasium. Rachel was fantastic and worked with me and a payment schedule to include assessments. We decided on a 6 month contract and reevaluate my daughter's progress at the end. What I liked: -My daughter liked going. She was enjoying it and the incentives really had her working towards goals. -Rachel was terrific! She was very easy to communicate with and open to discussing any issues that came up. -The schedule was incredibly flexible. I never had a problem getting the time I was looking for -Half the session could be spent on tutoring her homework. My daughter wasn't exclusively tied to the "plan" her assessment gave. This allowed her to learn as she was filling in gaps. What could be improved: -The online scheduling is clunky and awkward. There must be a better system. What I loved: -My daughter saw almost immediate improvement in not just her grades but also her attitude toward math. One month into the program and her grades when from nearly failing to high B's/low A's. 2 months and she was achieving A's. At the end of 6 months, she is now succeeding in math again and no longer dreads it. She is all A's in Math so far this year and it is the first homework she gets done now. I am not going to lie, this is expensive. For us, however, we decided the investment was worth it to get our daughter back on a successful path. If in the future, issues raise their head, we will be back.
