"I have known and worked with Jennifer Hertzoff since 2014. I have observed and have been involved with her as she taught veterinary dentistry and radiography to many veterinary practice team members. I have found her to be highly knowledgeable and she is especially skilled in teaching. Jennifer recently taught veterinary dental radiography to our new team members at our new specialty veterinary dental and oral surgical practice. The results were extremely positive! My team members were able to perform wonderfully after just one teaching session.
I give Jennifer the highest recommendation with respect to her teaching skills."

Jennifer is an accomplished veterinary technician and has learned and practiced her dentistry skills under the guidance of each of our veterinary dentists.

She takes part in educating our doctors when they begin their clinical residency training, helping them learn the basics of oral examination and dental radiography. Jennifer has also become a confident educator outside of our clinic and has helped staff at many veterinary clinics improve their dental skills. As a board-certified veterinary dentist, I can attest to the fact that Jennifer Hertzoff, CVT is a subject matter expert."

"It is my pleasure to recommend Jennifer Hertzoff, CVT as a clinical instructor for veterinary dentistry. I first met Jennifer in 2017 at the start of my dental residency at Arizona Veterinary Dental Specialists. Jennifer was an immediate wealth of knowledge and assisted in training me at the time on how to obtain perfect dental radiographs. There are still several times while obtaining images or assisting my technicians with dental radiographs that I catch myself throughout the day, verbalizing the exact information she provided me.
She is not only incredibly proficient in dentistry but strives to teach and educate other doctors, veterinary technicians/assistants, and customer service representatives. Having an educated staff only assists in better educating our clients and ensures the best care can be provided to our four-legged family. Since completing residency and now a Board Certificated Veterinary DentistTM, I have utilized her expertise to train my support staff. She has traveled to my facility in Minnesota to do an in person training as well as trained my team virtually. She has provided several courses from step-by-step instruction in obtaining radiographs, normal and abnormal pathology in radiographic interpretation, learning proper ways of cleaning teeth, how to sharpen and maintain dental instruments and more.
Jennifer has exceptional teaching and communication skills; as well as striving tirelessly to ensure the people she instructs walk away with knowledge that will assist them clinically. She always has a positive attitude and willingness to continue to learn in a field where she is an expert. Jennifer would be a valuable resource for training and learning through her educational offerings."
