An engaging international lecturer, Dr. Feck has been a featured speaker throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe. His well-known teaching and lecturing style blends humor with contagious passion. His previous speaking engagements have included the following:

• Local and state dental associations
• American Dental Association
• Academy of General Dentistry
• MasterPlan Alliance retreats (featured speaker)

Dr. Anthony S. Feck has many roles: established clinician, author, educator, and speaker. His varied career has given him the opportunity to explore a number of passions, including sedation dentistry, dental technology, pharmacology, and practice building.

As a student at the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry, Dr. Feck won numerous awards for scholastic excellence before graduating with high distinction in 1983. He was then appointed Associate Professor of Periodontics and Restorative Dentistry at his alma mater and has been in private practice in Lexington, Kentucky since completing his education.

As a clinician, Dr. Feck is particularly passionate about helping high-fear dental patients receive care comfortably and safely. This passion led him to co-found the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation (DOCS), where he is the dean of faculty and clinical director for IV sedation. Through that organization, he has personally trained over 10,000 dentists from all over North America in the art and science of sedation dentistry.

As the Dean of Faculty, Dr. Feck has played a major role in DOCS Education's growth as a leading provider of dental continuing education. Dr. Feck has also served as a consultant in the development of many new dental innovations.

Dr. Feck founded Sunrise Dental Solutions (SDS) in 2007, business solutions and consulting firm that helps manage dental practices across North America.

He has also developed several models to assist dentists in their professional growth including "The Ultimate Team" series, "Own Your Market," and "Solution Yes."

Furthermore, he helped develop the "Leadership Challenge," a series of courses designed to teach leadership principles to dentists.

Dr. Feck also has an extensive background in dental implantology. He has taught over 60 courses on this subject at his teaching center. He has also been involved in the development of new dental implant designs, which has culminated in a newly designed implant being named after him, a prestigious honor recognizing his contributions to both the education and advancement of dental implantology.

His nationally recognized status as a cosmetic dentist resulted in his appointment to the faculty and advisory board of the American Academy of Facial Esthetics. He has taught and continues to practice the use of Botox to both treat facial abnormalities as well as enhance the overall facial appearance and supplement cosmetic dentistry.

Dr. Feck and his wife, Becky, enjoy visiting family in Texas, especially to see his granddaughter, Logan. Harley, Dr. Feck’s Pug, always accompanies them on their trips. His personal hobbies include reading, writing, boating, playing golf, and following UK sports.

In addition to four decades of experience as a general dentist, Dr. Michael D. Silverman is a globally recognized lecturer, education, and patients’ rights advocate. His extensive dental background and entrepreneurial spirit led to the development of DOCS Education and RAMP – Results-Driven Advertising & Marketing Professionals. As the President of DOCS and RAMP, Dr. Silverman has taught over 30,000 dental professionals how to implement sedation and how to acquire new patients.

In November 2015, Dr. Silverman was inducted as a Fellow of the International College of Dentistry, and in 2020 as a Fellow of the American College of Dentistry in recognition of his exemplary professional accomplishments and devotion to improving the practice of dentistry.

Through years of working with clients, Linda became acutely aware of the need to help dentists obtain a “Fair Market Value” valuation for their practice, whether they want to purchase or sell a practice, add an associate or partner, or experience a change in marital status. After several courses in practice valuation, she settled on a process that evaluated all aspects of the practice, not just a basic formula. With her background in managing practices and evaluating their financials, she could add another level of expertise to the valuation of dental practices. She chose not to be a broker in order to offer a non-biased valuation.

Her career in dentistry began in 1968 with experience in BOTH the clinical and business aspects of the industry. Working as a Registered Dental Assistant and moving into office management inspired the opening of Practice Management Company in 1983.

In 1990, she co-founded Advanced Hygiene Concepts, the recognized leader in teaching and implementing advanced skills that produce beautiful, healthy tissue—the foundation for exquisite restorative dentistry. The results: A significant increase in profitability; a cohesive team approach to hygiene; and consistently superior clinical results.

In 2004, she co-founded Sunrise Dental Solutions, a company dedicated to providing dental practices with training in methods to improve the overall profitability and growth of the practice, while reducing stress. She has helped hundreds of Dentists across the United States and Canada improve the profitability and organization of their practices. She retired in 2018 from SDS.

At the time of her death, Linda O’Grady was a member of the Crown Council, was a co-developer of the hygiene protocol for DOCS, formerly on the faculty of PAC~Live, co-developed the laser protocol in hygiene in 1993, and was a writer and lecturer.

Dr. Mattox’s interests and expertise in dentistry focus on patient education, oral surgery, implants, and long-term restoration of dental function. Dr. Mattox pursued her doctorate at the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry, where she graduated with honors and received awards for outstanding achievement in prosthodontics and oral radiology.

Dr. Mattox remains active in the College of Dentistry, serving as an Associate Instructor of prosthodontics and as a member of the Admissions Committee.

She is a master at rebuilding patient self-confidence by replenishing their smile and improving their oral health.

Dr. Mattox is an owner of Dental Wellness of Lexington and is instrumental in the success of DOCS Education’s IV sedation dentistry program. She finds, prescreens, and oversees all patient procedures for our IV students to work on during their clinical sessions.

Dr. Mattox was raised on a farm in a small town in the northern part of Kentucky. As a child, she was relentlessly teased because of her “buck teeth”; to make matters worse, her parents allowed her unfettered access to soda and candy, which led to the need for several extensive dental procedures. Thankfully, she was able to visit the same family dentist for many years, a man who consistently showed an interest in her as a person and a good student; he even encouraged her to become a dentist from the time she was 10 years old, and all the way up to her college years!

Meanwhile, Carol’s self-confidence grew as her teeth were gradually corrected, and she even enjoyed guessing what type of wire would be used next at each orthodontic appointment. These experiences fostered a lifelong passion for the field of oral healthcare and a desire to make other patients as happy as her dentist had made her through dentistry.

Dr. Mattox and her husband, Nathan, have two daughters, Abigail and Ansley. Outside of oral healthcare, one of Carol’s biggest passions is training for marathons and half marathons. She enjoys participating in a variety of exercises, from running with friends to attending spin classes to weightlifting. Other interests include crafting, baking, and watching her daughters compete in sports such as archery, academic team meets, golf, and basketball.

Coni Fadigan is so deeply embedded in the history of DOCS Education that it's accurate to say that she was working on behalf of the organization before it even existed.

Fadigan, currently DOCS Education's Chief of Staff, has been a central figure in its founding, growth, and ongoing development. She’s also been an essential resource not only for founder and president Dr. Michael D. Silverman, but also for the more than 24,000 dentists and dental professionals who have embraced sedation dentistry on behalf of their patients over the past 20 years.

A former dental hygienist who pretty much ended up in her current role by happenstance, Fadigan acknowledges that her career has taken her places that she could never have dreamed.
