Testimonials

“I have been wanting to thank you for the tremendous job you did for my office. When we first started our business relationship by writing goals, my list was rather extensive. Somehow you were able to work magic. My staff accepted you with open arms and you empowered them to make the changes that would generate enthusiasm, production, pride, and fulfillment. Patients noticed the improvements and felt better cared for. At a time when many offices nationally were seeing drops in production of 10-15% or more, we were setting new records in production for our office, especially the hygiene department. Thank you for renewing our faith in ourselves, focusing our efforts on the proper goals, making work more fun, and improving the care for our patients. I consider myself a very satisfied client and friend. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Ronald L. Proctor, DDS”

“What fantastic results! The percentage of patients in active periodontal therapy before was 19%; after coaching it rose to 45%. Now, over 99% of our patients are pre-appointed for their next therapy, our hourly production rose from $118.00 to $167.00 per hour, and the hygiene department is enjoying significant monthly increases in production. None of this would have been possible without cohesion on our team. Your coaching style and distinctive ability to bring the very best in staff to the surface is unmatched. It is with heartfelt appreciation that I write this letter and want to express our gratitude for your continued support of our team and our patients. We could not be happier with the results of your coaching. Thank you!

Sincerely,

James H. Hajovsky, DDS”

Testimonial

“I have owned a very successful dental consulting business in the Houston area for over 20 years. I have had the pleasure of working with Kathryn Gilliam for most of those 20 years as both a member of two dental teams for which I was the dental practice management consultant and as part of my team when she was a hygiene mastery coach to many of my clients.

“Throughout our long relationship, Kathryn has consistently demonstrated outstanding clinical performance, being the lead dental hygienist and top producer in her offices, as well as superior in-office training, coaching skills and presentation ability.

“Her areas of clinical expertise are advanced periodontal protocols, with a focus on the oral – systemic connection, the early detection of oral cancer and care for patients undergoing cancer treatment.

“I highly recommend Kathryn Gilliam as your hygiene coach, trainer and speaker for motivating your hygiene team to clinical and financial excellence. She is passionate about creating positive results for the doctor/owner and the entire team.”
