“Thank you for your time today here at the University of Maryland
regarding Piezoelectric technology. I greatly enjoyed the insight and feedback as this was the MOST we ever received about it!!!

Marion C. Manski, RDH, MS

“I highly
endorse Colleen's program to all my clients and
those who attend my seminars. Busy periodontists
do not have time to educate their referring general
practices personally. Colleen's presentations explain
why, how and when to refer patients to the specialist.”
Linda Miles, CEO
Linda Miles and Associates
“I learned so much! It was a great boost after being
out of school for fifteen years. Thank you so much
for all your help and non-pressuring teaching skills.
I’m excited to know there is someone like you out
there for us hygienists!” Linda
S. Huck, RDH
Hygieist for Dr. Amanda Lewis
Decatur , IL
“I was looking for a way to increase referrals to
my new practice. Colleen’s in-office presentation
delivers a greatly needed message to your network
of referring practices: how to identify and manage
periodontal disease. This is a win-win for all involved!
It transforms the GP’s hygiene department into a resource
for comprehensive care and increased profitability
as well as increases referrals to the periodontist,
which provides mutual patients with superior dental
care. Colleen’s Referral Enhancement Program has not
only increased my referrals but also provided a unique
way of thanking my loyal referring doctors. The feedback
form the dental community has been excellent!”
Dr. Pouya Hatam
Blue Bell Periodontics
“The three-day in-office consultation was very informational
and helpful. I feel so much more confident when practicing
dental hygiene and talking to patients - especially
when it comes to perio issues! Thanks for taking the
time to answer any and every question we had. I can’t
wait to see how our office changes!”
Becky Collier, RDH
Hygienist for Dr. Amanda Lewis
Decatur, IL
“Enthusiastic, interactive
teaching.” Dr. Kurt
Mackie
Harlingen, Texas
“What
I loved about the three-day in-office consultation
was the enthusiasm I witnessed in the dental team.
They all were willing and ready to incorporate the
medical model of preventive care. We would have
never been able to implement these changes on our
own. Now I am confident that we can! You have totally
changed the scope of the hygiene department!”
Dr. Bonnie DeLaRosa
Harlingen, Texas
“The
best part of the three-day in-office consultation
was the hands-on with live patients! I learned so
much information that I can immediately use on my
patients.”
Rebecca Baker, RDH
Hygienist for Drs. Mackie & DeLeRosa
Harlingen, Texas
“Colleen
is great consultant!! She is very energetic and
has the ability to make anyone get excited about
making changes. She made our entire denatl team
feel more interested in the care of our patients.”

“I
have only been in dentistry for a few months, but
Colleen was readily available to simplify things
for my better understanding. I was thrilled and
impressed with her knowledge and ability to present!”
Mandy Ramirez

Office manager for Drs. Mackie & DeLaRosa
Harlingen., Texas
“There
are many advantages to having the three-day in-office
consultation. The one-on-one with Colleen helped
me to understand how to actually USE all this information
in our practice…something that’s hard to do when
sitting in a lecture hall. I was able to ask questions
and get answers right away. I really enjoyed Colleen’s
presentation style. She really knows her stuff!”
Javier Aguirre, RDH
Office manager for Drs. Mackie & DeLaRosa
Harlingen., Texas
“I
really appreciate the perio protocol and blood pressure
guidelines and other things you sent us since your
consultation visit. We have really improved the
hygiene care to our patients. I will continue to
recommend you to my doctor friends who ask about
improving their hygiene department. You have gone
above and beyond what you said you would do.”

“When
Colleen provided her in-service training for our
entire staff, she did it with great skill and finesse.
As an agent of change, she is superb. Change is
difficult for most, but Colleen’s style of support,
positive reinforcement, and effective role modeling
allows her to bring about those changes in a non-threatening
manner.
Now, thanks to her, we
are providing our patients with the highest level
of preventative and periodontal care with wonderful
results. Unequivocally, our investment in her consulting
services has given us great returns.”
Drs. Andrew and Deborah Junkin
Junkin Dental Associates
Abington, PA
“I
just want to tell you how much we enjoyed meeting
with you. Your enthusiasm and knowledge about the
dental profession is so impressive! I was looking
for a consultant to focus in on specific hygiene
department issues, not on revamping our whole office.
It seemed that every consultant I had interviewed
wanted me to spend $40,000 on a whole office transformation.
You were great. For a fraction
of that investment you dealt with the specific details
I felt we needed work with. It was a very customized
consultation and you "really get it"!
You know what its like to be a hygienist and to
remain excited about what you do .
The month after we spoke
with you we made staffing changes and implemented
many of your strategies and our hygiene production
numbers for Jan 2006 were almost double those of
Jan 2005!
Our production and collection
numbers are fantastic and since we are producing
so much more per patient visit we are less stressed
when an opening shows up in our schedule.
Your meeting with us was
certainly worth every penny.
Thanks for sharing with
us and keep in touch!”
Dr. Robbin Cramer
Blue Bell, PA
“There
are so many consultants with "ideas".
Many of them very good ones. But there are precious
few that know how treatment and patients work in
the real world. Colleen Rutledge is THE ONLY consultant
I have met in my career who can not only consistently
and completely deliver everything she says in a
treatment room with patients, but can train you
and your staff how to also. She is a jewel in our
profession and the rarest most exceptional consultant
we have met. That's coming from some pretty hard
core skeptics with 20 years in private practice.
She has won over my entire skeptical office.”
Dr. Joseph Roberts
Rittenhouse Square
Philadelphia, PA
“Through
Colleen’s efforts and diligence, my personal knowledge
base has been upgraded, as well as services to my
patients. Embracing her energy and zest for her
profession, my hygiene department flourished into
a resource for comprehensive care and increased
profitability.”
Dr. Bruce Zucker
Croydon, PA
“With
Colleen's comprehensive approach, my patients have
become motivated and my hygiene program went from
adequate to exceptional. She not only educated my
patients, but also my staff and me.”
Dr. Paul D. Schwartz
Philadelphia, PA
“I
never thought to pursue continuing education courses
on my own because my dental office always paid for
it. Since your consultation visit a few months ago,
all that has changed. I am so thrilled that you
awakened the sleeping RDH in me and introduced me
to cutting-edge dental hygiene! Thank you!”
Jennifer Hare, RDH
