Well winter is finally over up here. In April 2002, just past, I had my highest grossing and netting month ever! $72,000 Can. Its only Canadian dollars, but I'll take it. I was averaging ~about $45,000 prior to you. So congratulations to you Steve! Sincerely . . .

Dr. Don Ducasse, Toronto Ontario, Canada

"I have known Steve Gutter for many years and take great pleasure in having him as an active member of the Speaking/Consulting Network, an annual conference started in 1997 to assist independent speakers and consultants in their own businesses. The Network and I recognize Steve for his endless dedication to the betterment of dental hygiene departments worldwide. He is the "grandfather of Soft Tissue Management" and his work is the foundation from which many hygiene programs have been developed over the years. And we all know, the hygiene department is the foundation to a successful dental practice.

Linda Miles, CEO, Linda Miles and Associates, Virginia Beach, VA

"Thanks for assembling one of the most comprehensive training programs that I have seen for G.P.'s who treat perio patients. I tell people to do everything you told us to do because it helps our patients tremendously and helps our offices be more profitable.

William C. Strupp, DDS, Clearwater, FL

"Dr. Gutter presents practical, in-depth courses filled with techniques that work. If your patients have gums, and you want to provide great care for them and make money while you do it, his seminars and consults are for you.

Arthur Kit Weathers, DDS, Griffin, GA

"Well, you did it! When I called you and asked you to create a special hygiene environment in my practice, I never imagined the impact it would have. Your work with us exceeded our expectations with your outstanding educational content, your expertise, commitment and hard work. What you accomplished for our office in the three days you spent with us was more than I could have accomplished in any amount of time by myself. Our 100% enrollment (six out of six) on the implementation day of the consult showed us what we could achieve. Your incredible teaching and verbal skills make us a tremendous success. We have found out how easy it is to enroll patents in needed treatment. You inspired and motivated the whole staff, far exceeding our expectations. I look forward to our continued professional relationship and am pleased to count you as a friend, mentor, and coach.

Bill Greenhaw, DDS, Artesia, NM

"Your seminar provided very useful information which should be of great value to all those who wish to provide state-of-the-art, non-surgical perio therapy.

Sam V. Holroyd, DDS, MS, Florissant, Past Chairman, Perio Dept., Washington Univ Dental School at St. Louis, MO

"We brought our entire staff of twelve since we felt that your information should be evaluated, understood, and uniformly responded to by the entire team. We certainly enjoyed a seminar with impact. What an informative update! Your personal caring for your audience and their progress on the journey of knowledge really sparkles. I sincerely hope that other groups will avail themselves of your services and enjoy the same rewards that we are now appreciating

Al Ousborne, Jr. DDS, Past President, AADPA, Towson, MD

"On behalf of those who attended, it was a day well spent, benefiting our members through continuing education on the subject of 'perio/hygiene.' Feedback from both doctors and staff was excellent, saying it was one of our best seminars ever. I was so pleased that attendance exceeded our expectations--it was a great turnout! I highly recommend you as a speaker. Thanks again."

Frances Kimbrough, Executive Director, Virginia AGD

"If I had known how much your coaching would do for the profitability of my office, I'd have paid $10,000 for it. Our Hygiene Dept. makes more than ever."

Mark Goodman, DDS, New Milford, NJ

"On behalf of the Maryland State Dental Association, your packed presentation 'Perio/Hygiene 2000' was a complete success and a standout among our continuing education courses this year. What we learned can be applied to our private practices immediately, and the range of information kept your talk alive and interesting. Thank you for keeping the material realistic and applicable to a general practice without any 'voodoo magic.' The attendees were definitely energized to 'get with it' as far as periodontics in the private practice is concerned. I would definitely recommend you to any group considering an up-to-date, in-depth CE course."

Adam Schneider, DDS, CE Chairperson, MD State Dental Association

"I knew I needed a strong Perio Program to complete my comprehensive practice. I was referring a lot to the Periodontist. Steve, your seminar provided me with a clinical rationale & the tools to make my Perio/Hygiene Dept. finally work for my patients & for me, both clinically & FINANCIALLY. Your consulting with my office in Y2K has taken us to a whole new level. You've helped us upgrade Hygiene and move to our highest level of productivity and profitability in 27 years of private practice."

Fred Knoll, DDS, FAGD, N. Miami Beach, FL

"Dr. Steven Gutter's material is a must for any restorative dentist. Whether it's Soft Tissue Management or sharing responsibility with the Periodontist on an Implant-supported prosthesis, Dr. Gutter exemplifies above and beyond the standard of care set by the A.D.A. and the American Academy of Periodontology."

Van Stevens, DMD, Periodontist, Mountainside, NJ

"Dr. Steve Gutter is an excellent presenter with clear, concise, well-organized material. He uses an impressive course manual containing reprints from much of the new research on Periodontal Disease, complete how-to-do-it directions on how to assemble & work the program, including the insurance angles. It is especially good on behavior modification. I would suggest any general practice take this seminar."

From: C.E. Update - The Newsletter of Continuing Education for the Dental Profession Larry Pearson, DDS, MAGD - Editor

"My central focus for our continuing education programs was that the information presented be on the theme of private practice dentistry and that this information be such that the participants could go back to their offices and implement it immediately. You certainly exceeded those expectations on both counts. It was a great day!"

Lee Swearingen, DDS, President, Corydon Palmer Dental Society, East Liverpool, OH

"You did a terrific job--WOW! The 1999 American Academy of Dental Practice Administration was graded our best ever--and your excellent presentation played a big part in that. "

Bob Hamric, DDS, Scientific Sessions Chairman, AADPA, Birmingham, AL

"Thank you for coming to our San Diego County Dental Society and giving your well-received, comprehensive Soft Tissue Management training. You had a lot of excellent advice. I wish that all speakers were as organized as you. Thanks again, Steve."

Richard Codington, DDS, CE Director, San Diego County Dental Society

"Thank you ever so much for an excellent presentation at the kick-off dinner for the Triple Win Study Club. You covered a lot of material in a short period of time and, hopefully, created a heightened awareness of the need for proper Soft Tissue Management in the restorative dentist's office. Thanks for a great job.

Andrew M. Alpert, DMD, Periodontist, Director, Triple Win Seattle Study Club, Aventura, FL

"Steve gives the very best seminar I've heard on non-surgical periodontics for general practices, and he shows GP's how to maximize profits in hygiene. He has been a mentor to me,
