I had the privilege of meeting Gerilyn when she was teaching a Six Month Smiles course in Boston. I had recommended this course to five of my dentist clients, and I actually sat in for the two days. I was so impressed with Gerilyn’s ability not only to simplify and teach a difficult clinical subject, but to make the presentation so entertaining. She was funny and witty and easily kept her audience engaged. The course material was very well organized and superbly illustrated with the proper combination of photos and videos. I had five clients attend her course and they reported that Gerilyn’s online clinical support and advice was extraordinary. I give her the highest grades for knowledge of her topic, clinical acumen, and her ability to relate to her audience.

Dr. Alfe is a world-class educator that engages an audience with her meticulous clinical and communication skills. As a Clinical Instructor that has educated thousands of dentists on cosmetic dentistry, Dr. Alfe motivates other dentists to aspire to be better clinically and offer their patients the best treatment available. As a speaker, I have seen Dr. Alfe prepare, develop and deliver over 16 continuous hours of content while the audience is on the edge of their seat the entire time. Dr. Alfe’s knowledge, experience, and ability to deliver relevant content makes her a crowd pleaser each and every time.

I’ve recently begun working with Gerilyn, and over the past few months have found her to be much more than a coach: cheerleader, guru, expert, friend, SAVIOUR! I am someone who has been striving for constant and never-ending improvement for decades and was surprised by the potential for growth and development Gerilyn helped me to uncover. Her insight and support have been a lighthouse during tumultuous times. Gerilyn’s breadth of knowledge on dentistry, business and interpersonal dynamics is simply top notch. I couldn’t be happier with our work together and look forward to what the future (with her help!) has in store!

I have known Gerilyn for quite some time now and have worked with her on a number of dental projects and expect to do many more in the future! Gerilyn really stands out in our profession in a number of ways. As a clinician and practice owner, she paid close attention to EVERY DETAIL of her office like few others do — from the amenities she offered for patient convenience and comfort, to the decor of the office, to the materials, supplies, technologies, and equipment she used and offered and of course, to the actual clinical treatment she rendered. Outside of the practice, she is recognized as a leading speaker, educator, and seminar leader, working with some of the industry’s top companies representing innovative products and technologies. Gerilyn’s credibility as a clinician combined with her no-nonsense, straightforward approach to presenting information to attendees of her programs is a breath of fresh air and something that is greatly needed in our industry! In summary, Gerilyn’s knowledge and passion about anything that is associated with progressive dentistry is unmatched. If you are a colleague, attend one of her programs! If you are a dental company, consider bringing Gerilyn in as a speaker and/or KOL!

I have known Dr. Alfe for many years through the dental world. She is a very inspiring dentist. She has worked so hard committing to many hours of continuing education. She is a perfectionist at her art. It is no surprise that she herself is also contributing to the dental profession by teaching and sharing her knowledge with other dentists. Dr. Alfe is an inspiration to all dentist. I always look forward to spending time with Dr. Alfe and learning what is new in dentistry.

Personality, Integrity, intelligence, wit, depth of knowledge and charm..I could go on and on … just a few key elements that make Gerilyn Alfe, DMD, MBA the ideal coach and thought leader. Looking forward to working with you in the future.

As a practicing periodontist for almost 40 years, I’ve had the opportunity to observe a wide number of dental practices in the Chicago area and beyond. During the course of 15 years, I watched Dr. Alfe go from a small start up to one of the best run and most profitable practices in the area. With a combination of exquisite dentistry and exceptional patient management, she developed a following of patients that truly loved her and to this day still ask about her.
In addition to her role as a master clinician and practice manager, she showed her passion as both an educator and a coach. It is exciting to follow Dr. Alfe in the next phase of her career as a full time coach. As one of the few consultants who has actually DONE it successfully in the trenches, she is uniquely qualified to help anyone navigate through any stage of their career. What a great mentor to have at your side in times of change!

Gerilyn is known for her lively lectures and engaging personality. I had followed her lecture schedule and her activity via social media channels so it was a real pleasure to meet her in person. I can understand why she is sought after as a KOL and a speaker. She immediately puts you at ease and has a wonderful sense of humor! In talking with her and viewing her clinical cases it became evident that she is extremely talented in the clinical arena. It’s always refreshing to find a clinical lecturer that is willing to share their skills for purely educational purposes. Gerilyn’s industry and clinical knowledge are an asset to any business partner that consults with her.

I was proud to call Gerilyn my classmate at the Jack Welch Management Institute, pursuing our Executive MBA the Jack Welch Way. The care she had taken to enrich her fellow classmates, made me few very privileged to be in her class. Her contributions were selfless, direct, high impact and absolutely high value add to the recipients. For someone as accomplished and talented as a dentist, entrepreneur, trainer and coach, she’s extremely humble as she put on the learner’s hat while in class. It’s not surprising to see the many lives she had touched and will hopefully be influenced by her to pay it forward. Gerilyn, thank you for being a fellow life long learner and friend. You inspired me. I will pay it forward as I develop my own business to enrich others to be their best.
