Dr. Benk has practiced in the Atlanta area since 1980. He earned his dental degree from Emory University School of Dentistry where he went on to serve on the faculty.

“After practicing dentistry for 28 years I continue to enjoy it a lot but have always had this dream to take a sabbatical from the office for about 12 months and do the things that I always wanted to do and be able to return to my practice better than it was when I left it.
“When I told my two associate dentists about this dream, they said have a great time, just make sure there are enough new patients.
“So I teamed up with one of the best marketing consultants teams I could find, Keith and Deborah Gilleard. They told me that they were different than any others around and I found out they were. They employ a scientific approach to marketing and know how to get results.
“Well, I have been on sabbatical for the last 3 1/2 months in another state and my dental practice has more than enough fee-for-service new patients with only 2/3rds of the marketing strategy employed. Key to this has been Internet marketing. Through Internet marketing, Gilleard Dental Marketing have implemented a way to generate new patients into my practice in a most cost effective way.
“The practice has a constant flow of new patients and all I do is admire how well it is all going. From Internet marketing alone, I have been getting about 20 new patients per month at a low cost per patient.
“One of the biggest mistakes I didn't make was agree that I couldn't live the dream. I love practicing dentistry, always have and will continue when I return in a few more months.

Alan Twietmayer, Office Manager, Jack Sushko, DDS
“When I first came to work at this office in 1999 I knew one of the first things we needed to do was get a web presence.
“Our first website was created through a dental education company and in the first year we only had seven new patients from this.
“Then I was contacted in 2010 by Keith Gilleard of Gilleard Dental Marketing.
“It took us a bit to finally make the commitment but when we finally got rolling things went fast.
“The website was put together working with the web design team and the result is a very professional site.
“We then got the web marketing campaign going and saw immediate results.
“As many offices can attest referrals from regular newspaper and magazine ads have greatly diminished and even patient referrals are not at all what they used to be. I hear this all the time through other offices and articles I read.
“As of now 50% of our new patients are coming from our internet presence with many patient referrals coming from these same internet patients. Our new patients are well over what we had last year when we started with Gilleard.
“It is easy to say that this is now our major source for new patients.
“I constantly hear from these internet patients that once they got to our webpage they decided to call us.
“I am convinced that this is the best way to get new patients for our office.”

Jiten Master, DDS, MS
"I had resisted getting a website for my dental practice a long time because I had had the impression that it would do nothing other than give often inaccurate information, not be able to communicate the correct message that I want to send and perhaps deter a patient from coming who might otherwise come by some other means. I was also afraid of wasting money on something that looked nice to me but was totally ineffective at getting patients to come to the office.
Boy was that a mistake!!
The website created by Gilleard Dental Marketing is spectacular. The site is very professionally laid out, it is informative without being overwhelming and easy to navigate. Patients rave about the site.
It has paid for itself within a short time in terms of production that we would not have gotten had it not been there! Patients are very receptive to what I have to say and seem to already know what they're going to get! Its like having a 'friend' tell them where they should go. I should have had a website like this many years ago!"

Dr. Suzanne Sablan, DDS
"Before working with Gilleard Marketing, we went 2-3 days without a New Patient call.. Now, new patient calls and emails are non-stop. We had to hire a new person just to answer the new patient calls and emails. The number of new patients went from 10-13 per month to 20-23 per month. I am 100% satisfied!!!!"

Roddie Crouch, DDS
“I have a 30-year-old established dental practice in Marietta, Georgia. About one and a half years ago my new patients began dropping off. I pursued methods of reviving and increasing my new patient flow into my practice. I had been doing coupon mailings for years with success but this ceased to work. I paid for an expensive PR/Marketing program with a marketing firm to increase my new patients. I implemented their program, did all the recommended steps, tried this for a year and unfortunately did not get one single new patient from the program after spending a lot of money, time and effort.
“I came across Gilleard Dental Marketing earlier this year, they made a lot of sense and their clients were very pleased. I now am one of their very pleased clients. After doing extensive research on my practice they made a new website for our office. Then they tested it to make sure it was working optimally to generate new patients as promised. Our new patient flow now has doubled after 2 months. The new patients phone calls have also double all in the face of a recessionary economy.
“I found Gilleard Dental Marketing to be very caring and concerned that their clients get the result that was promised: abundant new patients with very effective new patient programs. And they work with you until you actually get this product!
“I would highly recommend Gilleard Dental Marketing to any dentist who would like to increase their new patients.

David P. Cutts, DDS - Lifestyle Family Dentistry
Dr. Cutts has a very successful dental practice in Temecula, California. Since working with Gilleard Market Research his production income nearly doubled..
I have a well over a million-and-a-half-dollar-a-year dental practice and market heavily in my local area. I have worked with many different marketing companies over the years and attended many seminars and classes on marketing. This is an area I personally enjoy and manage in my practice.
For years I have looked for a company that would measure up to my high expectations. I wanted world class promotional items based on rock-solid research and survey results. I tried several different companies and groups but came away disappointed with each. However, from the time I sat down with Gilleard Dental Marketing, I felt that I had found a group that knew what it took to get the results I wanted.
After my first marketing campaign was completed I saw results that other doctors just dream of.
Gilleard Dental Marketing staff just know their stuff and their work helped me position my marketing far above my competitors.
I recommend without any reservation whatsoever Practice Marketing for anyone looking for topnotch quality, results, and personal service.

“The Gilleard Difference - Gilleard Dental Marketing New Patient Marketing Campaign
“What is the value of a GOOD new patient? $500? $5000? More? Different sources will put different values on new patients, but one sure thing is 40% of practice production over the course of a year can and should come from new patients! Attracting a good stream of new patients even for those in ideal locations can be a challenge.
“The most successful way of attracting new patients I have found has been with the help of Gilleard Dental Marketing. Gilleard put together a customized web site and marketing program BASED ON MY PRACTICE. From the DAY we went on line with our new web site, and online advertising, we began attracting quality new patients looking for the type of dentistry I like to deliver. Implants, crowns, veneers, cosmetic dentistry and Invisalign are some of the procedures our new patients HAVE COME IN REQUESTING! When new patients come in they are looking for treatment.
“We are reaching our target audience and then some, with effective search engine optimization. Just the other day a dental office in Texas, (we are in Ohio) typed in Velscope and called our office to find out about the technology. Our office came up before the manufacturer!
“I have paid money for advertising in the past with varying degrees of success. One time I paid $18, 000 for a joint TV campaign with other area dentists and got no response, zero new patients! Gilleard's campaign has generated more new patients for my office than any other I have tried. Best of all now that it is set up new patients just keep coming.
“With Gilleard I have received prompt attention, a successful campaign, and LOTS of new patients. What more could I ask for?
“Bill Davidson, DDS”
Dr. Jacob Wehman, DMD
Dr. Wehman practices in Columbia North Carolina. Until we launched his Internet marketing he primary relied on PPO patients.
“I have been working with Gilleard Marketing for just over a year now. I am constantly delighted at the number of new patients that this website generates. I know this because I gather our new patient data and send it to them monthly. We are getting 10-15 new patients a month for various procedures.
“One of the campaigns that seems to be working really well is our cosmetic campaign. We have patients that go to the website and come in wanting to do cosmetic work. Some of them even have their financing in order and are ready to go once we show them our techniques.
“I am constantly amazed at the good quality patients that their website has produced. I am not only going to continue using them for the website, but I am getting ready to start a mailing campaign. If they say it works, then I am going to do it because they have not steered me wrong yet. I am delighted at the results Gilleard Marketing has produced for me and will continue to use them as long as I am practicing.
“Jacob Wehman, DMD”
Dr. Randolph Moore, DMD
Dr. Moore practices in Buford, Georgia.
“To whom it may concern,
“I had a website prior to meeting Keith Gilleard. I felt proud of the site, however it was only for show, not for producing new patients. Keith and his team reinvented my website. In 2009 the website was our number one referral source!
“I can assure you that Gilleard Marketing will generate new patients for your office at a great return on investment.
“They have been a pleasure to work with and I would recommend them to you for advertising needs.
“Randolph Moore, DMD”
