Dr. Rapisarda
Gracias. I’ve attended this course 3x already and this is by far the best and most informative of any. You guys need to give this guy a raise.

I had an incredible day with Dr Ataii last week. The professional education team is doing an amazing job! I feel that the programs are really getting fine-tuned and delivering clear, direct content that can be applied in the office the next day. My offices are loving it!

We attended your seminar on in Atlanta Georgia. It was one of the best courses I have attended recently! I thought Dr Ataii (not sure if I have the spelling correct) presented the information in a very informative manner, but was also easy to listen to and fun. He was very knowledgeable about the product, and sparked an interest in the product that I will carry with me to work today!! I am glad I took the course and look forward to learning more about the product. A big “Thank You” to Dr. Ataii for a great presentation about Invisalign!

Hey Dr. Ataii,
Thanks for coming to the Boston area last week. I have been in this industry for almost 7 years and you are one of the best presenters I have seen in that time! You are a tremendous asset to all the TM’s and Align and I appreciate the time you’ve spent in my territory. I look forward to seeing you again,
Dr. Bruce Stephenson
Dr. Ataii was terrific! He is the best speaker I have heard in all the courses I have been to, including the last Invisalign Summit! (I sure hope he is speaking at the next Dental Summit in July!) Teri and Linda were equally impressed and motivated! Thank you so much for seeing to it that we attended! That meeting was the perfect mix of clinical, motivational, sound practice management and marketing. It was nice to hear from someone who understands that a dental practice needs to be run as a business in order to provide the best patient care. It was also nice to hear from a GP who is really doing a lot of Invisalign and not shy about presenting his experiences and what really works. Extremely useful information! The Friday morning venue works very well for us and would have been even better if it was longer. Four hours, or a full day, would definitely not bee too long to listen to Dr. Ataii’s. I was sorry when it was over. You need to get him back a lot more often. And be sure to let me know when you do! Next time I will bring the whole staff, including those pesky hygienists! (They really need to hear what he has to say!) Thanks, again, for a really good seminar!

Dr. Ataii,
I was at an office today and the GP absolutely loved your study club and said it was one of the best he has EVER attended! He wanted me to reach out to you to see what your speaking schedule is and then he is also sending an email to my manager requesting you come back to Portland in 2014.

Dr. Ataii,
Hope all is well. I know this email might be a few days overdue, yet it does not minimize the tremendous presentation you had in Denver last Friday. It was certainly one of the best GP interactions I have seen with Align, and I was thoroughly impressed with the way you connected with the audience. I wish we had more people attend, but we will take what we had, and hopefully be able to focus in on them to accelerate learnings and implementation. You had a very good way of balancing the seriousness with humor, creating an atmosphere that I do not think they see every day, and I believe the learnings were much better this way. Thanks for bringing your enthusiasm to Denver, and I am sure we will get a very positive response when we see these doctors and staff again. I hope to see you in action again soon.

Dr Ataii,
On behalf of the Capital Region team, we would like to thank you for your awesome presentation on Thursday night! Despite all the road blocks that you faced throughout your travels and the issues with the hotel, you absolutely rocked the house!
As I mentioned to you this morning, the doctors really seemed to enjoy the meeting and many of them were on the edge of their seat throughout the night. The fact that no one left the room until after 9pm is very telling and a few doctors approached us and quoted that “this is the best presentation they have seen from Invisalign in years.” As a team, we appreciated the balance of clinical, marketing, and profitability messaging and we think that it really connected with all the doctors in the room.
As always, your delivery of the material was very energetic and entertaining which certainly keeps the doctors involved and interested. We are grateful for your partnership with Align and your commitment to our products and innovations. Thanks so much for visiting our region and we look forward to having you back in the future!

I wanted to send a quick note to let you know how appreciative I am to of had the opportunity to have Dr. Ataii in Denver on Friday. I was not able to get as many offices as I had hoped to at the event and boy did they miss out!! I had five offices who did attend and followed up with each of them. All raved about what a great course it was! They felt like it was very real world and the best Invisalign course they had ever attended. Everyone commented on how fast the course went and how they would attend another course with Dr. Ataii. I had a follow up lunch with one of the offices today, I was impressed at all the key takeaways not only the doctor had but the staff as well. One last thing Dr. Ataii mentioned Itero quite frequently. I had an office there considering the purchase but was holding of till the end of the year. We discussed iTero at the end of the meeting Friday and he committed to the purchase today!!!!!

Hi Dr. Ataii,
Out of 5 doctors you certified at the Santa Rosa CE I, they have already submitted 10 cases and I am expecting all of them to get their 3 cases in for the promo. I think this might be a record for me and it is a great representation of how great and motivating your lecture was. You are the best!!

Dr. Ataii is awesome. He is a great lecturer. I love this new snore appliance that fits over Invisalign. I want to start doing it. This is what I love about Invisalign, there is always something new and cool breakthroughs. Sleep apnea is a huge issue and effects millions of Americans. Doing Invisalign combined with a sleep appliance is such a benefit for the patient. This will be huge for Invisalign.

Dr. Ataii,
I want to send a sincere thank you from the entire SoCal team for delivering such a powerful message at last night’s study club. Per usual you quickly took control of the room, then showed superb poise in the midst of several off-the-wall sarcastic comments and other distractions in a relatively noisy room – all without a microphone! Most importantly, your content was spot on yet again and you gave our doctors & teams plenty of proven ideas to implement as they get back into their practices.
My offices have already reached out to me saying how impressed they were and how excited they are to make some changes right away. It’s rare to have a presenter deliver content that is digestible at a level that allows the audience to make changes in their office the very next morning, and that’s exactly what you bring. From a TM/TS standpoint, this is what we long for because we know it will result in more confidence thus more cases. As you know it’s difficult to constantly fill these events, but it makes our jobs so much easier knowing we’re vouching for a guy that will consistently deliver.
So again, thank you for putting together such a helpful course! I’ve included last night’s roster for you so you can follow up on the items you discussed. Look forward to seeing you soon.

Just wanted to send you all a quick note of thanks. Dr. Ataii was in Wisconsin for the Practice Growth Seminar today & he ABSOLUTELY rocked the house!
Thank you so much for making this happen. We really appreciate the CE in Wisconsin & Dr. Ataii was ABSOLUTELY the best GP speaker we have ever had here! We cannot wait to have him back! Maybe/hopefully for IFC & IIC in 2015???
Here were a few of the comments from Doctors/Team:
“He’s making me think about things in a totally different light!”
“There are so many things I am implementing from Dr. Ataii after today!”
“I’m excited to go back the office on Monday!”
“I should have brought my whole office!”
“He is the most entertaining speaker I have ever heard!”
“Is he coming back?!? Soon?!!?!?!”
We even had one Doctor that insisted on taking him to the airport because he wanted to keep talking…(poor Dr. Ataii was too nice to say no!).
So thank you, thank you – he’s fabulous & we are really lucky to have him as a speaker for Align. We would welcome him back any time.
Best,
Katie

Man, you ROCKED IT like I knew you would!! I swear, there was nothing I could do to talk you up enough for that gig! I hope that my insight about what the UK doctors need by bringing you here is recognized and appreciated. I really appreciate your passion, Invisalign aside, just your raw passion. It’s infectious and inspiring. You have a gift and you are so eager to give it away, as it should be. Thank you again for coming. It was great hanging out with you and look forward to the next time we can do it.
