Meet Colleen, our Employee of the Month at Kellogg Dental. Her steady positivity, clear goals, and careful attention change patient visits for the better and lift our whole team. We’re proud to celebrate her and share why she stands out.

Why we chose Colleen

Colleen is a newer team member who has already made a big impression. Nominated for Employee of the Month because she is a genuine ambassador of positivity, she brings motivation and a goal-oriented approach to everything she does. That attitude shows in small ways that matter—a calm voice with nervous patients, a quick hand when a co-worker needs help, and focused attention during every procedure.

What that looks like day to day

  • Friendly introductions that put patients at ease.
  • Clear, focused assistance chairside so procedures run smoothly.
  • Willingness to step in wherever the team needs support.
  • Putting patient needs first—listening closely and following through.

How she helps patients and the team

Patients notice when dental care feels organized and compassionate. Colleen’s goal-oriented nature helps keep appointments on track while still giving people the time and attention they need. Her teammates notice the same thing—she’s always ready to help prep rooms, assist during procedures, or offer a practical solution when a busy day needs a little extra care.

Qualities we appreciate

  • Positivity that creates a welcoming office atmosphere.
  • Motivation to grow and improve as a dental professional.
  • Attention to detail during treatments and patient communication.
  • Team spirit that helps everyone work better together.

A small reward with big meaning

To show our appreciation, Colleen received a $50 gift card to Outback Steakhouse to share with her husband, Ryan. It’s a simple thank-you for the many ways she contributes to our office culture and to patient care. If you see her on your next visit, please say “Congrats.” A few kind words go a long way.
