“I would be happy to share with my colleagues that my participation in the Trust over the past 25 years has been a consistent source of security, comfort, predictability and stability for my dental practice. I rest a little easier knowing that the folks at the Trust have engineered a liability safety net that provides excellent protection for my practice and family assets. I cannot imagine practicing without this critical coverage.”
“I have participated in The Trust since their establishment in 1987, and value their competent, professional staff, their reasonable rates, and their sound business practices. They have built a wonderful reputation for serving and protecting Colorado dentists! Their coverage cannot be beat!”
“The DPLT has been invaluable in helping make everyday decisions in my practice. There are many fine line questions that arise every day during patient care, and they are always willing to listen and advise when appropriate. The other spectrum of DPLT is their unending help with other resources such as insurance coverage business and personal, patient handouts, credit card processing, and pretty much any other aspect of doing business. In short, if you aren't taking advantage of some of what DPLT has to offer, you are missing out.”
“The Trust is one of our state's most unique and beneficial resources for Colorado dentists and dental specialists. It offers exceptional value and excellent representation coupled with a very professional and knowledgeable staff who are always willing to offer advice and resources to ensure optimal risk management for our practices.”
"I brag to my friends in other states about the tremendous advantage Colorado dentists have with the Trust. I have more confidence knowing that a group of dentists are supporting me and looking out for my best interests and my practice. I'm assured knowing that I can call them anytime, with any question, and I'm able to talk to an actual practicing dentist. I feel like the Trust cares for me and my practice."
"Here’s my experience with The Dentists Professional Liability Trust as one of its defense attorneys: it exclusively uses seasoned dentists as claim professionals, so they know the dentistry, provide excellent assistance to legal counsel, and understand the emotional toll of having a patient sue, even though you’ve done your best. The Trust provides sound, honest advice to avoid or resolve conflicts; it arranges immediate legal help for insureds if complaints are made to the Colorado Dental Board; and if litigation is unavoidable, it lends thoughtful, steady support. It is a superior insurer."
"I have been working with the Trust for a total of 5 years. They have made it very easy to reach out for advice and are always protecting the dentist. They are a valuable resource and are consistently professional. The rates are very reasonable but more importantly, the resources and support you are getting by becoming a Member of the Trust is invaluable."
“It’s so nice to have a support system such as the Trust to help navigate through a situation. I greatly appreciate what you do to support dentists like myself throughout the entire state. Thank you, Thank you!"
