Our Valentine’s
As we know Valentine’s Day is a day to remember those who are special to us.  This Valentine’s Day Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, we gave away roses for all of our “lady” patients.  We gave chocolates to all of our “gentlemen” patients.  We just wanted to let them know how special they are to our office.  As many of you know our mission for our patients is to give them quality care with friendly service.

Tiffany has previously worked for us as a dental assistant for Dr. Patrick Lawrence, from September of 2001, but left our office in May 2004, to take time off for maternity purposes.  While she was gone we had the opportunity to hire Alyssa as Dr. Patrick Lawrence’s dental assistant.
