I am not sure I could just keep it at one story because working with these amazing patients and their families has touched my heart in so many ways I didn’t think possible. When we meet our patients they are normally at the end of the line for financial support and have no where else to turn or simply cannot find a way to get to and from their treatments. As we work with them, help them each and every step of the way, we get to know them and their families and the bond is absolutely irreplaceable. Read more>>

When I walked in front of my mother during the graduation, she had tears in her eyes.

On the hard days, I remind myself of this story and keep moving forward. Read more>>

It gave her a sense of purpose & wanting to LIVE Read more>>

I had a client recently come to me for a Camouflage Tattoo treatment on her face. She had been exposed to black mold 10 years ago which left scars on her face. She mentioned she had tried various other treatments which did not help. These scars left her feeling insecure to the degree she would rush to put on foundation and concealer right out of the shower. When I told her I can assist, she was moved to tears. Read more>>

Younger people are seeking out cosmetic dentistry in record numbers. Increased pressure from social media to “look perfect” has many teenagers feeling less than confident about their smiles. I recently treated a 16 year old competitive cheerleader. Her permanent teeth were small, discolored and she had spaces between all her upper teeth. She was very conscious that she did not have a smile like her friends. She hid her teeth with a closed lip smile all the time. Read more>>
