Committed to Growth and Excellence in Care

Taking Feedback
I am committed to maintaining a growth mindset which means constantly upholding a culture of coachability. We practice everyday with this in mind. “Do good until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” We use criticism or complaints as opportunities to see where we can grow and improve, to better the patient experience, to better ourselves and to elevate patient care to the highest standards.

When I enter the waiting room it is calming, bright and inviting. Reading material is unique and not cluttered. We are proud of our work environment and ensure it is pristine, organized and presentable, at all times. Our physical space represents the same attention to detail as our dentistry. I speak with professionalism and respect as if all patients can hear. When I begin my workday, I am on stage and use a tone and attitude that reflects the same.
