A poetic response to our newsletter

Yet another wonderful response to our newsletter comes from a longtime patient and dear friend who we always look forward to seeing here at the office. She is always smiling, full of fun and is such a pleasure to take care of.  She often brings delicious homemade treats and writes fun poetry for us.  She appreciated and enjoyed the newsletter so much that she wrote the following poem to share everything she learned with us. 

Dear Dr. Presley-Nelson and Staff

Your NEWSLETTER was filled with fun and information
Teaching preventive dentistry is part of your innovation
You talked about the Rotadent toothbrush as an aid
But only after proper education has been made.

Various Fluorides are beneficial at different stages in life
To make teeth decay-resistant is a target for which to strive
After gum and tooth health have been carefully achieved
Standard maintenance schedules provide patient and dentist relief.

Procedures are enhanced with humor via head phones
Drilling is drowned when listening to jokes and musical tones.
You do not do your work as a silent operator – that I admit
You use your professional skills, your talents and your wit.

Thank you for all that you and your staff do
That’s one of the reason’s I come to you
I keep smiling day in and day out
After all, isn’t that what good dentistry is all about?

Your Appreciative Dental  Patient

Newsletters bring old friends together…

Well the newsletters went out and we got a lot of great feedback.  One patient named Greg told a story at his appointment a few days ago about how he used to go out late on weekends partying but now is home married with children. He was home last Saturday with the wife and kids when the phone rang about 10pm.  It was a call from an old friend he hadn’t heard from in some time, a buddy he used to see at clubs and parties.  The friend told him that it was very interesting to him how life had changed for both of them.  He had known that Greg would be home on a Saturday night because he too was having a  “wild” Saturday night at home reading his newsletter from his dentist, Dr. Presley-Nelson, and had seen Greg’s name in it!  The two had a good laugh about how it had come to this. Two settled men reading their dental newsletters on a weekend night!!

YEARLY NEWSLETTER STUFFING PARTY!



Here we all are, after work on Friday, having a "stuff and stamp" party for our yearly newsletter!  We ordered pizza from Ken and Amy's Eagle Pizza across the street, and talked and laughed and had a great time.  In attendance were Drs. Presley-Nelson and Fung, hygienist Kathleen, and fabulous staff, Dan, Chisako, Cipriano, Annie, Deanna, and former employee, Tessa.  We have our newsletter almost ready to go but are waiting a short while for our NEW WEBSITE to be ready to "go live".  The newsletter will announce the new website, as well as invite patients to check out our Facebook page and to follow us on Twitter!
