We love to take care of children!

Here is a quote from a happy mom:

9 year old twins, Aidan and Jack are busy playing baseball for St. Cecilia’s third grade team this season. Go Irish!  They have been coming to see Dr. Presley-Nelson since their first baby teeth made their debut.  Dr. Presley-Nelson always puts them at ease when they are in the chair, singing songs and making them laugh while educating them on the importance of dental hygiene. It is so nice not having to dread going to the dentist!  The office is just a few blocks from St. Cecilia, making the appointments convenient and easy to keep.  Aidan and Jack are fourth generation native San Franciscans which is why we feel so at home at Dr. Beverly Presley-Nelsons’ office.  It has that old San Francisco neighborhood charm, and the staff treats everyone like family.  

We strive to deliver quality care to children while creating a real and close relationship with them. Our goal is to have them grow up unafraid of receiving good dental care. We want them to tell stories of their fond childhood memories concerning their neighborhood dentist. We use distraction, humor, audio entertainment, and a big dose of love along with expert knowledge in dentistry. Bring us your children. You won’t regret it.

Dr Presley-Nelson's Dental Assistant has Famous Brother!

Deanna Aguallo, one of our illustrious Pre-Dental Students from San Francisco State University who works our late shift, has a now famous "kid brother" who is on the cover of BayArea Parent magazine Summer Survival Guide (Google BayAreaParent.com or check your newsstand). You can see the handsome lad holding a starfish at a located at Pillar Point Harbor in Half Moon Bay.

For more about our assistant Deanna, go to our website: www.healthytoothteam.com and click on "Experienced Staff" at the top, then scroll down to "Click here to learn more about Our Staff." You can see her picture and read about her there. We are so lucky to have her on our staff. Maybe we can recruit that handsome brother when he's in college! What do you think? :)

Dr. Presley-Nelson's staff on their way to being certified!

Here's the dental staff: Daniel, Deanna, Cipriano, and Annie, PROUDLY holding their CPR certificates for the online portion of the Save-A-Dummy course. They all went over to Dan's house to work on the online exam, and for some delicious salad and pizza. Later this month, they'll be demonstrating their CPR skills on dummies to complete their certification!

Another Celebrity Dental Patient!

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!
