I am extremely fortunate to work with an amazing group of dental professionals. It is a privilege to work with my husband. The staff is friendly and our patients are fantastic: A lot of them have been coming to this practice for so many years and they fondly remember Dr. Pat calling them “Tiger.” Tigers can even be spotted throughout the office.
