Dear Friends and Patients,
As the New Year gets underway we are pleased to announce several exciting enhancements designed to improve the care and service we provide to you and your family.
After 18 years of devoted assistance I am pleased to share that Sylvia Gomez has assumed the important role of office receptionist. As you know from your personal experience Sylvia has in-depth knowledge of dental care. She will now be putting that experience — along with her trademark caring and cheerful attitude — to work helping schedule your appointments and answering your questions.
As in other parts of our society, advances in technology have enhanced our ability to offer affordable, quality dental care. No where is that more evident than in the advancements made in dental implants, the new standard of care for tooth replacements. Our practice is now able to offer dental implants at a price competitive with the cost of a dental bridge. Even more important than cost is the fact that dental implants can last far longer and are less damaging to existing teeth.
We are in the process of upgrading our website to provide more educational information as well as convenience in the form of secure email access. As always, your personal and medical information remains private and is not accessible via the Internet.
Our website is also the place to learn more about our community service activities. As many of you know our staff supports the annual CareNow event and I continue my volunteer dental days helping the homeless through the LA Mission. This spring I’ll also be part of an American humanitarian team visiting rural China to learn, teach and provide medical/dental care to the local population.
In closing I want to emphasize what an honor and privilege it is to be your dental family. Each year we strive to improve our service and we are particularly excited about the changes in store for 2012.
On behalf of Sylvia, Ling and Michell we look forward to serving you.
