I enjoy seeing our patients grow as they become part of our DFC family. When they are young, I love to see their excitement when they've had a great visit with no cavities. Later on, we hear updates on high school life and activities, and the excitement that goes along with graduating. Knowing that we have been a part of helping them maintain those beautiful smiles warms my heart.
My favorite part about working at DFC? Its hard to choose between our amazing team and the children, so I choose both! I absolutely love the innocent questions the children have about their teeth. They are so proud when they begin to understand and have a great check-up. Its so gratifying.
I enjoy working at Dentistry for Children because I truly love working with kids! They make every day exciting! I love to see how happy they get when I make them a balloon animal at the end of their visit.
One thing I love about working at DFC is the kids, for sure! Watching them come in a little nervous, but leave happy with smiles on their face is the best. I listen to all of the interactions and stories they have with the assistants and doctors and it puts a smile on my face! My coworkers are so kind and caring, and love to have fun. Not only with our patients and their families, but with each other as well. Makes for a great place to work!
