A question we think about often is How do weknowwe are doing a good job as a dentist? For BelRed Dentists, its when patients come back time and time again to ourRedmonddental practice and are happy and excited with the results. Last week we had one of our long-time patients Peter back in for his checkup and cleaning (which was great by the way!). Its so fun to catch up and hear how Peter was doing. Peter has been coming to our practice since 2007! Whats great is that even thoughPeter lives in Seattle,he makes the trek all the way into our Redmond office to receive dental care!
Not only does it warm our hearts to see Peter, but it also makes us feel great knowing that we are doing such a good job that patients continue to come back to us for their oral health needs. Thanks Peter and all of our long-time patients who trust Dr. Sahi and her associates at BelRed Dentists with their oral care!
