'It is an honor and a privilege to serve the patients in my practice; they are the reason I come to work with a smile on my face every day. I enjoy meeting new patients and getting to know them and their families as we work together to improve their oral health. I appreciate it when patients want to play an active role in their dental experience. I joined the oral healthcare field to help change the way people think about going to the dentist 's office. When patients tell me that they did not like to visit the dentist before, but now they love it, I know I 've been successful!'
When patients return to us and refer their family and friends, we feel that we have succeeded in providing the best possible care. Our goal is to provide a warm and caring atmosphere for all patients and ensure that understand their unique situation.
My primary goal for new patients is that they feel they were treated by someone that was approachable, provided them with individualized options with results that exceeded their expectations. I hope that it makes them want to become long term patients, as well as refer their friends and family
Bouncing around from dentist to dentist, could mean a missed opportunity to catch an issue early enough to avoid serious complications. Most importantly, when we get to know each other there is a level of understanding that allows us to provide highly individualized care, says Dr. Sawyer.
