Our goal is to provide the highest quality of dental care with
exceptional service by going the extra mile before, during, and after treatment. We will thereby establish a lifelong partnership with our patients.
Our Patients are the most important visitors on our premises. They are not dependent on us; we are dependent of them. They are not outsiders in our practice; they are part of it. We are not doing them a favor by serving them; they are doing us a favor by giving us the opportunity to do so.
We shall strive for excellence with all our patients. We shall set our goals to achieve total patient satisfaction with the highest quality treatment and exceptional service. We will leave each day proud that we did our best and that we provided cutting edge technology to our patients.
This type of care can only be accomplished by a group of people that work well together and enjoy doing so. Selection of staff will be made using these criteria. The staff and doctor will be kept up to date with recent advances by continuing education.
Our office will be a place to visit and our patients will be made to feel at home. We want our patients to be proud to tell others where they receive their dental care.
