Never underestimate the difference a small group of concerned citizens can make. Indeed that is all that ever has. -Margaret Meade

Dentistry is much more than saving teeth or creating beautiful smiles. For me, being a dentist means being in relationships with people, listening to the stories of their lives, their joys, their challenges and their accomplishments. The Lord has blessed me with the unique opportunity to sit one to one, in private, with several people each day-even though it is in a dental treatment room. What gives me great pleasure is seeing the sparkle in their eyes and hearing the passion in their voice when describing their community involvement. It is very rewarding to work with people who are excited about making a difference in Tallahassee. I would like to take this opportunity to thank and honor a few of our many patients who tirelessly give of their time and talent to make our community a better place:
