S. R. (Verified Patient)

My appointment was for a cleaning with Chris. I arrived with an attitude: I was full of disappointment in ME because I had not taken care of my teeth since my last visit. I had good intentions. Chris encouraged me to continue to "show up." With her support I stopped the personal guilt trip. I... My appointment was for a cleaning with Chris. I arrived with an attitude: I was full of disappointment in ME because I had not taken care of my teeth since my last visit. I had good intentions. Chris encouraged me to continue to "show up." With her support I stopped the personal guilt trip. I now believe I have a re-set and can unlearn some sad personal care habits. Bottom line is I do not have to dread my next visit because Chris is willing to help me do better rather than criticize me.

W. G. (Verified Patient)
