Happy Holidays!

The holiday season has started.  I say this every year but it seems like just a few months ago we were packing up our decorations and preparing for the cruel Southern California winter (just kidding).  I would like to take this opportunity to thank  my great staff: hygienists Brenda, Mai and Chau; assistants Stephanie, Ashley, Sol and Cathy; and front office managers Yvonne and Lori.  They all work very hard to facilitate the provision of quality dentistry to our valued patients. I would also like to extend my gratitude to these valued patients.  I am humbled by your trust, friendship and kind words. Thank you for allowing me to treat your families and friends.

From my family to yours:  Have a safe and fun holiday season!

Dental Assistant Extraordinaire

  I would like to dedicate this blog to Sol Lacson, my Registered Dental Assistant for the last twenty or so years.  Sol was a practicing dentist in the Philippines  and achieved great results with limited materials and equipment.  How do I know this?  The proof can be found in the mouths of her three children!  Mom’s dental work was just recently replaced – bonded fillings that had lasted over twenty – five years!  I hope my current dental work will last as long.  Her knowledge and intense interest in everything dental has served me well over the years.

Sol is a proud grandmother to six (and counting) children and a devoted wife and mother.  She is winding down her work commitments but doesn’t hesitate to come to the office and help out when needed.  Our patients  and I will miss her everyday presence, her kind and gentle demeanor, and her valuable dental skills.   Over the years  Sol has been more like a colleague than an employee. Join me in wishing Sol a long, happy and healthy retirement .  Thank you Sol.
