She’s Leaving Home: Brittany Moves On
As I have gotten older, I’ve realized that you never quite get everything dialed in just the way you want it and keep it there. For long, anyway. There’s just too many moving pieces to life. So, in response, I have become more and more comfortable accustomed to change, such that I now view my working relationships not only as... read more »
The Simple Math of Building Teams…and Pyramids
I’m often asked how I am able to keep my staff turnover so low. While most of it is just dumb luck, some of it is that I am fortunate—blessed—to have found the right people to work in my office, and some of it is just simple math: I take care of my employees, and they take care of me... read more »
Move Over Starbucks: A Dentist/MBA Student Does a Survey of His Own
In past blog posts, I have written about the fact that I am pursuing an MBA. This endeavor is partly a self-enrichment project (you can only watch so much American Idol!), but mostly because I am a continuous student, always interested in learning how to better the clinical and business aspects of my practice. The first case study in my... read more »
Still Waters Run Deep: Michelle Retires
During this time of Thanksgiving, it is only appropriate for me to give thanks to someone who has meant so much to my dental practice, Michelle Baber.  For, you see, she is retiring. Yes, as seen in the photo (thanks for taking a little off the top, Valerie!), she looks too young to retire, but retire she must in order... read more »
Life Comes at You Fast! Our Fall/Winter 2014 Newsletter
Change has characterized the past year here at Timothy E. Gillespie, DMD.  Retirements, people moving to other locales, and wonderful babies have all had an influence on the landscape of our practice.  Most recently, Michelle Baber has made the difficult decision to retire as her attention is being needed more on the homefront.  Michelle has been a staple in this practice... read more »
New Horizons….for Me and Sue!
It seems that just about every week this summer (and now fall!) that I am introducing our practice friends and family to someone new. Well, there’s no revolving door here at Gillespie, DMD, but we have had some ch-ch-ch-ch-changes this year, what with Darlene retiring, Belinda moving, Donna going part-time, and now, Michelle going part-time! Our latest, greatest addition is... read more »
She’s Back! Our Official 2014 Chapstick Model
She’s back! Hygienist and the Official 2014 Chapstick Model for our office, Donna Barnhart is back from maternity leave! Feeling that motherly tug to spend time with her newborn, Chase, and older brother, Cooper, Donna will be working a three-day workweek with us until sometime in the not-too-distant future when the kiddies head off to grade school. For now, we love... read more »
Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend! Thanks for 15 Years, Rebecca!
Okay, so I really don’t want to wear this out since I’ve posted Rebecca all over Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram already, but when someone works with you for 15 years, you just gotta tell the world! I’m so happy to have someone like Rebecca in my office. Working mostly as one of my dental assistants, but having willfully jumped into... read more »
