Earlier this summer, I underwent elective surgery following a bout of diverticulitis. Why one would undergo elective surgery following a bout of diverticulitis is a story for another time, but one of the many epiphanies I had during this experience was just how huge the little things can mean in the time of need. I’m a control freak. I’m also... read more »

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.

I told you so. That’s what my wife was going to say and I knew it, but I called her anyway. “Yes, dear, you’re right, but right now, I’ve got to deal with this problem, so I’m just letting you know I’ll be getting home later, much later, than I thought.” Crow for dinner, followed by a dessert of sour... read more »

I know my eighth-grade prom is this weekend, but I was too shy to ask you before now. I just picked you up in my brand new car—a Pinto! We went to a movie and then got some ice cream. I hid the engagement ring in a box of Russell Stover chocolates. Though I can tell you saw it coming,... read more »

And, despite my best efforts, my heart seems determined... read more »
