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 »

Serious that is, if selling your house and moving out of town is serious, and I think it is. Yes, she’s really leaving me this time. Well, her husband has lived in Wilmington for the... read more »
It’s great to have hobbies, don’t you think? Not only do they allow us to access and explore areas of personal interest in our free time, but can form the basis for self-expression outside the workplace as well. Such is the case with my trumpet. For five years, I played in a 9-piece band with a group of friends; we... read more »
Let me introduce you to Kate Ross. She's one of my "new long-timers," replacing one of my other long-timers, Darlene, who just retired. Kate impressed us with her solid history in customer service, combined with experience in dental office management, and an obvious calm demeanor that will come in handy in our busy office! Kate is a graduate of ASU,... read more »
