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 »
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 »
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 »
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 »
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 »
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 »
Darlene Brinson: Devoted mother, and now grandmother. Dental Assistant. Hygiene Scheduler. A poet and we didn’t know it, until we noticed she made a rhyme every time. For over 12 years, Darlene has been helping keep our office running smoothly by working as a roving dental assistant, scheduler, and all-around laugh-maker. She always did everything I asked with a “Yessir”... read more »
This is Mary. She came to our rescue several times as a fill-in assistant over the last 6 months when we experienced a few growing pains during the re-expansion of our practice. A former figure-skater with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Alabama, Birmingham (my dental alma mater!), she was also licensed to practice dental assisting and... read more »
Please join us in welcoming Valerie Mueller to our practice! A Registered Dental Hygienist with Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Healthcare Management and 20 years’ experience in the dental field, Valerie will help run the administrative aspects of our office as we begin to expand our practice. After graduating from Youngstown State, Valerie began her career as a dental hygienist in northeast... read more »
When someone stays in a dental office for 20 years, they’re committed—or should be! Dentists are notoriously picky types, who can’t have anything done for them fast enough, and if something isn’t accomplished quickly—they change their minds. It’s kind of like working with an unstable radioactive isotope that either blows up or fizzles out…and you don’t know when either is... read more »
