Good morning Kurt and Gallery staff!!
I wanted to take a minute and thank you for the referral gift and card. Needless to say, I am humbled by your gesture of appreciation. I have told Kurt before that I’ve lived with the curse of bad teeth my whole life. My past experiences with other dentist have left me with “Dental PTSD” . In a way, I’m joking………in a way, I’m not. I still today have to control my emotions when I realize I have an appointment for dental work. Having said that, your dental practice has given me incredible relief from that stress. Each of you, are master’s in the art of your profession. From the moment I walk in, to the time I reach my car, I feel as though you focused on me and me alone.
This testimony is rare and it’s getting rarer by the moment because of the production mind set of America. In your office, I feel like family. So, thank you for the time and effort you put into caring for me and nightmare mouth.
I will continue to refer my family, friends and coworkers to the Gallery for as long as I’m a patient.
