Funniest/Most Memorable and/or Most Interesting Moment Experienced in Dentistry
We always love playing jokes on each other at our office. I am usually the worst culprit. A new person came to our office and I was examining his teeth. He became very quite and when I least expected it he raised up slightly and yelled "boo!" I was taken so off guard I screamed and slid the chair across the floor a foot or so. I was so impressed with his success of getting me I had no choice but to offer up major high fives and we all had a good laugh! 

Anything else you want our patients to know about you!:
I love visiting with the children who come to our office. We try to keep things fun. One little girl was so excited that she learned how to do a handstand. I was so excited for her that I had to see her accomplishment. So, the deal was if she did a handstand, I would too. I stayed true to my word and as my coworkers all paused to watch, I did a handstand in the hall! Coming to our office is an adventure - I love what I do!
