GRATEFUL FOR YOUR TRUST A THANK YOU TO OUR PATIENTS
Every successful relationship requires trust, whether it’s between two spouses, a teacher and student, a doctor and patient, or a parent and child. And we know that going to the dentist is a unique circumstance for many people. While we strive to provide the most pleasant experience possible for all of our patients, many people find the dentist frightening or overwhelming. We’re grateful that you trust us to take care of you and provide a positive experience.
One of the most meaningful ways our patients demonstrate their trust in us is through referrals to their family members, friends, and coworkers. There is no greater compliment than trusting us with your loved one’s health. Thank you so much for believing we’ll always provide you with the best care possible and for being a part of our dental family. It’s a family we’re always looking to grow. We greatly appreciate referrals of any family members or friends who may be looking for dental care. We also reward those who send new patients our way with our referral program. Once the person you refer completes their new patient appointment, you and the new patient will receive a gift. It’s our way of saying thank you for trusting us! Finally, we hope you know that learning about you and your family is one of our favorite parts of the job. It keeps us coming to work every day with a smile. Thank you for everything, and enjoy a happy holiday season!
The holiday season is typically marked by giving and gratitude. Particularly around Thanksgiving, it’s traditional for us to count our blessings and be openly grateful to those around us. At Exceptional Smiles, we all have a lot of reasons to be thankful, but what we appreciate most is our patients and, more specifically, their trust in us.
Your trust allows us to provide exceptional care day in and day out. We rely on your patience and willingness to follow our recommendations to give you the experience you deserve. We strive to respond with patience of our own, a readiness to answer questions, and a friendly attitude.
