Too much of a good thing?

2009-10-19T00:54:39Z

In an effort to promote good oral-health habits to the children in our community, we will buy back their unwanted Halloween candy. $1/lb. up to $5/child. All collected candy will be sent to our service men and women in Iraq.

Everything is now computerized.

2009-09-29T02:25:19Z

Our data has been successfully converted, and we are now running the latest version of Dentrix. Please be patient while we learn how to use this program to serve our patients more efficiently.

Computers Are Landing

2009-09-18T19:48:20Z

Next week, we will be computerized! Patients can look forward to a digital record, better more efficient billing and insurance claims.

Falling into place.

2009-05-23T13:46:15Z

Well, not exactly. It's more like "carefully planned and nearly perfectly executed"...

With any luck, next week will go very well and I'll be wearing my white coat on June 2nd.

We will be completely paperless by the middle of July.

We will have a new front office by December 1st.

Getting Closer

2009-05-14T03:37:17Z

Everything is ready and waiting for the office to open! There is just one last piece to fall into place before anything else can move forward... my license. I have heard everything from 2 weeks to 6 weeks. All that I know is that it is out of my hands...

We are very excited to begin, nonetheless, and are looking forward to many updates and changes to the space. The first thing that you will notice is the new computers. We should be totally digital by the end of July [yes, I decided to have PCs in the office]. Then there will be some changes that might not be all that noticeable; such as new materials, some new instruments, different organization styles etc. The next big change will come in November, when we add a room to the space. At this time we will also re-do the entire front office, and get new flooring and ceiling tiles throughout. The last step will be new furnishings in the treatment rooms which will probably be around September 2010.

Work the Networks

2009-04-09T23:54:59Z

One of the big decisions and changes that will most effect the office is going digital. I have been a mac user since my days in the recording studios of CIM. However, the strongest software for dental management is PC only. What's more, I love the clean uncluttered look without a big computer tower crowding my counter-space. The question is, can I really, truly use a mac as if it were a pc? Can I connect them to a server just like I would a dell?

If I'm going to make this work, I'm going to do it before I make a huge investment in hardware. So I'm thinking about running parallels on both my laptop, and my sister-in-law's iMac, and using them in the office before I invest the money in brand new computers. This way, we know that everything will work when I get them out of the boxes.

One Step at a Time

2009-04-08T19:59:25Z

The new identity should be finalized this week! The look of this site, though, may take a bit longer to finish up. Rest assured, all important information will be readily available.

A New Contact Page

2009-03-14T02:55:57Z

I've added ways to get and keep in touch. Check out the contact page to find out all of the ways we can connect.

Logo Crazy

2009-03-06T18:35:37Z

Without a commercial identity, I'm stuck like a duck in a rut. We are currently working on developing concepts for our Logo, which will lead to a formal design of this website.

If anyone is interested in submitting a portfolio for consideration, please do so.

The Grand Opening awaits!

2009-03-05T21:44:57Z

I am happy to say that all sections of my licensing exams have been passed! I am now in the process of deciding where I will be opening my doors and beginning my practice of dentistry.

The first day that I anticipate being open is 7/6/2009.

As decisions come to a close, more information will become available.
