I won't do as long of a review as I've done previously, but I definitely want to praise Peak Family Dentistry again. I went in for my cleaning a few days ago, and I very quickly discovered two things: 1) My previous hygienist, Tammy, who I had been seeing for years, was leaving, and 2) Dr. Daniel wasn't going to be the dentist to see me that day. I ended up working with a new hygienist for the first time, Perry. She was sweet, really fun to talk to, and very fluidly competent at her job. I hope she becomes my new regular hygienist in the upcoming departure of Tammy. As for the dentist I saw, it was actually Dr. Daniel's father, Dr. Marty. This was my first time being seen by him, and I enjoyed every second of it. The man is really kind, has an outgoing personality, is easy and fun to talk to, is extremely knowledgeable, and he gave me VERY positive vibes about the condition of my teeth. I've previously been really bad about flossing, and I've never gotten into any kind of habit of using a water pick. Dr. Daniel had recommended both the last time I had a filling, so I've been diligent about working them into my routine the past 6 months. When Dr. Marty saw my teeth, he gushed over how great they looked and praised me for my diligence in following his son's advisement. Hearing these positive words really inspires me to continue to reinforce good oral behaviors. Dr. Marty's personality and approach is a perfect fit for his profession. Lastly, this part isn't a review, but I hope Tammy sees this: Tammy, I'm sorry we didn't get to speak longer at my last visit, but I was in a huge hurry to get back home to clock in for work. Therefore, I thought it would be appropriate to type sort of an open letter to you here: Thank you for being so great all of these years. I've known you ever since the Fogo & Fogo days, through Dr. Jim's solo practice years, and now through the recent transition to Dr. Daniel's practice. You are absolutely one of the sweetest people I know, and I've always loved interacting with you. You always made a point to ask about important things in my personal life, and you actually retained the things I told you. Therefore, you could follow up on those things at my next visit. I know you had to work extra hard cleaning my teeth because of my lack of flossing, but you never shamed me for my lack of flossing. I never felt judged, I always felt comfortable. Hopefully you'll be proud to know that I finally established a flossing routine! I just hate that you didn't get to see it for yourself. Anyway, seeing you and Dr. Jim at each visit was always like seeing family. The new staff at Peak Family Dentistry is out of this world amazing, but that doesn't mean I'll miss you any less. I really hope the future continues to shine bright for you. Thanks again, and God bless.
