2009 Newsletters
WINTER NEWSLETTER
11-17-2009
We all wanted to thank you for a wonderful year and for your kind and generous welcome to Dr. Deb and Dr. Rob; the fifth generation of doctors in our practice. With the addition of this husband and wife team, a practice that started during World War I, is now poised to move well into the 21st century with the kind of gentle, warm and highly capable care that you have come to expect from Bethesda Sedation Dentistry.
We wanted to update everyone on the events and notable occasions that have taken place with us during the latter part of the summer, and the first part of the fall. 2009 was a year of giving back for our team in Bethesda. As the summer quieted down, our team was gearing up for a trip to Appalachia, where they provided much needed dental care to a town hidden in the Appalachian Mountains. During this charitable trip, Bethesda Sedation Dentistry alone treated hundreds of needy citizens from the town of Wise, providing routine dentistry to a population in need. Shortly after their return to Bethesda, Kimberly our exceptional hygienist, traveled to Belize on a one week dental mission trip where, with her husband Charlie by her side, she treated many disadvantaged people who, had it not been for her charitable nature, wouldn’t have been able to receive dental care. In fact, Charlie who is an executive at IBM even got his hands wet and assisted in the treatment of numerous patients.
You may think that after all of that travel, everyone would want some time at home, but that wasn’t true for Iona. She was fortunate enough to meet up with her mom in Switzerland recently. Her daughter Ellie joined her for this trip, which evolved into three generations of women gathering from different parts of the globe.
More recently, Ed, Rob and Deb attended a renowned two week hospital anesthesia rotation at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Patterson, New Jersey. While at the hospital, they received very personalized didactic and hands on training to learn the latest and most effective sedation techniques. We are eager to share this newly acquired knowledge with you to give you an even more comfortable sedation experience.
As the winter season approaches, we are planning our team holiday party but, because it’s a surprise, we won’t even make mention of where it’s going to be in this newsletter. It wouldn’t surprise us one bit if they read this newsletter in hopes of finding out where we’re taking them. You’ll simply have to stay tuned to our spring newsletter to find out where we went and what happened.
Until then, have a warm, healthy and safe winter, and holiday season. We’ll chat again in a few months but, should the desire arise, please stop in before then to let us know what you’ve been up to.
We would also like to extend a warm welcome to Adrienne, our newest team member. She’ll likely be the first person you speak with when you call, and the first big, bright smile you see when you arrive!
All our best;
Team at Bethesda Sedation Dentistry
