My new dentist

I went to a new dentist yesterday, new for me, not new in general. His office is very small, he's the only dentist, and homey. When I got there a few minutes before 1:00 the lights were off and there was another patient waiting in the waiting room. He told me everyone was still at lunch. I guess the office closes between 12 and 1:00 for lunch. When the receptionist returned she said hello and asked if I was Doodlebug. Then the dentist came out and introduced himself and told me how happy he was to meet me. I felt welcome.

While the dentist was examining my teeth and gums the receptionist came in and said that Charlie was in the waiting room and thought he has an appointment but he didn't. She asked the dentist if she could drive him home. It would only take about 10 minutes and it was really cold outside. The dentist said yes and off she went. I thought, I love how they take care of their patients here. The team of people all seemed genuinely interested to hear about baby Doodle and they requested that I bring pictures of him next time. I think I will.

It's nice to finally have a dentist, or any medical professional for that matter, who I feel comfortable with and who runs a small-town-like office. And their office is just a short drive from my house.
