This is our great staff! John gets to work with some great ladies everyday! Every day he comes home with a funny story or with a interesting story that shows why these girls are great to work with. John is so glad that these girls don't dig up drama for or from each other. They support each other in their jobs and in the personal lives too.
Our business is our lively hood. Our ability to support our family now and in the future really depends on this business. So, needless to say it is very important to us. These girls give us 100% while they are at work and help us achieve our goals. We hope in return we can provide them with a good job and a good work environment.
Picture from Left to Right:
Sarah.....Front Office. She keeps John's schedule full, bills things, and takes messages from me about what John needs to pick up at the grocery store, takes it calmly when John flips out every 3 months about recall and harasses her about the "list" (even though she does a great job at this anyway, John just needs the flip out every once in a while ;)....And SO MUCH more!
Aubree.....Hygienist. She is finally full time, and we are so glad. She seems to like working at the office, even though John makes it seem like a sauna to a pregnant lady by keep the heat up so high. Our paitents love her, and I enjoy getting my teeth cleaned by her too. She doesn't judge me for not flossing enough ;) She is expecting a baby boy in March....can't wait to meet him.
Veronica......she was our part time Assistant, and just left us for a full time position. Darn! She was great, and had a great sense of humor. She also took the brunt of a lot of funny/weird patient/doctor comments....and she always did it with a laugh. And, she was patient as John, and I at times, couldn't get her name straight for AGES. But we'll be seeing her a bunch as she finishes her ortho case in the office.
Gennifer......yes I spelled the right. She the assistant. When she first applied 3 years ago as a student intern, we all felt sorry for her cause she misspelled her name on her own resume (remember that Shannon?). But we were the silly ones, she didn't misspell her name, but we all get a good laugh at ourselves over it! Gennifer has worked so hard to become a fantastic assistant. She is amazing with our elderly and child patients. She has come up with a great system in the "back" which consists of a 3x3 room with a sink. She pretends to "not notice" when John talks to himself, and makes our patients feel at ease.
John....of course thinks he runs the show. We'll let him keep thinking that!
This year at the office is going to be another adventure, with the office moving to a new building in the summer. We promised the girls they would have a new place, meaning more space which is DESPERATELY needed, at the end of the year 2009. They were so forgiving and accepting when they got the news that it would be another 6 month wait.
I'm glad John loves what he does, enjoys his patients so much, and works with these supportive women.
Here's to another great year at PFD.

I'm glad your husband has so many great people to work with!
Sarah- it is so good that you are so involved in who is working at the office. They seem like really great girls. Zac is doing 'reviews' with his staff this week, can't say they all get along so well, but it is getting a lot better. 13 girls in one office, no thanks!
