ACES WINNER! 🤗🎉
Taelor Horne, Dental Hygienist, received 3 ACES awards. Here is what her nominators had to say👉
"Taelor did an excellent job helping me understand each step of my appointment and explaining how each process related to my dental health. She took the time to clearly explain what she was doing and why it was important, making me feel informed and comfortable throughout my visit. Taelor was patient and welcoming, and she answered every question I had without making me feel rushed or uncomfortable. Her ability to communicate clearly and genuinely care about my experience made a big difference. She went above and beyond to make sure I understood my dental health and felt confident about the care I was receiving. Taelor’s professionalism, kindness, and dedication to patient education are a great example of what makes her deserving of an ACES Award."
"Taelor Horne and Allyson Hollenbeck were awesome"
"Taelor went above and beyond to make sure a student shadowing felt welcome and educated in the dental hygiene profession. Student was nervous to begin with, but Taelor made them feel very comfortable. By the end of the shadowing experience, the student felt great and very educated! Thanks Tae!"
