Let's take a moment to appreciate our amazing Dental Assistant team. Over the past few weeks, they've shown incredible flexibility as we've managed with three operatories out of commission due to construction. Even with less clinical space, they smoothly adapted their workflows, supported our providers wholeheartedly, and kept patient flow moving, all while maintaining a high level of service with minimal impact on our appointment capacity.
