February 2012
Did the groundhog see his shadow? The sun is shining and it's coooold outside! Perfect shadow spotting weather. Maybe we'll finally get our snow day. Dr. Lee is hoping that doesn't happen but if it does, please call us at 503-645-4800 before coming in to be sure we are opened for the day. For those of you who are stopping by on February 14, the local grocery store sells flowers and boxes of chocolates, for some one-stop-shopping-center shopping that your loved ones will appreciate.
Put another candle on George and Abe's birthday cake. While you're at it, put a candle on for John and Thomas and Grover and Teddy and Ulysses and all the rest of our presidents, past and present. And bring us a piece of your cake. We will be opened Monday February 20, President's Day but as of now our schedule is full. If you need to cancel an appointment for that day PLEASE do so by Thursday afternoon, February 16. We have a long waiting list of people who don't have appointments that day who would like one. If you aren't spending your day at our office, then we hope you are doing something fun and that the sun is shining for all of us.
We are still doing the road construction slow-down at the corner of 185th and West Union, so please remember to start your travel time a little sooner then usual. Hopefully, we will soon have a wider and less congested corner. Road construction seems to take forever, but we know the reward for the long wait will be happier patients and staff. Please travel safe and obey the signs and driving rules.
Doctor Lee will be taking off Thursday and Friday of Spring Break. If you need an appointment during Spring Break, for March 26, 27 or 28, please make one as soon as possible. Spring Break isn't as popular as Christmas Break at Rock Creek Family Dental because, for some reason, people would rather go to the beach or the mountains or the movies then come see their dentist that week. However, there are some of you who are staying in town and since your children don't have to miss school, this is a good time to get those long over do cleanings or cavities filled. Appointments are filling up fast so don't wait. Please remember that four o'clock appointments are our most popular and fill up first, even during Spring Break.
Please remember to sign up for our patient appreciation drawing each time you come in. We are giving away some fun prizes, like movie tickets and restaurant gift certificates. Who knows, you may be February's winner.
And now for our monthly drum roll --- rat-a-tat-tat and the winner of the January patient appreciate drawing is our great patient, Matt E. with a phone number ending in 30. Come by during office hours, Matt and pick up your fabulous prize. We appreciate you.
Happy Ground Hog Day!
Happy Valentine's Day!
Happy President's Day!
