I am so thankful for our wonderful patients who feel more like friends. It is so nice to work with such great people who love what they do each and every day. I am beyond blessed to have such a loving and close family. Happy Thanksgiving!
Kiley Esbenshade (Expanded Function Dental Assistant)
I am grateful to work alongside genuinely caring and considerate people—qualities that extend beyond our coworkers to the clients we serve as well. Life is precious, and we are reminded of just how fleeting it can be. We are finite beings, unable to save even a single breath for later; we only ever have one at a time. This reminds me to be grateful for the little things: for my health, my family, and my friends!
Lori Pichardo (Expanded Function Dental Assistant)
Being in dentistry is a unique privilege. Every day offers the chance to meet new people and help change how they move through the world with a healthier, happier smile. I am thankful for grounding constants: the patients who are like family who support and laugh with us, the health to pursue daily work, and the gift of purposeful time with family and friends.
Yasmin Gaspar (Dental Assistant)
I am thankful for being able to work in the dental field and help patients improve their oral health. I appreciate being part of the team here at Boulevard Dental–we all respect and care for each other. I am also very thankful for my family, especially my daughter who brings so much joy to my life. As a mom, I have learned that time goes by very fast and we must be grateful and treasure every little moment in life.
Ann Medianick (Marketing)
I’m thankful for the unity here at the office. It’s this unity that allows us to serve our patients with joy. On a personal level, I’m super thankful for a husband who is as genuinely caring as a dentist as he is as a husband/father. I’m also very thankful for our three children who bring a tremendous amount of energy and fun to our lives. And I’m ultimately thankful to God for graciously providing us with this all.
So as you can see, there is SO much for which to be thankful. Life can be hard at times, but we can’t neglect to see ALL the good! May we always remember to see the good and to give thanks this Thanksgiving season…and beyond.
