great experience with dental office

We all struggle getting health care for our LOs, but I'd like to share a positive experience. When I called to schedule my DH's dental exam, I informed the office staff he now had dementia and I would be coming with him- I wanted to check COVID procedures, etc. A week before the appointment, I was called at work by the dental office to reschedule due to a health issue with the dentist. She remembered our conversation and knew she had to speak with me and bypass. my husband. I was so grateful for her understanding. Every bit of support is so helpful.

It's wonderful when this happens. It can be so hit or miss sometimes with health care providers that way. I'm so glad this worked out well for you.0
