Share Your Story: Written in by Past President Dr. Douglas Giorgio


"I was in the US Navy stationed with marines during the Vietnam war. A lance-corporal was scheduled to have some restorative dentistry. He was petrified. I asked another marine about the patient. I was told that in Vietnam he had been awarded a Bronze Star. He had jumped into a place where there were three Viet Cong. He fought and killed all three probably saving the lives of some Americans.


I went to him and had this conversation. "Corporal, I heard that you received a Bronze Star in Vietnam. Is that true?" He said, "Yes sir." I said, "You jumped into a foxhole and killed three Viet Cong. Is that correct?" Again, he said, "Yes sir".


I then I said, "And you are afraid of me??"


After that we laughed, and his fear left, and we did his dentistry."

We want to share your good news, your happy days and your accomplishments!

Did your practice win an award? Was one of your team members recognized in your community or the state for their awesomeness? Did a dentist in your district dress up like Elsa from Frozen, just to make a patient’s day? Did you create something better than sliced bread?! (This one would be tough, let’s be honest.)  


Whatever it is, WE WANT TO KNOW!
