Most Memorable Patient:

“I saw a terminal cancer patient who just wanted a beautiful smile for her fiftieth high school reunion. It was a memorable week for multiple reasons: My first child was born the day before the procedure, my birthday was the day of the procedure and her reunion was the following day. All went according to plan, and she got her final wish.”
