Greatest Case:
Two patients'
experiences stand out. First, Barbara gives Dr. Whitehouse credit
for changing her life. To this day she will tell you how his genuine
care for her as a person helped her begin to like herself. She
recently commented how much easier it is to have dental care.
The second person's four
page letter commented on her self-image, greatly enhanced by her new
smile. She said "before, when I could not smile because of my
gray teeth, I just wasn't happy. But now, I feel like smiling all
the time and my smiling makes those around me happier."
Treating his patients as they would want to be treated, and
going that extra mile to assure satisfaction has always been Dr. Whitehouse's credo.
