Community is Happening at the Dentist

A serendipitous meeting of friends is normal at our office!
Sly (in the chair) and Kris.

In 2014, most of the businesses we visit on a day-to-day basis are dominated by large corporations; where profit trumps personal relationships, and community sensibilities have been forgotten. In a time when busy schedules may get in the way of offering up a simple "hello" to your neighbor,  we believe it's important to offer a dentist's office that feels a little bit more like home.

In the last few months we've had the pleasure of noticing something unique and wonderful in our reception areas and even in the doctor's chair. Everyone knows everyone, and we absolutely love it. We've watched our patients have sudden reunions with old friends in the waiting area, and had the pleasure of seeing friends spot their co-workers, neighbors and even relatives right there in our office.  We realized that being a genuine "neighborhood dentist" helps put our patients at ease, adds an element of warm intimacy, and keeps filling the office with hearty laughs and friendly sightings.

Visiting a dentist is never going to be a "fun" experience. But by creating a community environment, a real "everyone knows everyone" atmosphere, our office has really become a special place.  And we’re truly grateful for every individual that has chosen to call Ye Olde Village Dentist home. With this in mind we hope that folks will keep running into old acquaintances, students will keep seeing their teachers, and each patient will leave with a brighter smile (and maybe even plans for coffee with an old friend)!

Help us build a community around our practice by following us on Facebook, checking in when you're here, and sharing your experience with your friends and family!

Meet the Team: Kris

A former fourth grade teacher and regional sales manager, Kris has worked as a practice administrator at Dr. Davies’ office since 1998.  X-ray certified, current with CPR and a lover of cross stitching, Kris took over when Dr. Davies’ former office manager retired.   Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota but raised in Clearwater, Florida. Kris is married with one grown son working in the computer field.

As with all of Davies’ staff her favorite part of the job is the people that surround her. “I love the social part of my job” she says, “talking to all the patients and getting to know them along with their families, following the events in their lives.”  Of course, Kris likes to take some time to relax outside of the job as well. When she’s not brightening the days of her patients she loves to travel, read, swim and listen to classic Bruce Springsteen.
