This past week marked the 25th anniversary of Inspired Dentistry of Charlotte. The day came and went, and quite honestly... really didn't feel "different" or special at the time. I've had nearly a week now to reflect, and with each new day, the swell of emotions have ballooned. At times, on the cusp of tears. I am filled with gratitude for this journey.
I knew I was going to enjoy dentistry. I knew I would enjoy the unpredictable nature and challenge of running a small business. And I knew I would enjoy the creative space to live out my philosophical beliefs in the way I have chosen to care for my patients and my team.
I love dentistry. I love my patients (all 12,300+ of you guys...minus a few that caused me to to lose sleep, hair, stomach lining, and heart tissue). And of course I love my teams...TeamIDOC and Team Selden!💙
I recently came across the "Rules of the Campsite." It simply states,"Leave the campsite better than you found it." I'd like to think that when I hang up my surgical loupes for the last time, I would have left dentistry better than I found it. Here's to the next 25 years. Cheers!🙏🏾
