Some goodbyes are harder than others. 💙
After 4 incredible years, it's time for us to say goodbye to Nikki. From countless surgeries to keeping our clinical team running smoothly, she has been a huge part of SoCO Perio. Her knowledge, dedication, and willingness to tackle just about anything have made a lasting impact on our office. Whether she was helping patients feel at ease, teaching a teammate something new, or figuring out how to fix something the rest of us couldn't, she always stepped up. We're grateful for everything she's contributed over the years.
We're excited for this next chapter in her life and wish her nothing but happiness and success.
Thank you, Nikki, we are going to miss you! You'll always be a part of the SoCO Perio family. 💛
