πŸŽ‰ Happy 4th Anniversary, Kendra! πŸŽ‰

Four years ago, Kendra joined The Lion's Tooth family as our New Patient Coordinator, and she's been the very first friendly voice our patients hear ever since! Whether she's coordinating front desk operations or handling back office details, Kendra brings the same warm, positive energy to everything she does β€” even balancing it all remotely with total ease.

Kendra plays a special role coordinating our "littles" procedures alongside Dr. Greg, making sure our youngest patients (and their families) feel comfortable and cared for every step of the way. Her helpful, can-do attitude doesn't just make patients feel welcome β€” it elevates the whole team around her.

Outside the office, Kendra is a loving wife who brings that same warmth home with her every day.

Thank you, Kendra, for 4 amazing years of dedication, positivity, and heart. We're so lucky to have you as the first hello our patients get! πŸ’›

🦁 Celebrating 7 Years of Dr. Notestine at The Lion's Tooth! 🦁

Today we're celebrating Dr. Notestine's 7th anniversary with our practice β€” but that's really just one chapter in a career built on caring for families. Before joining us, he spent over 35 years running his own practice, and that experience shows in every patient he sees.

Dr. Notestine has a special gift for helping our littlest patients through tongue-tie procedures and frenectomies, giving babies and children the freedom to eat comfortably and yes β€” even sing! It's the kind of work that changes a child's everyday life in ways families feel immediately.

Outside the practice, he gives his time to Good Neighbor House and The Well, showing up for our community the same way he shows up for his patients.

If you've ever had a conversation with Dr. Notestine, you know he has a little bit of Mr. Rogers in him β€” always ready with a thoughtful, quietly wise remark that leaves you thinking (and usually smiling).

Thank you for 7 wonderful years, Dr. Notestine β€” here's to many more! πŸ’™

πŸŽ‰ Happy Work Anniversary, Chas! πŸŽ‰

Today we're celebrating 22 years with the incredible Chasity β€” known around here as "Chas"! Since July 19, 2004, she has poured her heart into this office, and our littlest patients feel it the moment she walks in the room. Chas has a gift for putting nervous kiddos at ease, meeting them exactly where they are with patience and warmth. That same gentle strength shows up at home too, where she's a wonderful mother.

If you know Chas, you know she faces whatever comes her way with grace and poise β€” clearing every hurdle like a horse in a steeplechase, never losing her stride, her beauty, or her heart along the way. Strong, graceful, and steady through it all β€” inside and out, that's Chas.

We are so lucky to have her on our team. Here's to many more years, Chas β€” THANK YOU!

🦷✨ 24 YEARS TODAY ✨🦷

On July 15, 2002, Tammy B. walked through our doors β€” back when we were still a little primary Lion's Tooth β€” and she never left. Today we're celebrating 24 years of Tammy being exactly who she is: the heart of this practice.

Tammy, EFDA and Clinical Team Lead, is what we lovingly call our True OG. The GOAT, if we're being honest. Ask anyone who's worked beside her, and they'll tell you the same thing β€” her clinical skill is only matched by how much she genuinely cares. About her patients. About her coworkers. About getting it right for everyone she meets.

You know when Tammy's in the room. She's present, she's engaged, and she brings the same love to work as she brings to her own family!

24 years of showing up, showing love, and setting the standard. We are so lucky to have her.

Happy anniversary, Tammy β€” here's to many more! πŸ’›πŸ§‘
