Dear Patients:
This year has been a very difficult one for me, my family and my staff. It also dawned upon me some of you were not aware of the passing of my wife Lisa Mancin.
As many of you know I had been out of office since July 25, 2022 after my beloved wife and beautiful sweet angel Lisa was diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. On August 20, 2022 my best friend, my soulmate, the mother of my children and partner of 35 years became one of God’s angels.
Many of you got to know Lisa on a personal level as she worked in the office for a number of years as both an office manager and registered dietician. In 2002 when our middle son Tristan was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (an incurable muscle wasting disease) she opted to step away as a fulltime member of the staff and chose to dedicate the next 20 years of her life to do everything in her power to ensure Tristan’s life experience was a special one. Her 24/7/365 dedication as a caregiver and mother was without a doubt an incredible demonstration of self-sacrifice.
I returned to the office full time to resume seeing patients on September 12, 2022. The transition back has been difficult as one can imagine after losing my best friend and partner of 35 years but my wonderful staff and you my patients have made the transition much easier than one could ever imagine.
The incredible outpouring of support and love from everyone has been beyond moving and words cannot describe what that has meant to me and my family. Despite everything I am truly blessed and thankful for all of the positive things I have in my life. Those positives include you my patients and my staff and I just want to say thank you to each and every one of you.
Again, thank you for being so understanding and supportive during the last five months, as I continue to gather myself, my emotions and acclimate to life without the person who completed me.
I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and thank you for being a part of the Northland Dental Family.
With Much Love,
Dr. Mark S. Mancin (aka “Doc”) & Staff
