So this happened at the office.
I walked in and everybody was dressed like me. Polo shirt, tan khakis, the whole thing. They named it “Romero Day.” Some of them went all the way with it: shoelaces untied (mine never stay tied), a pocket full of reading glasses, and the same old digital watch I’ve been wearing forever.
They did it to celebrate 20 years of Romero Dental Care here in Menifee, and I’ll admit it got to me a little.
I’m thankful for the team I have right now. They work hard, they look out for each other, they take great care of our patients, and clearly they don’t miss a thing. I’m proud to work next to them every day.
Left to right: Maria S., RDA; Maria L., RDA; Irma, RDA; Julie, RDH; Shaina, RDH; Shelby; Emily; Ruth, RDA; Carol, RDH; me; and Dr. Lucian. Not pictured, but every bit a part of this team: Katelynn, RDH, and Lauren, RDH. We missed you both!
And to our patients: thank you. Twenty years went by fast, and you’re the reason we get to do this. Thanks for trusting us.
– Dr. Romero
