Recently Roxana and Nariah went to a phlebotomy certification class. Roxana went for moral support for Nariah and to get a refresher. This was Nariah’s first-time certification.

We are starting to use platelet rich fibrin (PRF) for some our implant and surgical procedures. PRF derived from the patient’s blood and concentrated growth factors and immune factors to aid in healing.

A few test tubes of blood are collected and then spun in a centrifuge to separate the blood into layers. The fibrin layer is used as part of our wound dressing during surgery.

Two weeks ago in April, I attended a dental mission trip in Tejar, Guatemala. The goal for the clinic was to provide free extractions to persons who had failing teeth but no means of treating them. Drs. Tommy Murph and Gayle Fletcher are highly skilled at dental surgery and provided guidance and support to the doctors in the clinic.  Their efforts allowed approximately 480 people to be seen and treated in four days.

We have a renown Sleep Medicine expert and researcher in Sugar Land!

Happy Thanksgiving! So much to be thankful for! On wednesday before Thanksgiving we got together with our work family for the Thanksgiving warm up. We hope everyone had a great holiday!
