Greetings!

What can I say?  

February is here and not necessarily in this order, it's totally time for Ground Hogs, Valentines, Presidents, and "To Leap or not to Leap?" (That is the question.) 

And hopefully, we're all still committed to those resolutions we made last month and one of 'em had better have been about being healthy in 2010.

Hope you guys will bear with us over here at TCDC while we implement some new systems this month; they're designed to help us provide the kind of service that will exceed your expectations.You'll be receiving cell phone calls, emails, and texts to follow up on the usual postcard appointment reminders (you choose what works best for you) and you'll hear a human voice answering calls way more often during lunch (12:30-1:30), 5:30-6:30 Monday thru Thursday, and even Friday-Sunday. 

And please don't hesitate with your feedback and that reminds me you'll also have an opportunity to fill out patient surveys to let us know how we can best serve you (Whew! That was a long sentence.)

This month, we'll keep you updated on our January-February Ladies' Days special; we'll also hit the USC Corner, introduce a new celebrity patient of the month, deliver a hopefully amusing Arcadia Weekly column by yours truly, dispense a cosmetic tip of the month, and (of course) pass along a few words of wisdom while we learn "What's up with Aunt Clara?" (Whew! That was a long paragraph.)

Yours truly,

Dr. V

Celebrity Patient Corner- Magic is in the air
 
saralee

SaraLee Steiner is an awesome student at renowned Poly of Pasadena, probably also leading the league in extracurricular activities, travel, community service, and chutzpah.  And SaraLee is already used to the Magic Castle lights and we'll now book extra time for each magical TCDC SaraLee visit.

 

You can see some of SaraLee's YouTube magic performed out and among 'em just down the street from the Magic Castle in Hollywood. 


SaraLee's parents are awesome folks who were actually referred to TCDC by one of my USC Dental School classmates.

 

If you're lucky, maybe you'll catch a SaraLee performance next trip into TCDC.

 

Oh, almost forgot, after a national tour of colleges, SaraLee hopes to be a USC Trojan in the fall.

Molar Jockey Memoirs!
book cover

In honor of Texas losing the BCS Championship at the Rose Bowl, I give you "You can't win 'em All" excerpt.
from Molar Jockey Memoirs.


"I'll begin by thanking all of the well-wishers out there who called in last Thursday (the day after the Rose Bowl Apocalpyse). I was really touched by your concern over how this old molar jockey was doing. It would have been way more depressing without the loving support of my Temple City Dental Care Squad who wore black all day; couldn't help but notice Singing Dental Assistant Kolleen and Dental Assistant "X" Dani keeping more of a watchful eye on me as I handled the usual assortment of sharp instruments."

Tip: 

Floss First (please)-It's great eating protein with vegetables but remember to floss out spinach between your teeth, then brush it all away with your tooth brush!

The what? I know. Let me explain.

Here's my Arcadia Weekly column on TMJ/headache-related stuff inspired by Fav Five patient and spin class instructor to the stars Pearl Fu (My weekly columns are published by Beacon Media News.)

USC Trojan Corner/A Better LA

salute Troy

You know, I'm still not over Coach Pete taking off to Seattle.  And I have to tell you, what with the shabby treatment of the basketball program and the non-existent leadership from Athletic Director Mike Garrett, my USC Trojan attitude presently stinks.  In fact, I'm even dropping my football tickets.


But...I still love A Better LA.  And if anyone out there has Colgate contacts please, let's connect.  Again, we're hoping to provide tray teeth whitening for ridiculously low fees year round and give all of the proceeds to A Better LA.  I sent a proposal almost two months ago and we're still waiting for a response.

What's Up with Aunt Clara?
 
aunt clara
Aunt C speaks again!
 

You know, maybe I should have Sicilian Aunt Clara put in call to Mike Garrett and Colgate and make 'em an offer they can't refuse?

 

But for now, let's talk about death by unsatisfied wants and I'm glad that the Snopes.com jury is still out on this one.

 

Since I was a little kid my Mom and Aunt Clara always cautioned me with, "Don't spinatti!"  In my world, "Spinatti" was death from not tasting something you really wanted.  My consistent response has always been, "No problem." 

 

big nightUntil I saw "Big Night," a movie starring Stanley Tucci and Tony Shaloub as Italian restaurant owner brothers named Primo (first) and Segundo (second.)  Shares Chef Shaloub in a moment of taste bud ecstasy, "...Lasagna Bolognese, one taste and you just have to kill yourself!"

 

That's nice...but I think I'll stick with "Don't spinatti!"

Ciao!

And Buon Capo d'Anno!
