Lasting Relationships

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

I recently cleaned the teeth of a patient I have known for years.

As he stood up he asked me, “How long have we been together?” I laughed, as this patient has been with me since I started practicing, 19 years ago.

“Quite a while.” I answered.

Through the years I have been privileged to know many patients far beyond their dental health. We have shared life happenings, fun stories and have developed a deep sense of trust. It is that trust that allows me to help my patients choose the dental work they feel is best for them.

That is why I have been with this practice for 13 years- it has allowed me to develop and maintain lasting relationships.

Looking back at my patient, “Quite a while…” I answered- …”longer than either of our marriages!” We both laughed.

A Great Place To Work

Monday, January 28th, 2008

I feel fortunate working at Donaldson & Guenther. From the time I interviewed I knew things were different. The staff interviewed me, which I thought was pretty cool. “This doctor actually cares about the team’s opinions!” It makes sense if they’re the ones who have to work with me.

As a result, we work well together. As I started with the practice, I realized it was the organized protocol that allows me to focus on providing excellence. I thought the doctor I worked for previously did good work until I saw the quality of work at Donaldson & Guenther.

My reward is when patients look in the mirror at the end of their appointment and all they can say is “Wow”. This is what puts us above the rest and I am honored to be a part of making that happen!

I left with the best job done!

Dr. Donaldson
Thanks for taking the time to get my crowns all squared away today. I know how easy it would have been to do an “ok” job. It is reassuring to me that when I come in to see you or any of your staff, I leave with the best possible job done! I wish I didn’t need any work done but since I do, I’m happy you’re all there! Bless you all!

The dentist thought the crown was real

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

Mary Weiss writes in a comment:

Dr. Kris; I just wanted you to know that when I moved to Sedona and went to a new dentist, he cataloged all the crowns in my mouth. When I saw the list, I had to add one they had not detected — my front incisor, that fractured and you crowned so many years ago! They thought it was real!!! Having read your notes on porcelain, I can’t help but wonder if you were using some of the newer techniques on me. I am certain, however, that my crown is an almost perfect copy of my original tooth. Thank you, and I miss you!

Feels Like Family

Monday, September 17th, 2007

I have been seeing Dr. Donaldson and Hygienist, Mary Palawski for a number of years. From the moment of my initial consultation with Dr. D to my initial cleaning with Mary, I have been thrilled with not only how they worked with me to get my teeth & gums back into great healthy shape, but I prefer to use natural alternative products, such as no fluoride, and they have always listened to my requests and carried out them to the best of their ability. They are also very knowledgeable about the latest technology and share their ideas with their patients to help give them a few alternatives. The office is a very friendly environment and you always feel like “family”. I openly recommend Dr. Donaldson’s office to all my co-workers and friends. They love their jobs!
