I trained as an Animal Health Technician and I met Bob at University of Western Ontario while he was taking his ortho course. We tied the knot in Ontario and moved to Saskatoon for a year while he taught at the U of S and practiced in an ortho office. I worked at the University in the animal health dept. A year later we moved to Red Deer, and I became Bob's receptionist. I left the practice to be a stay at home mom, which was way more fun! I've been back and forth as staff changes and my help is needed. It is thrilling to see the faces of our patients as their teeth transform into beautiful smiles. Throughout their treatment confidence grows, their personalities brighten and most are pleased they were able to proceed with treatment.
