As we approach the summer months, many of our patients and their families are planning activities and/or are taking vacations. This summer we are having a photo contest in the office. Take a photo of you with ‘Flat Humphries’ on your vacation or summertime activity and post it to our Humphries Orthodontics Facebook page. The ‘Flat Humphries’ will be available in each orthodontic office for anyone who chooses to participate. The patient with the photo that has the most likes will win an iPad. So, don’t forget to take us with you!

The second annual Humphries Orthodontics Patient Appreciation Day is in the books. The event ran quite smoothly and it appeared as though the guests all had a great time. I am proud to announce that we served over 500 burgers and over 250 photos were taken in the Joyfully Yours photo booth.

I would like to thank our wonderful entertainment. The line was full all day long for the balloon twister Gabriel Newton, Color Me Face Painting, and the Joyfully Yours photo booth. Gabriel’s balloon twisting was amazing. I cannot believe the balloon art that he was churning out. I saw one patient leave with a ninja the size of my son. Vanessa’s face painting was so popular that many of the adults found them self getting in on the fun. The energy in the photo booth was amazing. I had a great time looking through some of the pictures from the event on the Joyfully Yours Facebook photo gallery. Feel free to take a look or download yours!

I would like to give a special thank you to our prodigious youth talent, Tyler the magician and singer/songwriter Aly Ashford. You can download Aly’s EP Forever Young on the iTunes store. I have no doubt that we will see great things from both of them as time ensues.

Finally, I would like to thank everyone who attended this year’s Patient Appreciation Day. This is the second consecutive year that we have hosted the event and we are very pleased with how it has been received. We feel as though the event improved dramatically between the first and second year and we are all very excited to see what next year brings. Thank you to all of our patients who have entrusted us to take part in their oral health care!
