Community education and contributions are two very important aspects within our practice. We are proud to take an active role in the community and with the sense of 'home' we have tied to Waukee being the neighborhoods and schools that both doctors grew up in building friendships, receiving educations, and later raising their own families in as well we are certainly pleased to be involved however we can help or give back.

In February, Dr. Tina spent time with Walnut Hills Elementary for Dental Health Month educating the third grade class on the importance of good oral hygiene, many different donations are made to the schools and other various community outlets, & in July we will be sponsoring a blood drive with the LifeServe Blood Center Bloodmobile at our office. Sometimes those fingers of philanthropy reach beyond our western suburb walls too....Dr. Lisa and Dr. Tina both volunteer their time providing free dental care to elementary children for a day with the Mobile Smile Squad Clinic in Des Moines & Dr Lisa recently made a generous donation to the American Diabetes Association: Tour de Cure.

Not only is it important to us as dental professionals to take an active role as leaders in our community but, we are THRILLED when we see our patients join us and rise up as well! Here are a few pictures and descriptions of active community members we were pleased to help make their efforts successful too!


 Linda Abendroth, of Adel, supports the local Ronald McDonald House in Des Moines and provided them with our donation of toothbrushes and toothpaste.
 Randy Collier, of Waukee, traveled on a mission trip to Africa taking our donation of toothbrushes and toothpaste with him, providing oral health supplies to rural villages.
Mike Everitt, of Urbandale, enthusiastically took our doantion of an electric toothbrush to the Waukee Dollars for Scholars Silent Auction.


What an amazing group of individuals we are proud to partner with and look forward to continued community contributions.
