We're here for you. You know, it's not you're calling this, you know, corporate office. You don't know who to talk to, you don't know where to turn. We're always here. And our staff especially is so fantastic in terms of education and inviting the patient in and listening to their story because every story is different. And it's about how the, you know, broken tooth or dental pain affected that individual. And I think once they get into the office, once they come in, they realize this is the place for them. We ensure that patients are taken care of from A-Z. So if a patient walks through the door and they ask, what can you do for me? I'll give you your teeth back. I'll get you your teeth. I'll give you a beautiful smile and you can't lose sight of like functionality because that's truly, I think at the heart of what a lot of patients miss is being able to bite into a hamburger, a steak, enjoy life, go out with friends again and being able to take them from, you know, A-Z and give them that final result is fantastic. Patients kind of, I think they find solace. They find kind of, they feel reassured to know that they're going to go through this massive life change and they've got somebody who's got their back the entire way through it. And you know, I guarantee my work.
