Dr.D organizes Fly Fishing Trip on the Upper Deschutes for July

What could scare fish more than a group of 15 dentists? In July, a fantastic clinician and wonderfully entertaining lecturer will be visiting Bend for a two-day Continuing Education Extravaganza. Bill Robbins will be sure to "wow" our local and over-the-mountain dentists the weekend of July 23. On Sunday, July 25, I'm organizing fly-fishing walk-in trip to the Upper-D for $150 each. Scott Cook at Fly & Field Outfitters will be hooking us up (pun intended) with all the gear and licenses, not to mention streamside lunch. As we say in Texas, "Hook 'Em!"

Give Kids a Smile in our office Friday, Feb 5th

Thanks to Vicki and all of those people behind the scenes, we will be providing free dental care ro local children for the 5th year in a row!  Typically we donate about 6 or 7 hours of our staff and doctor's time and roughly $4,000 worth of care.   A great cause with great people working together.

Happy New Year!

Here's to 2010 being a great year, and great start to the next decade! My youngest daughter Olivia turns 1 tomorrow, so it's already starting off good.

Dr. D lands his first Steelhead ! YeeHaw!
