Dear Dr. Fleming
We wanted to thank you and the team who was with Melody during her dental procedure. We know that the circumstances were very stressful and that everyone had to move quickly, make fast decisions,  all the while monitoring her carefully.
We not only had her back with us that evening, but it was as if she had spent the day with friends – good appetite, same demeanor, no signs of discomfort – She doesn’t know how many people worried and worked in her best interests that day.
But we do!  Thanks so much to all of you.
 Sincerely,
Tracie and Patrick
