The following is a poem was written by one of our patients:
Thank you to my Dentist
Who's cheerful and is kind
Thank you to my Dentist
Who keeps my health in mind
Thank you to my Dentist
Who goes the extra mile
Who saves my teeth
What's left of them
And keeps me with a smile

The 2011 Wilmington ALS walk was a huge success! With a goal of $85,000, our 2011 Wilmington Walk to Defeat ALS has raised $136,048.36!!!!! Literally, donations are still coming in online and teams have already done an amazing job reaching out on their Facebook pages and through their participant centers to let people know there is still time to fundraise! Pictured at left are two of our patients the day of the walk.
