In building Oxford Family Dental my Vision has been “To provide the best dental experience”.
Our Mission is:
- To work together to provide a welcoming and respectful environment
- To utilize the most contemporary technologies to provide the highest quality oral health care
- To educate, encourage, and empower our patients to assist them in making the best decisions for their oral health
We developed our Vision and Mission thru recognizing “how do we like to be treated when we are patients/clients of other professionals”. That includes clinically and also administration wise. We want to work with our patients to achieve optimal results in all facets.
WE ARE COMMITTED TO THIS STANDARD
In order to provide the highest level care we keep up with the latest technologies and I personally put emphasis on high level continuing education.
