More Smiles Dental Spa Dentistry Blog | James A. Moreau, Jr., D.D.S.

While I wouldn't trade a single one of our current Dream Team members, I have to brag a little on some of our "children" that we helped raise up in dentistry and then sent them on their way in the world. :-)

One of our former assistants, Lori (some of you will certainly remember her), was in recently, and I'm so proud to say that she is using her knowledge and expertise in dentistry to start her own practice management consulting company. She is proficient in every aspect of dentistry and is a trainer for the Dentrix software used by so many of the top-notch dental practices. She even has a speaking engagement coming up at a regional dental meeting this summer. We had lost touch with her for several years when she moved away, but were so happy to see her again when she moved back and came to look us up. We enjoy seeing her on a regular basis now.

And when I think of Lori, another former employee comes to mind who's gone on to dental greatness - Leah (Lia). Remember her? She was our first hygienist back in the old days in our old office. She worked for us for 7 years, doing the reverse commute from Metairie to the Northshore every day. Today, Lia has helped her dentist/husband build a very successful practice in the CBD, and like me, balances the practice management with raising a family.
