Hailey June VIP

Congrats to Hailey N. for being our June VIP!!

We celebrated with pizza at Rusty's with some of her friends and family.

Hailey, 2 sisters, and friend.

Just lovin the party and the pizza!

Hailey lives in Prescott Valley with her parents, 3 sisters, and 2 dogs: Sobie and Bella. She will be a freshman at Bradshaw Mountain High School this year. Hailey loves playing volleyball and basketball, which she has been playing since she was 8. She's hoping to play both of those sports for the Bears.

What a cutie!

Hailey also loves swimming and playing with her sisters in their backyard. Recently, she went on an amazing vacation to the Catalina Islands with her class at Liberty Traditional.

An upside down cheese?

Hailey's advice to others who are about to get braces: "It will ultimately pay off. It is going to hurt, a lot at times, but just remember that amazing SMILE that Dr. Patterson is giving you." When asked what she likes about Patterson Orthodontics, she says, "I really like how nice they are when you visit for your appointments."

"We're bustin outa here! Maybe...if we could ever reach the door handle..."

Well, Hailey, we really enjoy having you as our patient! And we really like how nice you are back to us! Keep smiling, gorgeous!

Holiday Hours

Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat
Please put a penny in the old man's hat.
If you haven't got a penny, a ha'penny will do.
If you haven't got a ha'penny then God bless you!

We've been listening to that song a lot at our house...the Muppet version. That whole Christmas album is fun! (Although, you can get a little tired of the Muppets 12 Days of Christmas if it's played 12 times in a row.) One of the best parts of Christmas is Christmas Vacation! Because that gives us more time to spend with our loved ones!

We are going to be closed from December 23 to January 2 to give our staff and doctor some time to spend with family. One of our staff will be on call, and the phone will be forwarded, so if one of our patients has a poking wire, give us a call.

Also, make sure to book your next appointment before December 23 or after January 2!

Merry Christmas! 

September VIP

CONGRATULATIONS to Alithea, our VIP Patient of the Month!

 

Alithea lives in Chino Valley with her dad, mom and amazing brother, Aaron.  Her family also includes six pets. Alithea attends Chino Valley High School and is a sophomore. Alithea loves school. This past summer she attended a six week program with Upward Bound at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. This six week program involved attending college classes that count towards college and high school credits. She also volunteers at her church for vacation Bible School and worked with the pre-school children over the summer. Alithea’s favorite color is Orange.  She loves the combination of purple and white. She absolutely hates pink!!!!

 

When asked, “What was the most exciting vacation you have taken?” her reply was,

“We were invited to my aunt’s condo in California along the beach. I watched dolphins and saw beautiful sunsets every night. I went to the beach, swam in the pool, walked and ate at the pier.

Alithea’s advice to brace wearers is, “Listen to Dr. Rob and everything will be fine and do everything he tells you about caring for your braces.”

When we asked Alithea what she likes about Patterson Orthodontics, her response was, “I always look forward to my next appointment. I love walking in and everybody knows who I am. The feeling in the air is always up-beat and fun, and knowing every time I walk in I am going to enjoy myself. Sometimes I wish my braces would never come off so  I could come forever!!!!"

Thank you Alithea…….You are a very special patient and you are always welcome to visit us...even when your braces come off!!!!!

Announcing...New Fall Contests!

Cooler weather, changing colors, longer evenings. 

It must be Fall! 

(Okay, we could do without the extra wind...)

Contest 1: Coloring Contest

It's also National Orthodontic Health Month!

To celebrate, we're having another coloring contest this year.

Just print this coloring page (click on it, then print it...or come by our office to pick it up), color to your heart's content, then submit it to our office...the sooner, the better! 

We're going to handle the judging a little differently this year.

Instead of us judging the entries, we'll let you judge them!

Starting October 20, we'll post all of the entries on our Facebook page.

Each entry will have its own post, so get all of your friends on FB to LIKE your entry.

The entry with the most LIKES on Facebook will win a $10 iTunes card!

(So those who have their coloring pages submitted by October 20 will have a better chance at getting more LIKES than those who submit them later.)

The Coloring Contest ends on Halloween.

Contest 2: Guess How Much the Pumpkin Weighs

Starting next Tuesday, we'll have a big-o pumpkin sittin in our office.

Each of our patients can submit their best guess of the thing.

The closest guess will win a prize!

The contest ends Nov 22.

And We Partied so Hearty!!

Patterson Orthodontics just celebrated our first annual Patient Appreciation Party last week at the Freedom Fun Station. It was a huge success! Nearly 200 patients, their families, and their guests came to the party. Dr. Rob had a blast interacting with the patients and raffling off all kinds of prizes.

Check out who won the big stuff:

Denae Dickman won the ipod shuffle

Austin McCauley won the BlueRay Disc player

Jackie Rowe won the $25 Harkins Gift Card

Congratulations!!

Several people won prizes for participating in our event contests:

Beat Dr. Rob's Miniature Golf Score of 46:  Austin Mariah: 31

Worst Miniature Golf Score: Hunter: 103

Highest Skeeball Score: Devoraha: 46,000

Highest Basketball Score: Andrew: 82

Most Rides on the Roller Coaster Simulator: Kimberly: 9 (Devoraha had 8 then Kimberly squeaked by with the final win)

Most Climbs on the Climbing Wall: Amber: 9

Congratulations to each of you, too!!

 The success of this party meant a lot to us. We opened our doors and treated our first patient in January 2010. Since then, we have steadily put braces on new faces, which has grown our practice to the point that we just wanted to say a big THANKS to each and every patient who has come to our office for their orthodontic care. We look forward to continued growth and the opportunity to celebrate our patients, too.

Summer Photo Contest

What have you been doing this summer? We would love to see what you've been up to and the places you've gone. So we're having a Summer Photo Contest!

All of the pictures entered into the contest will be displayed in a slide show at our Patient Appreciation Party on August 24. We'll also announce the winners that night! Yep...winners! We'll have lots of winners and a bunch of prizes, so flip through your best photos and get them to us right away! We're going to have Best Of categories and age categories...so you don't have to feel intimidated by competing with someone older than you.

Photo Dr. Rob took during the last big rain storm.

You can email them to us at pattersonortho@gmail.com or upload them on our Facebook page. Each patient can submit up to 5 photos. Hit us with your best shots!

April VIP

Congratulations, Jessica, for being our April VIP! 

 

We enjoyed celebrating your VIPness last Tuesday with Jessica and her friends and family.

Jessica lives in Prescott with her husband and 4 kids (4 kids? she looks way too young for 4 kids!). She works for Dr. Costes at Horizon Dental in Prescott Valley. She enjoys hiking, especially Thumb Butte. Her favorite vacation spot is Costa Rica because of the beautiful beaches and the delicious food (I sure don't blame her).

 The advice she would give to other brace wearers, "don't eat nuts." We agree! Also, when we asked her what she enjoys most when she visits Patterson Orthodontics, she said, "Seeing the Staff." And we enjoy seeing her and her great smile.

January/February VIP Par-tay!

This month, we did something a little different in selecting our VIPs. Yes. There are two of them! A father and his son...both in braces (along with two of his daughters). Meet Jason and Logan Stack. We had such a fun time at Streets of New York with the Stacks and their guests.

One thing I learned about the Stack family is that they live out in Coyote Springs and they have 7 horses. Their daughter, Taylor, is starting to learn how to do barrel racing with her horse, (Willow?). But mainly, they enjoy serving others with their horses by taking others on horse rides, especially those who are less fortunate.

November/December VIP

Congratulations Kendal!

Kendal is our November and December VIP (due to the holiday craziness and Dr. Patterson going out of town one specific weekend in November, we have yet to throw her a pizza party...but it will happen!). She is generally known as Mrs. Healey by her Kindergarten students at Acorn Montessori. She loves teaching and enjoys watching the kids progress throughout the year.

Kendal's advice to brace wearers, "You don't have to wear them forever and just imagine how great your teeth and smile will be when you are done!" She also enjoys visiting Patterson Orthodontics because, "the staff are the nicest I have ever experienced, friendly, and funny."

Thanks, Kendal, for being such a wonderful patient!

December Patient Contest!

This month, when you come in to visit us, whether for an appointment or just to say Hi, you can enter our Candy-counting contest. We have a large jar full of candy in our office. 

The person who guesses the number closest to the number of candies in the jar will win a $50 gift card! 

Just in time for Christmas! 

We will announce the winner on December 23 on our Facebook page!

June VIP

Tonight's VIP party was a P-A-R-T-Y! Congratulations, Jack, for being our Patient of the Month!

When we called Jack's mom to tell her that he was selected as this month's VIP, she told us the regrettable news that they are moving to Georgia! So we told them that they could invite a bunch of friends for a combined VIP/going away party. And we're sure glad they took us up on the offer! He invited several school friends and soccer buddies. This table is completely full of boys!

We're going to miss the whole family (we even saw his younger sister perform in Guys and Dolls a couple of months ago). They sure have been a great family to get to know.

Any patient can become a VIP. But we choose one awesome patient every month who meets certain criteria:

1. Always on time to appointments

2. Follows instructions (such as wearing rubber brands or adjusting an appliance)

3. Brushes and flosses teeth daily (Dr. Rob really can tell when you don't)

4. Visit your dentist regularly for check ups

Also, don't forget to enter to win Week 2 of our Refreshing Tumbler Contest. The chances of winning are high right now! So go for it!

A Winning Summer: iPad Contest

I am so excited to announce our biggest summer-long contest...the chance to win an iPad! Those things are sweet! They work just like an iPhone or iTouch, but they're bigger and more powerful...yet still smaller than a laptop so way easier to carry around. This contest goes from June 1 to September 1, so you have plenty of time to enter several times!

At Patterson Orthodontics, we consider the referral of a friend or a family member the highest compliment we can receive. We want to reward your confidence in us! So, how can you enter to win?

Contest rules (you are entered each time you complete any of the following):

1. Become one of our new patients.
2. Refer a friend who needs braces to Patterson Orthodontics. When they come in for their appointment, your name will be entered in the contest.
3. The friend starts treatment before September 1 and your name is entered again!
4. You can enter as often as you want! Just keep referring!
   Don't forget about our weekly Refreshing Tumbler Contest. We will draw the first winner(s) tomorrow morning. Anyone can enter, so check it out!
