Funny, just last week, a patient was commenting about all of the changes in the office since the sale. I said, you've been coming to see me forever, how long has it been? She replied she remembered when I first joined the practice 36 years ago...
I was shocked, as I had no idea I still had patients from that long ago (as my patients tend to skew to an older demographic)...
I think she's officially my longest continual patient... Mind blown...

When I joined my uncle in dental practice in 1977 ( practice started by my grandfather in 1925) we had a few of Grampa's patients still around. Every day I heard "you look too young to be a dentist". One lady actually jumped out of the chair, pinned herself against the wall and said "you can't be my dentist, you're just a little boy."...One day I realized that it had been quite some time since I'd heard I looked too young to be a dentist, and then one day a patient looked at me and said "Oh my God! You're still here?"...
My career in one paragraph.
