As we roll into August, we at Dr. McVey's dental practice are not just excited about the sunny weather. We are thrilled to take a pause from our busy schedules, put down our dental tools, and celebrate two special members of our dental family – Emelia Gonzalez and Kelli Casey. In this blog post, we’re celebrating our dental team’s birthdays.
You'll get a sneak peek into Emelia and Kelli's personal reflections, aspirations, and their unique takes on the age-old debate – should everyone get their birthday off from work or school? So, pull up a chair, grab a slice of (preferably lemon or frosting-free chocolate) cake, and join us in celebrating our dental team's birthdays!
