Almost a year ago to the day, I was hospitalized for an unknown illness that many doctors and specialists could not identify. As my health deteriorated daily, the medical staff informed my wife and family I would probably not be going home again! But after many weeks in the hospital, the situation started changing towards the positive. All the prayers and well-wishes from so many were heard and miraculously, my body started to respond to the treatments. With a lot of rehab and therapy I made it to where I am today.
You are probably asking yourself, “What does all this have to do with Dr. Kurt Doolin” and I am happy to explain.
After my discharge from the hospital I had to be taught all over again the simple, everyday activities we all take for granted such as eating, walking, dressing, bathing, etc. I had lost my self-worth, confidence and did not know if I would ever be myself again. I looked and felt older than my years and with my teeth decayed from all the meds, I did not have a lot to smile about.
However, as soon as I was able, I met with Dr. Doolin to discuss my teeth and what we could do to start the repair process. Doc took a lot of time to evaluate my situation, he explained everything in detail and made sure I understood all my options. A few days later the decision was made to go with veneers.
My wife Mary and I have known Dr. Doolin and his staff well over 15 years (since our transfer from Canada) and during this time, we have developed a great relationship with everyone at Rochester Advanced Dentistry. They are professional, competent, friendly, compassionate, caring , supportive, sensitive to your every need, and able to “fit you in”an emergency situation at a moment’s notice. They truly make you feel like you are special!
A couple weeks ago my veneers were mounted and I have not been able to stop smiling. I feel alive again! I cannot believe the transformation that has taken place within me. This procedure has done so much for my confidence and attitude that everyone I meet cannot believe the progress.
I cannot express enough or put into words how truly blessed I am to have Doc on my team. Without him I would not be ME again!
You see, “My Heavenly Father” gave me another chance at life but my “Earthly Brother” nurtured it along.
Thanks doc for helping me transition back into the land of the living and for all that you have done for me.
I love my new smile and I plan on living every moment!
I now dedicate every day of my life to my beautiful, loving and caring wife Mary who never gave up on me and stayed at my bedside day and night. She hounded all the doctors, nurses and hospital staff and her devotion to me refused to just let me die. I know this may sound corny but it is true that one night God spoke to me and said he did not want me yet. The very day I was on my way to recovery.
As I stated earlier, Dr. Doolin and his great staff played a huge part in my transfer from death to a long life with Mary, who I love dearly and would do anything for. She is really more than I ever dreamed of or ever deserved.
