For kids, going to the dentist isn't always fun, but one dentist
has found a way around that situation. Meet Brooke, a four year old Golden
Retriever.
Pediatric Dentist Doctor Paul Weiss has been bringing Brooke
to work with him twice a week for about six months now. His patients just love
her.
Every Thursday morning, patients are greeted with a warm and
fuzzy reception when they arrive for their visits at Dr. Paul Weiss' pediatric
dental office in Williamsville, USA. The newest staff member, Brooke, a
four-year-old Golden Retriever, is using her talents as a certified therapy dog
(certified by Therapy Dogs International) to interact with and entertain
patients and their families.
She works the reception area with her handler, offering and
receiving lots of affection and hugs and occasionally chasing down her favorite
ball.
Her calm and gentle demeanor, friendliness to strangers and receptiveness
to physical contact make her the perfect addition to the playful child-oriented
surroundings of the office. The match between Brooke and the patients seems perfect.
As a Golden Retriever, her primary purpose in life is to please those around
her. She gets the love that she needs and she can help take the child's and
parents' mind off their fears.
Like all therapy dogs, Brooke was required to pass a
rigorous training program and evaluation. She mastered basic obedience and
proved she is able to accept common medical appliances, clumsy handling
(petting) and various distractions. Therapy dogs have been shown to ease
tensions, lower blood pressure and increase positive attitudes. Traditionally,
their services are utilized in hospitals, schools, and retirement homes.
Knowing Brooke's temperament, Dr. Paul recognized an
opportunity to offer another source of comfort to his patients and increased
relaxation to the office atmosphere. Brooke has become a celebrity with
patients, who now make it a point to schedule their appointments on Thursday,
now known as "Brooke Day."
I came to this dentist after recommendation from another dentist, whom i had been seeing for 10 years. I have found dentist Manhattan Beach very kind, knowledgeable, and compassionate.
ReplyDeleteRegardless of the kind of reputation a particular pediatrician holds, a person must do the needful as far as checking the background is concerned. This does not mean that an individual must get on with a spy job. It means, one must check the basic details like qualification, Pediatric Urgent Care Totowa
