"After quite a few years of shutting myself mentally and physically. .
. away from living a normal life because of such low self-esteem and
embarrassment this news is just unbelievable. I'm almost scared
to be happy but, of course, I'm THRILLED! I'm ready for this
change as I myself have made changes in the past 2 years not to be
completely defeated and this adds to my new life. It's what's
inside your heart that's important but I'm also going to say, its in a
smile also."

"I was faced with agonizing decisions regarding the conditions of my
teeth, my smile and my confidence. I am currently without
employment and am working toward rebuilding my life. After many
visits with Dr. Connally, he determined that the condition of my teeth
had declined to a point that was no longer repairable with simple
solutions. . . . I . . . received a call from Estelle stating
that she had found a benefactor that was willing to provide the funds
to allow me to receive the dental work that I needed. This
gracious and kind act was more than appreciated and words could not
possibly express my gratitude. . . . . I had this
procedure done last week and I am now going through the healing
stages. Although this is a very painful and slow process, I know
that the outcome will be life altering. I will approach the job
market with a renewed sense of self-esteem. I can stand tall and
my confidence is growing with every day."

"I want to say Thank You from the bottom of my heart for
helping my mother. Just as I thought I was losing hope on
receiving any help from my mom, I was told about this Clinic and I
brought my mother to apply. Thanks to this Clinic my mother was
able to receive medical attention and medicine that we weren't able to
afford. My mother has had 4 star treatment here and we will
forever be grateful."

"My only purpose in writing this letter is to commend
both you and your staff for outstanding “user friendly”
manner of carrying out their duties in the intake clinic
at your facility at
301 Hamilton Street.
"Last Wednesday when I went to your
Clinic the very first
time, I entered with misgivings and a certain amount of
dread of being insulted and maltreated. I am both legally blind and seriously
handicapped. Such
people are frequently shunned and or rudely treated.
"However,
I am sending you this message to let you know that no
such thing did happen. In fact, I was treated with warm, friendly smiles
and careful, careful attention to the fact that such
ordinary procedures as filling out forms or finding my
way around are difficult for me.
"It is my
opinion that caring attitude and helpful ways of your
staff speak well not only for them, but also for you. I am certain that you yourself selected and
trained your staff to be a part of what could be called
a “user friendly” service.
"I would
like to make special mention of a dear lady at the desk
in the intake room, who summed up this
attitude succinctly, by telling me “I am only treating
you the way that I hope someone else will treat my own
mother if she is ever in your position.”

"People don’t see me for the person I am. They always judge
me first by my appearance – A face with a missing tooth in front.
First thing people do is smile, children don’t know better they
just point. ha. …. I am looking forward to my next appointment…because
I know I will be feeling more confidence in myself and have a better
future without having to feel embarrassed about my appearance…. My
life now will be happier. Thank God."

"I would like to thank everyone at San Jose dental clinic for
all the help I received there. Everyone was very friendly and
professional. This has helped me so much with my self- esteem. You
do a great service for people that are having a hard time getting
dental work done. It will help me to smile, something I haven’t
been able to do. Thanks so much. God bless all of you."

"I would like to thank each and every one of you who
contributed to my beautiful smile. My teeth began to fall out one by
one every time I became pregnant--to which I am the mother of
five beautiful children…. Most of the teeth missing were in the
front which left me with a toothless side grin…. I can’t tell you
enough how happy I am- my partials (dentures) are beautiful, my
smile is perfect and I am no longer ashamed of my smile. I can now
enjoy all of the foods I had once given up because there were no
teeth. I want to thank (you) for giving me back a part of me."

From an ESL student, "I want to tell you thanks for all the
help that you gave me through this clinic without you I don’t have
any other doctor to see."
