z "The overall experience with Dr. Kakos was great. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly, to say the least. Personally I like the integration of technology in the office, including text confirmation alerts and emails to keep the customer informed. I have attended this office for my entire life and I know that now my wife and family will be attending, too!" Matthew "Dr. Kakos and her staff are amazing. I love going there. They are very friendly and treat everyone like they are friends. I can't imagine going anywhere else:' Karie "You brought my smile back! I'm so thankful for your remarkable talent! The results were greater than what I expected:' James it's all related. "I love my job, and I have the best of both worlds as a dentist and a mother. If not for my family's help with the children, I wouldn't be where I am today. Family sup- port is so huge. "Truly, I look at practicing dentistry as a gift God has given to me," Dr. Kakos says. "I am so blessed. I'm here to serve others and help them." In that spirit, Dr. Kakos volun- teers her time to dental organiza- tions like Donated Dental, Dentistry from the Heart and other chari- table groups. She offers payments plans to patients because she knows dental challenges are often unanticipated. And she offers free athletic mouthpieces to student athletes at schools in areas sur- rounding her offices. "It is a rewarding time to be a dentist," she says. "There is almost always a worthy solution for a dental problem, thanks to so many new advancements." Though certainly attuned to these advancements, Dr. Kakos maintains the kind of patient-cen- tered service that harkens back to when the practice was established more than 50 years ago. "We have a legacy of patients — four generations who have been with this practice," she says. "We may not family, but it sure feels like one!"
