our difference will make you smile

Our patient and Emmaus High School 11th grader, Sebastian Rivera has been busy doing more than just school work and hanging out with friends.  Sebastian has been trying to make a name for himself in the music industry. He has been playing guitar for two years and singing for seven!  Sebastian is currently playing at local places such as the Sterling Hotel and Brenda and Jerry’s as a pop/acoustic solo artist.  He is also looking to start a band.  To check out Sebastian’s music, go to:  www.myspace.com/sebastianriverarecordingartist.  By the way, Sebastian had his braces taken off May 12.  Great smile Sebastian!!

We visited the Ironton Elementary School, Ms Apgar’s 1st grade class  and spoke with the children about dental health.  Kathy and her furry friend Dudley did a wonderful job showing the students how to care for their teeth.  They eagerly look for our return next year!  Meanwhile, keep those smiles bright!

The Lehigh Valley’s Morning Call newspaper readers have chosen the FreySmiles orthodontic team for “best orthodontist” for the second year in a row.

It is such an honor to have our patients, past and present, take the time to register and vote. The staff and I love what we do every day, and love knowing we have so many satisfied families in the Lehigh Valley. Creating beautiful smiles for patients and their families for over 30 years has been such an amazing experience.

The staff and I want to send out a huge thank you to all our patients for your votes of approval and satisfaction.

I’ve added Google Friend Connect to the blog.  Now you can join the FreySmiles blog just like you can become a fan on the FreySmiles Facebook Page. All you have to do is sign in with your Google, AIM, or Yahoo account to get started. There is a Social Bar at the top where you can post comments and Youtube Videos, find other members and friend them, and view activity on the blog. Also I put a members widget in the sidebar, to show off our fans. Friend Connect is brand new so there might be a few bugs that Google needs to work out. I hope you all get a chance to try it out; I think it is pretty neat.

He was a first time winner in his dorm.  The other picture shows Brad proudly wearing his Harvard sweatshirt with his great smile.

Mmmm good- Blueberry Jam!

Another jar of blueberry jam. Thanks Haylee! Haylee and her mom brought my family a Christmas present. We just couldn’t wait to taste it – it was terrific! Over the years Haylee and her mom have been bringing in homemade jam to the office. The only requirement for more is to return the empty jar… which we gladly do. Look for Haylee on our “Celebrity Smiles” in the future. She has just had her “glam shot” taken by our photographer so now I can post her as our next Celebrity Smile!

More news from the Kubat family, Haylee’s brother is currently overseas with the US military. Hooah!

We have so many special patients in our orthodontic practice each day, and enjoy all of the special news and liveliness they bring.

Meet Alina!

She is so full of energy at all her orthodontic visits, and usually comes in with plenty of questions for me about her braces. She also must have an interest in neckties because she always checks out my tie for the day and lets me know if it is one of her favorites! I should probably check with this “necktie fashionista” the next time I am looking for new ties. Alina is a big fan of our Safari Smile Club prize wheel and tries to get us to let her spin it at all of her appointments even though it is reserved for patients who have not yet started their braces.

On December 17, 2008, Alina appeared before the Department of Homeland Security to attend a special ceremony and take the oath of Citizenship of the United States of America. As Alina puts it, “to become the Queen of America.” You can see the excitement on Alina’s face.

This date is important for her family since it is the exact date she was adopted four years ago. She now resides in New Jersey with her loving parents, Mr. and Mrs. Richard De Medina, and from what I have heard Alina is becoming quite the ballerina.

Welcome to the FreySmiles community. Our orthodontic team and I work very hard to make the orthodontic experience very special for all our patients at FreySmiles.  I have started this blog, which will eventually be incorporated into our main website, because I want to continue to connect with all of you, and give everyone a chance to communicate about their experiences in new ways. In the future there will be many more posts from the staff and I, and more features will gradually be built into the blog, but I am really looking forward to what all of you have to share. You can leave a comment here on the blog, or communicate with us on one of our other community sites found in the sidebars to the right.

Have fun!
