Happy Birthday To Us!!!

Today we celebrate our FIRST YEAR anniversary. Yay!! During these tough economic times, our dental practice has managed to grow quickly. We thank our terrific patients who have spread the word and has gotten us tons of referral patients. We thank the many specialists we work with. And last but definitely not least, I thank my dedicated and wonderful staff, without whom I could have never pulled this off and with whom we strive to provide the best dental care possible on a daily basis. We took a really long lunch today to celebrate and went to Royal Kabob in Hawthorne. Mmmm. Terrific kabobs. Why so far you ask? It happens to be the choice of my staff, particularly of Aaliya, one of my assistants. As I said, the food was great and we all had a good time. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!!!

6-month anniversary

Well we made it to our first six months. Usually that really isn't anything to crow about except that if you look at the current economic environment, there's bad news everywhere you look. Banks are failing and needing a bailout. The auto industry is needing a bailout. The stock market is tanking every day it seems like. Heck even our state government is needing a bailout. However, our little enterprise that we opened 6 months ago is thriving. Oh don't get me wrong, it's been really hard work growing the patient pool...but it IS growing. And so in light of the present economic crisis, I'm happy to say, we're doing fine and come on in and see us for all your oral health care needs.

The Doors Are Open!

So here it is. After getting a space leased, getting the dental clinic built (thank you T.I Specialists), purchasing and installing dental equipment, and getting the whole place furnished, my dental clinic is finally finished. Then came hiring my staff and testing all the new equipment - no small task due to the fact that the clinic is 100% digital. This is going to be as close to paperless as a dental office can be. Too many details to even mention. But the most important detail is that everything is done and we see our first official patient tomorrow. I am so excited! So everyone please come visit me at 11500 W. Olympic Blvd. Suite 326. Check out my official website at lisakederian.com. If you need dental care, please call Angie at (424)901-0701 and set up an appointment. We will gladly take care of you. See you soon!

Learning Patience

Well the lease to my dental space has finally been signed. We chose the space at 11500 W. Olympic Blvd. in West LA, near the corner of Sepulveda and Olympic. It only took a couple of months to get the whole thing done. So much I have learned over these past few months, almost all about business and becoming an entrepreneur. The biggest lesson I learned? Delegate the stuff you don't understand to those who do and work with professionals. Even looking over the lease papers would have cost us a lot of money in the long run had we not had a lawyer "on our side" reviewing every word on a 50-page document and making sure our best interests were covered. So what's next. Construction. Target opening date of the practice? August 1st. Seems so far away. Seems like it's tomorrow too.
