The construction process took only four months, during which time Pinero kept in close contact with her Patterson team. She said, “Ileana and Eddie helped me find the best way to place the equipment and make sure it all worked right.”

Since the move in July 2014, Pinero says her production has almost doubled. She also thinks her patients feel more confident and comfortable in the new setting.

“Everyone loves it,” Pinero said. “The first person we saw in our new office had been a patient for a very long time. We didn’t even have a sign out front yet. So he walked in and said, ‘Did I come to the wrong place? Is this really a spa?’ I think our patients deserve the best and I tell them that.”

From her new space, Pinero is not only giving her patients the best treatment; she’s enriching their lives. “My sole purpose in life is to touch people’s lives, to make them better in some way, and dentistry is the way I choose to do it.” PT
