For Sitzmann and Wilson, the joy in working with Wynn comes not only from seeing her practices built well and run smoothly. “Dr. Wynn and Tony do something that is very rare. They reward not only their staff members but also their Patterson family,” Sitzmann said. “When they invited me and Leslie to their first annual Christmas party, where they celebrated their accomplishments over the previous year, I was truly honored to be considered part of their family team.”

Wynn explained why she feels it’s important for her relationship with her Patterson team to be about more than business. “We have to give special credit to Leslie and Stan for their dedication to promote, protect and support the goals, purposes and interests of Wynn Dental Care and our team,” Wynn said. “Our business relationship is based on a mutual respect and a win-win mindset for both parties. It’s not about making a commission or getting the cheapest product or equipment.”

Each year, Wynn provides special recognition to her staff members and, in 2010, presented an award to Wilson for her support and contribution to the success of Wynn Dental Care. The award, said Wynn, recognizes an individual who makes a difference in the lives of others. “The person who receives this award believes in growing others and that results in a life-changing commitment.”

“Dr. Wynn introduces me to others as one of her business partners, which makes me feel great,” Wilson said. “I know she relies on me to be sure the inventory is under control and on budget, and she knows I have her best interests at heart.”
