Dental Assistant Appreciation Week

Our offices had a great time celebrating the amazing dental assistants who keep everything running smoothly! Each location showed their appreciation with delicious food, thoughtful gifts, and plenty of smiles. From keeping procedures running like clockwork to making patients feel comfortable and cared for, our assistants truly do it all. Thank you for your hard work, positivity, and the energy you bring to the team every day—we appreciate you! 🦷🎉👏

Happy Birthday, Dr. East!

Thank you for being an amazing surgeon and a great leader and friend here at GPS Dana Point and NCOFS. We look up to you—not just because those cowboy boots give you a little extra lift—but because of the great guy you are. Wishing you a fantastic birthday, and we look forward to celebrating many more with you in the years to come! 🤠🎂

"Show Up TODAY" a Message from Dr. Baker

We can only control what we can control. What matters most isn’t whether we win or lose, but how we show up each day. Our core values of Servant Leadership and Passionate Discontent drive us to keep striving for improvement and growth. In this video, Dr. Baker shares a personal story about his son, West—their struggles, victories, and the lessons learned along the way—and how it all ties back to the mindset of showing up and continuing to grow.
