| - I had to take a friend to have an evening dental procedure done at Pima Dental yesterday. I was first impressed that an office would stay open late to accommodate patients who are unable to come in during the day. As it was going to be a couple of hours for the procedures to be done, I'd already planned to stay up there and just read, or draw. When we got there I was pleasantly surprised to find that their waiting room comes with satellite tv and a bunch of channels to be able to keep up with the world while my friend "went under". As I'm currently in the process of packing care packages to send to military in Afghanistan I went up to the front desk, where Dr. Schwartz was talking to my friend (pre-procedure) and asked him if he knew of a dental supply place that would offer toothbrushes/toothpaste to soldiers so I could send it over. I didn't expect anything from Dr. Schwartz. The man doesn't know me at all. But he walked into the back and came back with THREE BOXES of toothpaste to send over to the soldiers. SERIOUSLY! Who does that? Apparently, Dr. Schwartz does. People may say, "Well he gets that stuff free." First off, dentists have to pay for the toothbrushes these days, but regardless if he got the toothpaste free or not, he didn't have to give them to me. He could have just said, "No, I'm sorry, I don't know." But he didn't. He went back and took a bunch of his stock and gave it to me to ship over to the heroes from our country serving somewhere else. If I didn't already have a dentist I love (and nearer to me), I'd be signing up to have Dr. Schwartz be my dentist. Not just because of his selfless gift, but also my friend - an admitted chicken when it comes to dentists - COMPLETELY trusts this man and his staff. Speaking of, his front desk receptionist is an absolute doll. I was extremely impressed by my visit to Pima Dental.
