Something that has become more popular with each passing year, especially for very busy professionals, is to have a professional shopper take care of gift buying process. Although this is a definite convenience, it can take some of charm out of process of shopping.

Another option is to utilize services of store owners such as myself. After numerous requests by people who are extremely busy to help them pick out perfect gift for someone special, I found it to be an added convenience to my customers to develop a shopping program that allows for their individual tastes and yet, takes stress out of wrapping and shipping gifts. That is how my corporate services division was born.

Shopping online has become very popular over last few years. A few tips that will save you unnecessary problems when shopping online are to know who you are dealing with. It is very easy to confuse a legitimate site with one that is set up merely to dupe consumers. Do not give out your personal information such as Social Security number, mother’s maiden name, PIN Numbers or passwords to anyone over Internet. There is no reason for this.

When ordering online, check delivery dates and review warranties. Keep all receipts and website printouts. You will also want to check shipping and handling fees and ask enough questions to determine if there are any hidden fees.

My goal in writing this article is to help you to have most enjoyable holiday season possible. As I mentioned earlier, I can certainly help you with your online or over phone shopping requests. And yet, I do hope for those of you who will be in Myrtle Creek, Oregon area, you will drop in for a visit and enjoy huge selection of bears and gifts we make available to our guests.

When Teresa decided to invest in her smile makeover, Dr. Kiser showed her how to make it possible. He helped her to figure out best way to move forward and help her fulfill her dream. Not only did Dr. Kiser address all of Teresa’s questions and concerns about her dental care, he showed her that with a good plan, her dream of a beautiful smile was well within reach.

As with many accomplishments in Teresa’s life, she had to develop a plan of action to determine how to afford what she wanted. One of first things she did was to prioritize. First, she determined where she could cut spending. Secondly, she participated in Wells Fargo Healthcare Spending Account. The program allows for having a portion of one’s paycheck put aside for various healthcare costs. Depending on program, monies can be used for vision, medical and/or dental fees. These programs allow you to set aside a specific pretax dollar amount to be used for unreimbursed healthcare expenses. Many employers now offer healthcare spending programs in their employee benefit packages.

“If someone thinks they can’t afford it they need to ask themselves if they really can afford not to do it. It can change someone’s life in ways they never dreamed possible,” beams Teresa. “There are always ways to figure out how to afford something if it becomes a great enough priority.”

Teresa will be first to tell you that once she made decision to move forward, things seemed to magically fall into place. She will also tell anyone who wants to know that her Smile Makeover is one of best investments she ever made.

As she suspected, once she had an improved smile, her confidence rose incredibly. She found she was more willing to smile when talking to people and any insecurity she had about what people thought of her smile completely disappeared. She also found her confidence when speaking to groups greatly increased.

Teresa has been so pleased with her results she always refers people to Dr. Kiser. Many of Teresa and Tom Bock’s friends are patients of Dr. Kiser.

Although she didn’t always realize importance of a great dental care provider, today she will be first to admit you have to find someone you can trust. Someone who really cares about their patients and won’t rush through an appointment.

“When I visit Dr. Kiser I feel like I am only person that matters. And when it comes to my dental care, that’s way it should be. I didn’t always believe that but today I know I deserve that kind of treatment.”

Teresa also appreciates commitment and care of Smiles Dentistry staff. Teresa knows their staff is best around. With state of art equipment and décor that is extremely pleasing, she knows investment Dr. Kiser has made to create an atmosphere that will be appreciated by even most discriminating tastes.

“They really care about each patient. The first encounter one has is with Vicki. Whether they meet Vicki over phone or in front office, it is an incredibly positive experience. Complimented by Vicki’s “can do” attitude is an overall atmosphere that is beyond compare.”

“There are people in my life who never knew me before I had my smile makeover. Shock is often response I get when they look at before and after pictures. Just to see their reaction makes me realize how great an investment Dr. Kiser’s work has been. Without a doubt, it is one of best investments I have ever made. I will reap benefits for years to come.
