Another scenario, same doctor; A new community center is coming to town. They offer better service, have a larger staff, and can fit you in for your appointments a whole lot quicker.

One more; A local company has been around for 40 years, and offers some of highest salaries in area. It is an excellent niche market; electical connectors! With technology developing way it is, it only makes sense that this means more work for these people!
