Hey, I'm Doctor Krost and welcome to COMS. I actually think that every day brings adventure and you may do the same procedures, but every patient is different. Every patient's medical history is different. Every patient's families, their needs and their wants. So I think every day is a pivotal moment in your life that you grow with. From the experiences of seeing all these patients. Over 33 years, we've grown from a two office to now, six offices and seven docs, almost 100 people that work for us. And, you know, it's gotten bigger, but we try to keep it family oriented. We try to keep it believing in the people and working with people. And it's worked. I want comms to be known for community, for trusting us and trusting the care we give and the commitment we give to the communities, and giving the best care possible, the best treatment possible, and the best personal services that we can possibly have. Reputation is everything, and over 32 years I think I've created friendships. I've created relationships with dentists, with families. I'm on my third generation of treating families now, which I'm not sure if I'm happier, not happy, but it's a great it's a great feeling. It's a great feeling to get the repeat performances because that just shows that you've done right, you're doing right, and you will continue to do right.
