This is Chris Redgrave for Zions Bank Speaking on Business.
It doesn't seem possible — yet it's true ... Despite the enormous availability of dentists in Utah, only 50 percent of people see a dentist regularly .... This is a concern since dental care is so tied with your overall health. Researchers have found advanced dental disease is linked with health problems, like cardiovascular disease, stroke and bacterial pneumonia. At Corner Cove Dental, Dr. Drew Theurer (tire) is trying to change that.
Corner Cove Dental is in Draper, right on Fort Street, and the focus here is on patients.... That means they schedule enough time for visits so patients can address any concerns they may have, without running into anyone else's appointment. This goes against the latest trend in medicine, which is to pack schedules as tightly as possible so a doctor can see as many patients as they can in one day...Not at Corner Cove Dental... Drew takes exactly the opposite approach.
Corner Cove Dental also has a no-wait policy, which means you should expect to be seen at exactly the time you're supposed to be seen. So ten o'clock means ten o'clock. You won't be spending more than five minutes in the waiting room.
Dr. Drew has first-hand experience of what it's like to be a dental patient since he needed a lot of work done when he was younger.. It's those memories that motivate him to make sure his patients at Corner Cove Dental receive the best possible care and comfort while in his office.... He's a second generation dentist and learned about his profession from a young age, while he helped in his dad's office. He also has two brothers in the profession and enjoys the network of family support so they can bounce ideas off each other.
Drew feels communication is essential, so he's constantly talking with his staff about patient needs and concerns ... He's a general dentist so he offers comprehensive care at Corner Cove Dental ... And he's developed a team of specialists so if something is beyond his expertise, he can refer the patient out to the team.
For Zions Bank, I'm Chris Redgrave, speaking on business.
