She started with my Dad and my Uncle Tony when she was 20 years old. My brother Ted was 6, and I was born just a few months later. 46 years later we celebrate all she has accomplished.

She’s worked for all four us, and has always shown up and given us and her patients her very best. Quick with a smile and joyful sense of humor, she could brighten any room… even a dental operatory.

Shes cleaned a lot of teeth, to be sure. But really thats just the surface level. She made a direct impact on the lives of so many, encouraging people to develop and maintain healthy habits, and encouraging patients to value their oral and overall health and well-being. I think she was good at this because when she talked to you, you couldn’t help but know that SHE valued YOU.

But even more that all of this, during these 46 years, Kathy got married to her loving husband Larry, had five children Barry, Kyle, Luke, Lane, and Lauren, watched them grow and get married, and now has 20 grandchildren!

Kathy Holsworth, it’s been a blessing and privilege. Thank you.

We’ve got you for one more week, but then it’s time for a new beginning! Go enjoy that beautiful family!

So what kind of flowers do you get for someone who has been working for your family for 45 years straight?!?!?

Maybe skip the flowers and just get her a statue???

Kathy, it’s getting a little closer, and we are all going to miss you dearly when you retire, but we are going to enjoy the heck out of you until then!

Kind, diligent, detail oriented, hardworking, caring, tough-when-she-needs to be, and bottom line, she just loves her patients.

We love her too.

Cheers to 45 Kath, let’s make that last 0.5 great!!!

Trish!!! Happy “5 year” work anniversary!

Trish has worked for our family for many years, but most recently these last 5 as an assistant for me.

She’s super hardworking, loyal, quick to laugh, and not afraid to roll up her sleeves when things get busy and challenging.

She’s has shown time and time again that she will always be there, ready to help the patients and her teammates, everyday, no matter the circumstances. She’s as dependable as they come, and a lot of fun to boot! We love ya Trish!

Office Christmas Party!

We had a great time just enjoying each other’s company. These ladies are the best, and I am blessed to have them by my side as we take care of all of our patients.

To my team: thank you for always putting the patients best interests first and really investing yourself in each and every of them. You are all in it for the right reasons and it shows.

Here’s to 2025!

That opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was directly and intentionally mocking and deriding the Last Supper, one of the most sacred moments in Christian salvation history.

Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper is one of the most famous paintings in all of western civiliazation. I highly doubt Thomas Jolly (the artistic director for the opening ceremony) was unaware of it.

At its climax, Jesus, God Himself who descended upon earth, became man, and sacrificed Himself for all of us says, “Take this, and eat of it: this is my body given up for you.”

And during the ceremony, what do we see but a god Dionysius, (the god of wine-making, orchards and fruit, vegetation, fertility, festivity, insanity, ritual madness, religious ecstasy, and theatre) offered up as food, gesturing towards and singing about his p***s.

I wish I was making this up. But I am not.

I will not simply watch this without speaking out in what little way that I can. Mock me if you will, I probably deserve it. My own sinfulness is well known to me.

But this morning at Mass, as we prepared to receive our Lord Jesus Christ, body, blood, soul, and divinity, in the holy Eucharist, the words that each of us recite “Lord, I am not worthy to receive you, but only say the words and my soul shall be healed.” hit me hard.

I am a sinner, Lord knows; a poor soul who tries to follow Jesus but fails often. But I can do this. I can denounce this hateful act.

And I will fight it the best way I know how: to love and serve my family, my friends, my work family, my patients, my community, ALL of my neighbors (whether they love, hate, or are indifferent to our Lord and God Jesus Christ) the way Jesus loves me: He pours out His life for me in self sacrifice, He loves me when I am at my best and when I am at my worst. His Love never fails. Mine will at times, to be sure, but I will confess my sins, ask forgiveness, make amends and try again.

He is always waiting for me to repent, to turn away from my self absorbed sinful mess and turn to Him. And when I do, His love fills me with a light and love that bursts forth, and turns my focus from inward to outward, and His Spirit works through me (yes, even me!!) to bless those around me. And there, THERE, finally, is true joy, true peace, and true contentment.

Do not let the world turn you away from Jesus. He is your only hope.

Good night, my friends and family. I truly do love you all. Poorly, at times, but I do try.

Oh my goodness! This awesome lady, Kathy Holsworth, will be retiring next year after 47 years of working for our family!!

What can we even say about Kathy?? Her clinical skills are impeccable, she works her tail off, is a team player, and has the best happy and upbeat vibe.

But most of all, she’s just a person who cares about her patients, her coworkers, and her family before herself.

We will miss her terribly! But, we all have a little less than a year to say goodbye, so make sure to let her know how much you appreciate her when you are in the office, and don’t be afraid to stop by and just tell her!

Thank you for everything Kathy! You have been a great blessing to us, and we are so grateful! We love you!
