What a wonderful day to have the OM (original manager) and my good friend Christina back at the office. In Feb 2012 we opened the doors to the office with zero patients and in those first years we started growing it - and Christina grew her family when she married Ronnie and became pregnant with Lorenzo. Such a beautiful treat to have her whole family visit the office today. Beautiful. Rays of sunshine in my day ❤️👏🏻🙏🏻
