I can say 'thank you' in many languages and the pts LOVE IT :-)

Happily working at DCMG for over 7 yrs, and for over 4 yrs with Dr Brvenik, originally from Belarus. We have had many pts where English is their 2nd language. I started by learning to say thank you in Russian and Ukranian and pts ALWAYS smile if I say Spasibo or Dyakuyu. People appreciate little things like that. I learned to say Falaminderit for the large Albanian population near Largo with Fl Blue. This led to a small hobby of learning Thank You (with a smile) from 10+ countries. Making pts comfortable, that's what it's about. Please consider that the new Largo location is no more than a 5-10 minute walk from my house and I know I'll be a great fit. Looking forward to hearing about my new job!
