I treat my patients when they come
into my world like they're my family.
00:00:10.077 --> 00:00:12.846
This office has been here over 30 years.
00:00:12.913 --> 00:00:15.048
It's been an amazing journey.
00:00:15.282 --> 00:00:18.952
I wanted to create
a patient-centered model here
00:00:19.019 --> 00:00:22.055
where there's 100% focus on the patient.
00:00:22.456 --> 00:00:27.694
I wanted to push myself to learn and grow
00:00:27.761 --> 00:00:30.128
and be the best that I could be.
00:00:30.297 --> 00:00:33.534
I wanted to create a practice
that focused on the patient
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:37.671
and made the patient
the central part of our mission
00:00:37.938 --> 00:00:41.875
so that when patients came here,
our complete focus was on them.
00:00:42.176 --> 00:00:48.849
I believe that some of the core values
of our practice are having integrity
00:00:49.416 --> 00:00:53.453
and doing what's best
for the patient no matter what,
00:00:54.021 --> 00:00:57.324
and really not just settling
for good enough
00:00:57.391 --> 00:01:00.561
that things need to be
perfect and excellent.
00:01:00.794 --> 00:01:06.733
Dr. Catalana's office is run
like a very well-oiled machine.
00:01:06.800 --> 00:01:10.571
Everybody is tremendously
professional and friendly.
00:01:10.637 --> 00:01:12.480
Everybody gets back to you.
00:01:12.546 --> 00:01:16.143
The office is not only beautiful,
but it's welcoming.
00:01:16.777 --> 00:01:19.413
The staff here is amazing.
00:01:19.513 --> 00:01:22.583
I'm so fortunate
for the team that I have around me.
00:01:22.649 --> 00:01:25.285
I have many staff that have been
with me for a long time.
00:01:25.352 --> 00:01:28.822
A lot of the patients
are really blown away by our staff.
00:01:28.956 --> 00:01:33.126
What you're getting here
is a wealth of knowledge in this field
00:01:33.360 --> 00:01:38.365
and that I go to every effort
to make your smile amazing.
00:01:38.432 --> 00:01:42.603
We really have personal connections
with all of our patients
00:01:42.669 --> 00:01:45.539
and to everything that we can do
to make them feel comfortable.
00:01:45.772 --> 00:01:50.377
What I have to say to Dr. Catalano
and the team in this office is thank you.
00:01:50.444 --> 00:01:52.746
He really takes care of his patients.
00:01:52.813 --> 00:01:55.415
Some patients are surprised
00:01:55.482 --> 00:01:58.719
that they can have such
a great experience at the dentist.
00:01:58.785 --> 00:02:00.020
I want a beautiful place,
00:02:00.087 --> 00:02:03.156
I want a place
that is artistic and calming
00:02:03.223 --> 00:02:06.193
and has almost like a spa-like feel.
00:02:06.460 --> 00:02:09.129
I want to create that incredible
experience for the patient.
00:02:09.329 --> 00:02:11.632
He loves meeting new people.
00:02:11.698 --> 00:02:15.636
He loves doing what he does,
and I think he does great.
00:02:16.003 --> 00:02:22.709
The core values for me for this practice
is to live a life with integrity,
00:02:22.776 --> 00:02:25.112
to do the very best for my patients.
00:02:25.179 --> 00:02:30.150
I think when you're taken care of,
you feel like it's the right place.
00:02:30.484 --> 00:02:31.685
It's like, "This is a home."
