From Don Davis's comments, I can almost bet his ex wife had less than ideal experiences with one or more previous employers who did not value hygiene to her degree (degree meaning "her level of commitment", not degree...

To Dr LEAKY, my “drive by” comments were poorly delivered.
Your outstanding post describes the kind of Practice everyone should experience.

Thank you for taking the time to elevate the knowledge of this thread.
