The Amazing Alexanders

Just one post before next patient. (On dial-up speed again today). Will chat again tonight.

Just now I had a delivery - the most amazing live flower arrangement, complete with real bark and moss growing around it - to wish me luck with my new practice opening today!

And from who? Mike, Michele, Shannon and Cameron. Wow,wow, wow! I almost cried, it is really so beautiful, the flowers, the thought, the amazing people you guys are.... all the way from Oranjemund.

Thank you, thank you, I will get online again tonight to tell how it went. Here's pictures of my surprise.

That's them - those Alexanders! Always something up the sleeve just to do good to or for someone else !

Bertie - baie geluk en baie voorspoed met die praktyk. Mag jy net die hoogste sukses behaal en ongelooflike vreugde put uit jou loopbaan vorentoe!

The very best of luck with the new practice Bertie

The Oranjemunders are simply the best!

Thank you all for the wishes (spelled it right this time), you are really amazing, and the cherry on the cake. I had the most wonderful day in a veeeery long time. Everything went extremely smooth and I had great and interesting patients.
All of them left here very satisfied, the one lady (71 years) actually burst into tears and gave me a nice hug just before she left because she felt so good about the way I handled her after traveling from one doctor to the next over the last 2 years without any hope. I know she's going to get better -the other doctors treated her symptoms only, not the cause, and actually made her worse.
Today I had interesting cases, including sinusitis, reflux/heartburn, sleep disorders, anxiety attacks, muscular pains, facial neuralgia, hepatitis and loss of nails. All treatable. Some more difficult to treat the natural way than others, but I am positive.

Once again thank you all, you made today special!

Glad to know that your first day was such a great success and joy!

Way to go Doctor Bertie

Dr Bertie.

@ John - sorry, I didn't answer your question - No, I didn't move. I practice Phytotherapy from a separate room in the same house as my dental practice. I'm just dividing the week into the two modalities. As Phytotherapy gets more popular, I'll start to phase out the dentistry.
My goal is to get a smallholding eventually where I can grow and supply organic medicinal herbs. Much less stress than dentistry!
