mEET ROMEO

Afsaneh Andrea Rad D.M.D., M.Sc., M.M.Sc.

Romeo, our 4-year-old golden doodle, is the heart and soul of our dental office. Acting like a therapy dog, Romeo’s presence brings joy, comfort, and a bit of fun to both patients and staff.

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF ROMEO:

Romeo greets our staff every morning with wagging enthusiasm, setting a cheerful tone for the day. His friendly nature extends to our patients as well, and he gets especially excited to meet new faces. Romeo is secured in the front office when patients arrive, ensuring everyone is comfortable, but he’s always ready to make a special appearance when requested or if he has a pre-existing bond with a patient.

IN THE DENTAL CHAIR:

When patients are in the dental chair, Romeo is their loyal companion. He offers comfort and a calming presence until the procedure begins. Understanding the importance of a focused environment, Romeo leaves the room once the procedure starts and returns promptly to celebrate its completion.

FAVORITE ACTIVITIES:

Romeo loves playing with his favorite toy, lamb chop, which matches his cream-colored fur. His playful energy is infectious, and he never fails to bring a smile to everyone’s face.

PERSONALITY:

Exuding love and warmth, Romeo has been a part of our team since he was just 10 weeks old. His nurturing nature makes him an invaluable part of our practice, providing emotional support and light-hearted moments throughout the day.

HERE FOR YOU:

Whether you’re a regular visitor or here for the first time, Romeo is always eager to offer his support and companionship. He’s here to help you feel at ease and make your visit as pleasant as possible. If you prefer not to have Romeo around, rest assured he won't be coming by. However, if you’d love his company, he’s available to help on demand. Come meet Romeo and experience the unique comfort and joy he brings to our dental office!
