Flex Funds for Orthodontics

As you begin to think about the funds that remain in your 2012 Flexible Spending Account, don't forget that Flex funds may be used for orthodontics.  If you or your child is in need of orthodontics, give us a call to schedule an initial exam to see about getting the braces placed before the end of the year so you can use your Flex funds. You may also use Flex Funds to make payments on accounts for patients already in treatment.

Jarrell Jeopardy is Always a Good Time!

During a recent team training day, we played Jarrell Jeopardy. What a blast!  Team members had to tell Carrie aka "Alex Trebek" 5 things no one knew about them which she then organized into various categories to make our Jeopardy boards. Then, team members had to blow into party horns to "buzz" in. It got pretty rowdy! And, surprise, the winner of Jarrell Jeopardy was Maribeth, the team member who has been here the shortest amount of time! She has obviously learned quite a bit about her co-workers during her year at Jarrell Orthodontics. Congrats, Maribeth.
