Very grateful for the opportunity to work with the LAT Dentistry team. Congratulations on your grand opening 🎉🎉
Tomorrow is the big day- we officially open for patient care! 🎉
As I sit here, I feel so many things- excited for all the wonderful people I get to meet and impact, nervous for all of the unknowns, thankful for all of the hard work that went into this big idea, and grateful for everyone who helped get me to this point. This journey has had its share of tears, late nights, and a serious case of heartburn; it has also brought me so much joy and excitement that it's hard to put it into words.
This is a pivotal point in the journey, but it's only just beginning! The future is bright! 🤩🥳
I have had the pleasure of working with and meeting so many amazing small businesses along this journey: Brad Thorn Lichen or Knot Plant Company Sun & Spruce Soaps Crafteria: Handmade Food & Goods Still Water Floatation New River Natural Health LLC Balance Wellspace Integrative Medicine Blue Cow Ice Cream Co. Potential Movement Bodyworks

(HVAC), Roanoke Regional Small Business Development Center, Roanoke Regional Chamber, Southwest Virginia Wildlife Center of Roanoke, Jerald Vest, Stephanie Wagoner Teichmiller, and Justin Brewer- it's truly hard to name everyone who had a hand in this project! Thank you all!
