A Proper "Please" and "Thank You"


From the desk of Dr. Elchahal

Dear Family of Patients,

"Please" help me welcome Dr. Stephanie Moore to our practice. Dr. Moore joined our practice January 3rd, 2011 and will be seeing patients in our Johns Creek, Hamilton Mill and Vickery offices. She is a native of Johns Creek where she attended Dolvin Elementary, Taylor Road Middle and Chattahoochee High School. Dr. Moore then went on to attend the University of Georgia and The Medical College of Georgia where she received both her dental degree and orthodontic residency training. She's married to her high school sweetheart Lonnie, and they are both excited and happy to be back and actively be a part of the community that they love so dearly. Dr. Moore is an excellent orthodontist and a delightful, warm individual. Our entire team is excited to have her join our practice and look forward to personally introducing her to you. Again, would you "please" help us welcome Dr. Stephanie Moore into our practice.

Sincerely,

Dr. Alec Elchahal and Team

"Thank you" so much for the warm welcome! It's always been a dream of mine to come back to my hometown to practice orthodontics, so it's great to be back! I am so excited to be joining Dr. Alec Elchahal and his team to continue creating beautiful smiles in our wonderful community. I'm looking forward to meeting all of our fellow colleagues, existing patients and welcoming new patients to be a part of our orthodontic family. "Thank you" again for welcoming me back home.

Connect with the Braces Brigade!

At our office, our patients want to get as much out of their treatment as possible. That includes asking a lot of questions and making sure they take care of both their appliances and oral health.

Would you like to learn more about what to expect during orthodontic treatment, from someone with firsthand experience? Well, our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recently developed the Braces Brigade blog, where past, present, as well as future orthodontic patients from coast to coast document their (or their child’s) orthodontic journeys. The blog will serve as a source of guidance for others as the patients undergo orthodontic care.

Our team and Dr. Elchahal encourages you to visit the Braces Brigade blog to read these great and informative blogs—who knows, maybe you’ll learn a thing or two! As always, don’t hesitate to give us a call if you have any questions about the Braces Brigade or your own orthodontic treatment!
