Single. Wanna mingle?
I've been going to the same dentists office for more than 20 years. I can actually say I don't mind going as he and his staff are great.
The building is an older (1970's?) one that holds maybe 20 offices, mostly dentists. A few years ago, I started making comments about the building not being handicapped accessible. Lo and behold, last year they were approved for and put in a ramp. (I'm not saying it was just because of ME though! LOL)
In my dentists office, he has always had armed chairs. I never really said much about it because I was always taken in right away. Within the last year though, I made comments to the Dr. and receptionist about the lack of seating for people of size.
This past week, I broke a tooth (Ouch!) and had to go in to see him. As soon as I entered the office, I saw that they had redecorated and also immediately saw that the chairs *still* had arms. :doh:
Christine, the receptionist tells me to have a seat and I say "I can't".
"Yes, you can" she insists.
"No, I really can't" I tell her.
"Yes, you really can" she says - then she points out the set of chairs that blend right in but don't have arms! She told me that when they talked about redecorating, she reminded the Dr. about my concerns and they decided to add some accessible seating.
Like the title says, it's a small victory, but a victory nonetheless!
