The Manifesto of a Loving Family Dentist

PetersenFamilyDentistry • June 12, 2018

I believe in family. As a dentist, a husband and a father of four, I have committed my life to helping families like yours and mine stay as healthy as possible. I am dedicated to treating each patient as though they were my own family. It is my duty and privilege to put the care back into healthcare.

I want to help families across Broomfield and beyond enjoy the very best oral health. It is my passion to help families keep their teeth healthy and attractive for a lifetime. It is my calling to help families maintain proper nutrition, keep youthful looks, and avoid the discomfort and health problems that are often connected with inadequate oral health.

What I know for sure is that true care starts with compassionate communication.

That my team and I shall all be excellent listeners.

That a thorough explanation of a procedure profoundly affects our patient’s comfort and relaxation.

That an attitude of gentle understanding and compassion builds relationships of a lifetime, often generational ones.

That what the world needs now is more openness and kindness.

This is my commitment to my community. To my patients. To you.

Sincerely,

Dr. Derek Petersen
