Our Good Patient Contest Winner for March 2011

We have exciting news, we have our winner of our iPod Touch, Cade!  Congratulations!  We've actually had some families ask us, "Do you REALLY give away that stuff, or is it just to get your patients to cooperate?"  The answer is, "YES!"  Cade was SO excited for his iPod touch, his dad said he hasn't stopped grinning since he heard the news.  We LOVE rewarding our patients for their hard work.  Keep it up everyone, your reward is coming!

An iPod Touch for Our Valentines

A New Year With Albrecthsen Orthodontics

Here we are again at the start of a new year.  We look forward to 2011 with new hopes and dreams for our practice and our families.  As patients and parents, here's what you can look forward to for this year.  


Quarterly Good Patient Contests:  Every quarter we give away a fun prize to those we feel have done their very best at being a Good Patient.  Of course, they must follow our rules; be on time, have excellent brushing, wear appliances as instructed, and never have any loose or broken brackets or appliances.  We do understand if a broken appliance is not the patients' fault.  We always take this into consideration.  


Annual Patient Appreciation Party:  Dr. Albrechtsen and his team always look forward to our fun summer party at Surf N' Swim.  Here, we can kick back, soak up the sun, hang out with friends and family, and not worry about your braces for a few hours.


Monthly Fun Contests:  Every month we have a contest that everyone is sure to participate in.  Whether it's answering silly questions, finding the celebrity smile or testing your social media knowledge, there's always a game for someone.  Whenever you come to our office, make sure you ask what the Fun Contest for the month is.  


$50 Club:  Any time you refer a friend to our office for treatment, you get rewarded.  If a friend that you've referred starts a full set of braces and they mention your name, you get $50.  It's that simple!  Not only does Dr. Albrechtsen give you the best smile anyone could ask for, but he rewards you for spreading the word about it.


Watch for our quarterly newsletters! If we have your e-mail address, you have given us permission to send you a newsletter.  If you don't want the newsletter, it's easy to opt out...just click on the link when you receive your newsletter.
