Happy Thanksgiving!
At Newhart Othodontics, we embrace technology, whether it’s through the innovative treatments we offer, our high-tech web site or our Facebook fan page. As you can probably tell, we love connecting with our patients online, whether it’s by sharing news on our blog or communicating ideas on our fan page. For social media to work, we understand that conversation is vital, and that’s why we invite you to join in and tell us what’s on your mind. Although social networks are hugely popular these days, we know they’re unpredictable and ever-changing.
While we take a little time to research how to best use social media, we thought we’d ask you, our loyal patients: How would you like us to use our social networks? What would you like us to share on our blog? Please post your thoughts or give us a call!
It’s fall here for us at Newhart Orthodontics, and now that Halloween is passed, we bet you and your families have begun to make plans for Thanksgiving.
Today we wanted to ask you, our wonderful patients, “How are you spending your time this fall?” Our team would love to hear about your favorite places for eating, shopping, and entertainment across the los angeles area. We are interested in learning about what makes your community “yours.”
Feel free to post your responses on our Facebook page, or give us a call!
