This image from a recent shoot to update Dr. Brandon’s website reminded me of the eTrade commercials with the talking babies. I wish I had Dr. Brandon when I was younger. His philosophy is to create a non-threatening environment for both parents and kids. My pediatric dentist drilled without novocaine and watched sports on TV...

Keris Collage
While in Honolulu visiting family last August, I received a phone call from Katie. Hearing her sweet voice, memories of their beautiful wedding day flashed back.
