Our office works with the Her Song organization in providing preventative dental care and completing restorative work, giving girls a newfound confidence and joy with each treatment.

We are grateful for the opportunity to contribute our skills and to introduce our patients and neighbors to an organization doing meaningful work in Northeast Florida and beyond.
What is Her Song?
Her Song is a Christian organization that supports survivors of human trafficking through victim outreach, care coordination, and long-term residential care. Founded in 2013, the organization began in Northeast Florida with a focus on helping women access a safe place to heal and rebuild their lives.
Its work connects survivors with resources and ongoing support as they pursue lasting freedom and self-sufficiency. Learn more about its mission and programs on the official Her Song website.

NYT: An Escape to the Dentist? Parents Confess Their Secret Ways to Get Alone Time
Peter J. Strauss’s life as an attorney, speaker and single father of four children ages 1 to 10 leaves him little time for himself.
He catches a break in a place most people try to avoid: “I love going to the dentist,” says Mr. Strauss, of Hilton Head Island, S.C. “It’s 45 minutes when I know nobody is going to interrupt me. You can’t reach me and you can’t ask for anything,” says Mr. Strauss, author of a book on self-insurance for businesses. Although he has perfect teeth, he gets them cleaned three times a year instead of the usual two. The visits are so dull that he sometimes falls asleep in the chair.

Rally Round the Flagpole — A Patient Spotlight
I believe that part of what makes our practice so amazing is our patients. I am always amazed by how much they accomplish. Most recently Donna Hulsey finished her first book, Rally Round the Flag Pole.
When Donna Snively Hulsey found out in July 1989 that she'd be the first principal of a state-of-the-art elementary school, she teamed up with the community and got to work.
It didn't matter that the school in Jacksonville, Florida, would not open until the fall of 1990: Before the first steel girder of Alimacani Elementary School was erected, the community began to spread a positive image of the school.
Within seven years of opening, the school was recognized as a National Blue Ribbon School and a National Safe and Drug-Free School, and accordingly was honored twice by the president of the United States at the White House.
Redbook magazine named Alimacani the top school in Florida for its "uncompromising commitment to excellence in school and community partnerships." Three Alimacani teachers were individually tapped as Duval Teacher of the Year, Florida Physical Education Teacher of the Year, and Florida Media Specialist of the Year.
Whether you're a parent, an educator wanting to fix problems at an existing school or establish a solid foundation at a new one, or a concerned citizen working on behalf of children, you'll find a blueprint for educational success in Rally Round the Flagpole.
Donna Snively Hulsey is an award-winning principal who has served America and its youth as a teacher, principal, and regional director in the Duval County Public Schools in Jacksonville, Florida. She has also taught undergraduate and graduate level courses. She has two children, five grandchildren, and lives in Jacksonville with her husband.
One of the most rewarding parts of practicing dentistry is getting to know the people behind the appointments. Our patients are educators, leaders, creators, and problem-solvers — and we’re continually impressed by what they contribute beyond our office walls.
Most recently, we’re proud to recognize Donna Snively Hulsey, who has published her first book, Rally Round the Flagpole.
A Story of Leadership and Community
In July of 1989, Donna was named the first principal of a new elementary school in Jacksonville, Florida — a school that would not open its doors for more than a year. Rather than wait, she partnered with families, teachers, and the surrounding community to establish a shared vision before the first steel beam was even in place.
That school, Alimacani Elementary, quickly became a model of what intentional leadership and community partnership can achieve. Within seven years, it earned recognition as both a National Blue Ribbon School and a National Safe and Drug-Free School, receiving national honors that included recognition at the White House.
Redbook magazine later named Alimacani the top school in Florida for its commitment to excellence in education and community involvement. Multiple faculty members were recognized at the state level for their achievements, further reflecting the culture Donna helped create.
A Blueprint for Meaningful Change
Rally Round the Flagpole is written for parents, educators, and community members who want to make a lasting difference in children’s lives. Drawing on real experience, the book outlines how strong leadership, shared purpose, and collaboration can transform schools — whether building something new or revitalizing what already exists.
It’s not just a story of one school, but a practical framework for creating environments where people can succeed together.
