The
dentists,
dental
assistants
and
hygienists
here
are
exceptionally
skilled
and
empathic.
The
facilities
are
excellent
with
plenty
of
state-of-the-art
equipment
and
materials.
The
receptionists
are
courteous
and
work
hard
to
keep
things
running
smoothly.
I
wonder
about
certain
problems
that
seem
to
recur
that
might
be
resolved
with
a
change
in
directorial
policy
and
an
improvement
in
the
management
of
space.
There
is
a
masking
policy
in
this
facility
that
is
coherent
with
the
times
and
with
the
centre's
mandate.
That
said,
nobody
is
enforcing
this
policy
so
there
are
plenty
of
patients
wandering
around
without
masks,
despite
a
sign
on
the
front
door
asking
them
to
do
so.
The
centre
is
located
in
a
city
with
extreme
winter
weather
but
very
little
by
way
of
accommodating
boots
and
coats.
I
used
to
place
my
boots
in
the
closet
next
to
the
reception
desk.
In
recent
years
they
have
placed
a
boot
tray
in
a
glass
vestibule
between
the
front
door
and
the
interior
doors.
Patients
are
expected
to
leave
their
boots
there
and
I
was
reprimanded
last
year
for
continuing
to
put
my
boots
in
the
closet.
When
I
arrived
yesterday
during
a
significant
ice
storm,
the
boot
trays
were
once
again
in
the
unguarded
vestibule
where
anyone
walking
by
could
see
them
and
take
them.
There
were
no
boots
in
the
trays.
I
removed
my
boots
and
put
them
in
the
closet,
hoping
that
I
wouldn't
be
reprimanded
a
second
time.
Nobody
seemed
to
notice.
However
the
reason
that
there
were
no
boots
in
the
trays
was
that
all
the
other
patients
opted
to
continue
wearing
their
boots
which
left
me
walking
around
in
my
socks
in
other
peoples
wet
boot
puddles.
I
have
hesitated
to
comment
on
these
issues
because
I
don't
want
to
cause
trouble
for
the
staff.
The
people
working
on
the
front
lines
here
are
efficient
and
kind
and
I
don't
think
they
need
to
be
policing
errant
patients.
Perhaps
it's
just
a
question
of
providing
boot
trays
in
a
place
where
footwear
will
stay
warm
and
out
of
the
way
of
potential
thieves.
They
could
place
trays
in
the
closet
and
condemn
a
seat
or
two
in
the
waiting
area
for
overflow.
I've
been
going
to
this
clinic
for
years
and
the
waiting
room
is
never
packed.
I'll
remember
to
bring
a
pair
of
indoor
shoes
the
next
time
I
come.
I
would
also
suggest
adding
additional
signs
concerning
the
masking
policies
along
with
making
sure
that
everyone
on
staff
is
aware
of
the
precise
policy
for
masking.
I
hate
wearing
a
mask
but
I'm
more
than
willing
to
do
so
in
a
clinical
setting
or
in
circumstances
where
I
know
it
could
lower
the
risk
significantly
for
a
vulnerable
person.
It
annoys
me
if
I'm
the
only
one
adhering
to
the
policy.
