1. Look for dental offices that have a great reputation in town.
Look up the office on Google and read the reviews. Are past
patients saying what you want to hear?
2. When you call a potential dental office, you can ask about any
advanced training the dentist has had after dental school.
You can ask the receptionist if she gets her dental work done
by the dentist she works for.
You can find out what the website address is so you can check
it out before you go to get a feel if it is an office you want to visit.
3. Once you go, see if the energy in the office is warm and
inviting or is there tension in the air and it feels like a stressful
environment.
4. Does the doctor and team take the time to explain everything
and answer all of your questions?
5. Does everyone in the office seem to have empathy and show
compassion, treating you like family?
6. Does the office appear clean and up to date?

be built under the bridge and connect
to an existing 2,400-foot boardwalk,
known as the Riverwalk, that goes to
Veteran’s Memorial Park at Rivergate.
The boardwalk will be 10 feet wide.
Access ramps will be 6 feet wide, assistant
parks and recreation director Brad
Keen said.
Pedestrians and cyclists will reap an
important benefit from connecting the
two boardwalks, Keen says. Instead of
crossing the busy Port St. Lucie Boulevard
intersection, people and cyclists
will be able to go under the bridge.
There will be access to the boardwalk
from Tom Hooper Park behind Walgreens
and from Bridge Plaza on the
other side.
Eventually, the boardwalk will be
extended several hundred feet further
south from the banyan tree to connect
with an existing conservation area at
the southern end of Westmoreland
Park. Trails through the conservation
area will be created.
Funding for the $1.9 million project
comes from the Florida Inland Navigation
District and from the city’s own
capital improvement funds. Other
grants are still in the works, Keen told
the council, sitting as the Community
Redevelopment Agency in November.
Brothers Construction, in Stuart, was
the lowest bidder and was awarded the
construction contract in June.
The boardwalk’s access ramp just
north of the park’s waterfront banyan
tree is a prime spot for a restaurant, city
council members have said, drawing
that into their master plan for Westmoreland
Park.
