Dr. Dudley – In the last 8 years, you have taught me so much not just about the dental field but also about motivation and drive to be the best hygienist I can be.  You have always been available to discuss issues with me, and you have believed in me all along the way.  I am so thankful to have not only a "boss" but a friend that I can look up to professionally and who has guided me professionally through my 20s and into my 30s! In addition, I have seen how the dental office/field goes way beyond clinical practice.  We took a career-changing trip to Scottsdale when I first started and learned so much about bettering ourselves clinically and personally. When you started Elite Dental, I was able to witness everything that is involved in starting an amazing dental practice from the ground up.  Working for you and helping to start this new practice has been the best experience.  You really are a mentor personally and professionally for me, and I admire your amazing work ethic and drive!

Dr. Dudley – In the short time we have worked together, you have taught me a motto to live by both professionally and personally – “Work smarter, not harder”. Wishing you the best.

Scott – You have inspired me to never stop improving on myself and to never settle into easy contentment. I am better for having seen firsthand how much more important leadership is to life and practice than any dental skill.

Dr Dudley - It’s been an Awesome journey working with you. From the moment I met you 12+ years ago I knew there was something special about you. I appreciate all the lessons learned, words of encouragement and the mentoring process. You have inspired me to be better and always look for the best in others. I know there is more to come in the next chapter in your life. There’s no distance in friendship. Wishing you the very best.

Dr. Dudley – You have a fantastic energy about you. You have inspired me to push myself to do more to help those around me. If ever I think I cannot give more, you’re a reminder that there is always something else to be done. You never cease to have excitement and drive for finding the next best opportunity for not just yourself, but friends, family, and colleagues. I am very lucky to have gotten to know you over the past couple of months and look forward to picking your brain about life and the dental profession for many years to come!

Scott - You have continually challenged me to be a better dentist and better leader each and every day, which has translated into me being a better father, husband, colleague, and friend.  You care about your team members and have always showed up when called upon.  I admire your determination and will-power to never give up.  You are not afraid to take risks and will work endlessly to bring your vision to fruition.  You think outside the box and always has a fresh perspective on a situation or problem that needs to be addressed. Thank you.

Dr. D - In the short time we have worked together, you have accomplished a great deal. It's awesome to see from a fellow South Jerseyan. Thanks for being an inspiration!
