Dr. Mary Trahar-Thomas
"I have always been inspired by Maya Angelou’s beautiful words: "People are always going to forget what you said. People are always going to forget what you did. But people are never going to forget how you make them feel."
And that’s been my goal since I opened my first practice 15 years ago. I want to make people feel like they are always welcome from the moment they walk in the door."
