Any time a new small business is born in America our country becomes a little stronger. Small business in America is one part of the backbone of this great country of ours. We want to share with you a success story of one of our personal friends here in Chandler, Arizona. Kris and his wife, Maya Putrasahan are a true example of one of the ways to be a wonderful American family. Both hail from Indonesia and have two wonderful teenage children.

Dad, my bonus mom Gloria, I, and many other friends witnessed this family become American citizens a few years back. Yes, this guy can cry and I was misty eyed knowing how amazingly wonderful we are to be Americans. For sure we have our struggles but what country doesn’t. I was born and raised in Indonesia for 19 years and there is nothing like our wonderful country, the United States of America! Now this year, in November 2011, the Putrasahan family has made another dream come true; they opened up their own dental office.

Doctor Kris is a general dentist practicing in the Valley for over 15 years. Their business is called Logos Dentistry PLLC and they can be found on Facebook. Their business web site is at www.logosdentistry.com. You may email Doctor Kris at drkris@logosdentistry.com. You may email the front desk for an appointment at frontdesk@logosdentistry.com or call them at 480-788-3627. Their office is located on the SW corner of Price Road and Ray Road.

I personally am not fond of dentist offices since my childhood dental experiences came from Indonesian dental work done. Growing up in Indonesia we had to travel all day to another island to get a dentist to look at our teeth. The travel was not the hard part. What was the toughest part was keeping from choking those cotton balls stuffed down our throats to keep our mouth dry as the dentist worked on our cavity filled teeth. Modern dentist equipment was not common in those far corners of the earth. But I will tell you now I am so very happy to sit down in Dr. Kris dentist chair because this doctor really knows the art of his business. He not is only great but, in layman’s terms, awesome! I will never ever go to another dentist, so help me God!!

We are excited for Doctor Kris and his wonderful wife and family for their lives in and out of work. They are a true example of what an American family is and should look like. I am thankful to not only say that Pak (Mr. in Indonesian) Kris is my dentist but also an awesome friend!

Well, with that said, I better get my call into their office, Logos Dentistry, so I can make sure I have no cavities to fret about.
