FALL HOURS This fall, starting August 14th, our office hours will be from 9am to 5pm with a lunch break from 12:30 until 2pm. We hope to see you really soon!

BIG WRITE UP IN LOCAL MAG Dr Darbro’s expert advice on orthodontics and orthodontic procedures was requested by local magazine SOUTH, a periodical for Indy’s Southside. In the article, Dr Darbro discussed subjects ranging from ages of patients in treatment to innovative orthodontic breakthroughs, from early treatment to working with patients to achieve the best result. The magazine will be available through March at Borders, Kroger, and Marsh and by subscription. BUT you can also access it online at www.indysouthmag.com where you can actually page through the magazine and read all the articles (caveat: as of right now there is no quick way to get to page 84/85 directly!).

GREENER PASTURES We are sorry to announce one of our staff members has drifted on to greener pastures! Beth, our receptionist extraordinaire, has moved south to Florida. Too short was our time with Beth, but we know that Dixie will warmly welcome her and that takes away the sting of our loss not to mention our plans to visit her come winter!!

SUMMERTIME TELL-ALL! This past summer, to celebrate Dr. Darbro’s 30 amazing years in practice, we offered 30 amazing prizes in our exciting contest/drawing. We had our patients write about their summer fun (vacations, activities, etc.) on postcards, from which we drew for the coveted prizes. What the patient actually did did not matter; simply filling out the postcard entered them in the contest! We had had one entry share that they brushed their teeth every day! Here are pictures of the prizewinners and their prizes: Move your mouse over the slideshow below to pause or skip forward and backward.

THE KING AND I Dr. Darbro is a very accomplished thespian! He never fails to impress us with his ability to bring life to his characters. This talent was put to the test with his role as a dying pharaoh in the Indianapolis Civic Theater’s production of Elton John and Tim Rice’s AIDA.

“…HEY, ISN'T THAT DR. DARBRO ?!?”

Besides being an orthodontist and in addition to acting onstage in local productions, Dr. Darbro also models for Artistic Enterprises.

You may have seen the doctor in some advertisements on TV for a Terre Haute hospital. He plays a meat and potatoes type of guy who washes his car and wonders about his health. It plays mainly in the northern part of the state, so don’t feel bad if you missed it!

Closer to Greenwood; you may see Dr. Darbro in a brochure for a local heart hospital where he can be seen reclining in a hospital bed hooked up to an EKG machine. They had to put make up on him to make him look sick!!!

He also appears in a training video for an insurance company.

A MORNING OF CPR

As always, we value the safety of our patients and our staff. To honor this commitment, we keep our CPR and OSHA certifications current. We want you to feel comfortable and safe in our office. October 30th we closed the office to become recertified in CPR, both one and two person adult and child CPR. Individual face masks were provided that attached to the dummies who needed resuscitating.

PROPHY CONTEST WINNER

Getting your teeth cleaned every six months can get you more than a pretty smile. Here at Dr. Darbro's office, we reward our patients by placing their name in a drawing. Simply take one of our "See-Your-Dentist" entry forms with you to your visit and have the dentist/hygienist fill it out. When you come back to see us, drop your entry form into the jar at the front desk. If your name is drawn, you win a Mall Gift Certificate!! This drawing is held in January and July, so be sure to visit your dentist.

NEW CHANGES!!

Things are looking different around the office these days, I wonder what it could be… Oh yeah! This year we added new assistant stools to help our staff better assist you!
