When I started writing my blog (the #fridaypfisterfix) back in 2020, my goal was to connect with (and hopefully inspire) my patients, especially at a time when COVID shocked the world. Now, nearly 4 years later, I’m still at it (although sometimes publishing only once/month). This latest blog entry is entitled “The Pfister 5” — five things you probably didn’t know about me — a window into my world outside of Orthodontics.

Participating in Race with Grace this past Sunday reminded me how truly kind and compassionate people can be. If you watch too much evening news… or read too many tabloids… or if you travel by phone or laptop on any of the social media highways… you may get a very twisted and tainted view of mankind. But believe me, there is more good in humanity than bad. And in this week’s #fridaypfisterfix, I use 2 seemingly dissimilar events to make my case.

On behalf of my family and staff, I truly wish each and every one of you the most meaningful Christmas ever! I still believe there is "magic" in Christmas (yes, even for adults). It just comes in different forms and maybe not in a sleigh or wrapped under a tree, but in the warming of our hearts. Check out this week’s #fridaypfisterfix to learn more…

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers of the world! God knows I owe a debt of gratitude to my own. Ever wonder why we have such a special bond with our mothers? Biology may have the answer. Check out this week’s #fridaypfisterfix to peer into the world of a mother’s love…

As we travel down the pathway of life, never knowing what is around the next bend, we encounter quiet periods of self-reflection. During these times, many of us think back on the important people in our lives. And for me, one of the most important of those people… if not the most important of all… is my mother.
