Meet Kathleen Sullivan Our 2018 Mother’s Day Makeover Winner!

Here is Kathleen’s son Justin’s winning entry letter for his mom:

Words cannot describe how much my mom means to be and my nine siblings. (Yes, you read that correctly, she is a mother of 10.) She is the most kind-hearted, selfless person I know. Being a mother is the hardest job in the world, but she always puts her kids first, and does it with a smile on her face. The best thing about my mom is that she loves her family unconditionally and makes sure her kids (and six grandchildren) live the best lives possible. She could never afford dental work growing up, however, I think it made one of her missions as a parent to make sure her children’s teeth were always in tip-top shape (in 22 years, I’ve only had one cavity). Her dedication to give her children what she unfortunately never had is in my opinion, the epitome of strength. Whether it be cheering us on at a sporting event, leaving notes in her kid’s lunch boxes or calling her kids just to let us know she loves us, my mom is always thinking of others. This is evident in the 30 kids she has fostered over the last 25 years. Having her teeth fixed would mean the world to my mom and knowing she can smile with confidence would mean so much to all the people who have the privilege of having her in their lives. Everyday my mom puts a smile on my face, and it would mean so much if she could be chosen for the Mother’s Day makeover, so the much-deserved favor can be returned to her.

Makeover Cosponsors

Justin’s mom’s makeover will include a beautiful new smile, plus a hair and makeup makeover from Cielo Salon, a relaxing massage from Eros Spa and a getaway weekend at the charming Roycroft Inn including champagne and a romantic dinner for two.

Dr. Martin and his staff are wonderful. They are friendly, helpful and make you feel comfortable. The facilities are beautiful both inside and out . I’ve never had a bad experience here. Would highly recommend Westermeier Martin to anyone looking for honest , knowledgeable, and kind dentists and dental assistants who treat their patients with compassion and respect. They are honest about dental work and will not rip you off ( unlike the high profile dentist in Amherst that I had previously been to). Westermeier Martin have integrity and class.

The staff are Amazing!!!! They are always so pleasant and patient with each person. There is never a long waiting period to go into a room. Dr. Ehlers is wonderful. I am so glad I made the change from my dentist to Westermeier Martin. Never have I been disappointed with anyone or any procedure I have had done. Very thorough and answers every question. Would highly recommend!!!!!

The staff were welcoming and helpful. Check-in was quick, though patients should have their new patient paperwork completed in advance. Patti and Doctor took enough time to review the situation, run through the potential treatment plans, explain the procedures. They also reviewed options for the timing, costs and potential issues. They were very accommodating in terms of planning for the overall treatment and sensitive to options to spread the cost out to meet budgeting requirements. It was a great initial consultation.
