NACOGDOCHES, TEXAS - Five years ago, I practiced alone in an older building that had been both an office and a residence for an ENT specialist. I had a fully outfitted oral/maxillofacial surgery operating room where I performed procedures such as wisdom tooth extraction. We also did some minimal facial cosmetic work. It wasn't ideal in many ways, but it served my purposes.

But when Greg Tate joined our practice out of fellowship, everything changed.
