However, there are a few rare patients who not only seem to enjoy visiting us, but give us something to smile about. In our of- fice, patients are friends and many of those friends have followed Dr. Ste- ven Little throughout his dental career which isn’t something often heard in this industry. Patty Bonney was the first patient Dr. Little saw back in 1991 while still attending dental school and she has stayed with him ever since. Patty always arrives to our office with a warm smile and optimistic attitude, but that’s not all she brings… she also carries with her a backpack. This backpack is filled with endless reasons why she is so special to us and so many others. Patty spends her time in the chair knitting hats to be donated to multiple organizations that need them the most. If you pass through our office during one of her appointments, you will see her laid back in the dental chair, hygienist hard at work and Pattys knitting needles up in the air creating one of her precious gifts. Patty is a member of the Family Community Services Home Extension Group and for over 30 years has knitted hats to be donated for the prema- ture newborns in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of both OHSU and Tuality Hospital. According to Patty, she has made over 1,000 hats to date and doesn’t plan to stop anytime soon. More recently, Patty has also been contributing to the NW Pilot Project by knitting hats and scarves for young adults that have been placed in group homes. It takes a special person to give so much to so many without ever expect- ing anything in return and she is absolutely one of those people. As dental care professionals it’s our goal to put a smile on the face of every patient that walks through the door, but it’s patients like Patty that give us a reason to smile over and over again. Thank you Patty for being such a wonderful addition to our family at West Hills Dental Center and for your continued dedication to spreading smiles and being an inspiration for us all.
