Why He Was Nominated:

Dr. Everett serves his Texas Panhandle community with state-of-the-art technology and compassion. He opened his practice five years ago, beginning with a close-knit staff that included his wife, sister and father, but he has since more than tripled his practice size. His office boasts one of the two X-Guide implant machines in his area. He’s a Diplomate of the American Academy of Periodontology.

Why He Became a Dentist:

“I knew I wanted to do something in health care, and in college I always noticed people’s teeth. My childhood dentist helped foster that curiosity by allowing me to assist him during summers. In dental school, a great friend and colleague introduced me to periodontics, which fulfilled my desire for integrating surgery and esthetic excellence.”

Philosophy:

“For patients: Treat ’em like family. For myself: Don’t complain about the mud if you prayed for the rain.”
