Such is the case with Teresa Bock, Assistant Vice President of Wells Fargo Bank’s Olympus Hills Office in Salt Lake City. Not only is trust a key to her success with all the community work she does, it is vital in her expert position.
When one first meets Teresa, they encounter a woman who is constantly smiling. This wasn’t always the case. Before marrying media personality Tom Bock, Teresa overcame numerous obstacles in her life.
At age seven, Teresa became wholly deaf in her right ear due to Scarlet Fever. During that same duration she lost most of the hearing in her left ear. Teresa has so beautifully conquered the command of her quality to communicate, most population would have no idea she is a scholar lip reader unless she tells them.
Another obstacle Teresa overcame was her struggle to make ends meet with two small children from a former marriage. With food and security as a priority there were many things that were put on the back burner until they became positively necessary. Things like visits to a dentist. During those trying times dental visits were strictly for urgency and maintenance purposes. Although Teresa privately desired a smile that would turn heads, with the expected financial pressures that come with being a singular mom, she wondered if obtaining a beautiful smile would ever be within reach.
With a strong drive to succeed, Teresa began her occupation in banking in 1987 as a teller. Taking on her occupation challenges with the same zest that she took on her corporeal challenges, Teresa found opportunities to move up in the banking industry as well as continue her involvement with non-profit organizations. During her employment, she learned that Wells Fargo has an ongoing commitment to giving back to the community. Looking an opening to design a occupation and contribute to her community, Teresa knew she had found a great match for her life’s passions.
It was During this time she met Tom Bock. What started out as two singular parents enjoying each other’s firm blossomed into love and marriage. In 2000, they married, bringing together a combined house of five children eight grandchildren. A strong tie for their marriage is love and respect for their private interests and the fact both Tom and Teresa are actively complicated in giving back to the community.
Not being one to settle for giving her power to one organization, Teresa has been complicated with Ballet West, Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company, Living Planet Aquarium, Audiologist Association, Nawbo (National association of Women firm Owners) and assorted room of industry organizations. She is positively convinced that being able to review both in one-on-one and communal situations is principal to achieving the many outcome when it relates to raising money for an organization.
Not one to let go of her dreams, Teresa was also convinced that an improved smile would directly impact her trust level. Although she had the desire to have her smile cosmetically improved, the cost was still a huge consideration.
What first sparked Teresa’s interest in a smile makeover were pictures of population who didn’t have inevitable black lines near their gum lines. She also had a inevitable taste of aluminum in her mouth. Having been to countless dentists over the years not one of them ever took time to elucidate what this was about. That is until she was introduced to Dr. Scott Kiser.
Teresa was referred to Dr. Kiser by a friend. She was so inevitable in his recommendations she didn’t bother with a second view even though he recommended she do so. She knew he was fair and would do the right thing.
When Teresa decided to spend in her smile makeover, Dr. Kiser showed her how to make it possible. He helped her to shape out the best way to move send and help her fulfill her dream. Not only did Dr. Kiser address all of Teresa’s questions and concerns about her dental care, he showed her that with a good plan, her dream of a beautiful smile was well within reach.
As with many accomplishments in Teresa’s life, she had to design a plan of performance to settle how to afford what she wanted. One of the first things she did was to prioritize. First, she carefully where she could cut spending. Secondly, she participated in the Wells Fargo Healthcare Spending Account. The agenda allows for having a part of one’s paycheck put aside for assorted healthcare costs. Depending on the program, the monies can be used for vision, healing and/or dental fees. These programs allow you to set aside a exact pretax dollar whole to be used for unreimbursed healthcare expenses. Many employers now offer healthcare spending programs in their laborer benefit packages.
“If someone thinks they can’t afford it they need to ask themselves if they positively can afford not to do it. It can convert someone’s life in ways they never dreamed possible,” beams Teresa. “There are always ways to shape out how to afford something if it becomes a great enough priority.”
Teresa will be the first to tell you that once she made the decision to move forward, things seemed to magically fall into place. She will also tell anyone who wants to know that her Smile Makeover is one of the best investments she ever made.
As she suspected, once she had an improved smile, her trust rose incredibly. She found she was more willing to smile when talking to population and any insecurity she had about what population view of her smile wholly disappeared. She also found her trust when speaking to groups greatly increased.
Teresa has been so pleased with her results she always refers population to Dr. Kiser. Many of Teresa and Tom Bock’s friends are patients of Dr. Kiser.
Although she didn’t always comprehend the point of a great dental care provider, today she will be the first to admit you have to find someone you can trust. someone who positively cares about their patients and won’t rush through an appointment.
“When I visit Dr. Kiser I feel like I am the only someone that matters. And when it comes to my dental care, that’s the way it should be. I didn’t always believe that but today I know I deserve that kind of treatment.”
Teresa also appreciates the commitment and care of the Smiles Dentistry staff. Teresa knows their staff is the best around. With state of the art equipment and décor that is very pleasing, she knows the venture Dr. Kiser has made to originate an atmosphere that will be appreciated by even the most discriminating tastes.
“They positively care about each patient. The first encounter one has is with Vicki. Whether they meet Vicki over the phone or in the front office, it is an incredibly inevitable experience. Complimented by Vicki’s “can do” attitude is an whole atmosphere that is beyond compare.”
“There are population in my life who never knew me before I had my smile makeover. Shock is often the response I get when they look at before and after pictures. Just to see their reaction makes me comprehend how great an venture Dr. Kiser’s work has been. Without a doubt, it is one of the best investments I have ever made. I will reap the benefits for years to come. It is such a great feeling when someone will commentary on what a beautiful smile I have. I cannot begin to tell you what it has done to improve the quality of my life.”
“To Dr. Kiser and his whole team, I thank you from the lowest of my heart.”
