ARKANSAS ORTHOCARE



“Most people see things the way they are and ask why… I dream of things that never were and ask, why not?” -George Bernard Shaw

Why not, indeed? Over eighteen months ago, our team of senior leaders expressed a desire to reach out to patients in the community in a new way…by providing “pro bono” treatments for a pre-determined number of deserving patients.  The dialogue began then and after much planning, research and discussion, Arkansas OrthoCare™ was born.
 
“We believe that God has truly blessed our practice,” says Dr. Pickard, “and it is our time to give back to the community.”
 
We plan to treat 120 patients per year [distributed equally among the Bentonville, Fayetteville, Fort Smith, Siloam Springs and Van Buren offices] who have “fallen through the cracks” of the “fee for service” and the state-based Medicaid system.  Perhaps they didn’t have enough “points” to qualify for orthodontics through Medicaid or maybe there was a catastrophic event in their family, a self-esteem issue or just too many children for everyone who needs braces to have them.
 
Whatever the reason, these patients have a new opportunity for the care they need.  They will be evaluated on a point system which includes, first and foremost, being a patient in good standing [dentally and financially] with their family dentist.  They are nominated ONLY by their dentist and that is the ONLY WAY the process may be started.
 
The success of this program depends totally on you, the general dentist.  We value your professional and personal input highly and without your assistance, we cannot succeed.  It is your simple, confidential referral that will enable us to begin the evaluation process.

“During the month of September 2006, all dentists who are visited by our office on a regular basis will be personally invited to participate in Arkansas OrthoCare™, and will receive the brochures and response cards necessary to do so.”
-Jennifer Harding, Public Relations Coordinator
 
Please be advised: all communication about Arkansas OrthoCare™ goes through Jennifer.  It is never handled through any of the offices.
