Dr. Batras Smile Designing Dental Clinic

You can find us over at Mission Market on Church Street. It’s number 63. If you know the area, you know it gets pretty lively around here, especially in the evenings when everyone is out walking. The clinic is tucked away in the market, which makes it easy for people to drop by after they do their shopping or grab a coffee. We spend a lot of time looking at teeth, obviously. It’s a dental clinic, so there is that specific smell of cleaner and gloves when you walk in. We try to keep the waiting room comfortable, though it’s not huge. Sometimes the chairs get full and people have to stand for a minute, but we try to keep things organized. Church Street has changed a lot lately, but we are still in the same spot. We have a few regulars who stop in just to say hello when they pass by. It feels more like a community thing than a big business. We aren't interested in being the biggest clinic in the city. We just want to make sure the people who come here get what they need. The windows look out onto the street, so sometimes we just watch the world go by between appointments. It’s a busy life, but we like being right here in the middle of it all. Nothing too complicated, just a local dentist's office. It gets a bit hot in the afternoons, but we have the fans going.
