The American Association of Dental Office Managers (AADOM) has awarded Deanna Alexander the 2012 AADOM Office Manager of the Year Award.
Alexander is the office manager for Daniel Sadler, DDS, of East Lansing, MI.
AADOM annually recognizes dental professionals who provide exceptional patient care and are an inspiration and leader within their practice, according to the organization.
As in past years, many nominations were reviewed by a committee of industry leaders.
"Deanna is a tireless advocate for our practice and patients," Dr. Sadler wrote in his nomination letter. "She is dedicated to doing everything she can to ensure our patients receive the very best treatment and patient care. Deanna extends her commitment to serve outside the office as well. It doesn't matter if she is fundraising in support of important nonprofit organizations, assisting with the Miles for Smiles program with our local Head Start, or presenting the Healthy Teeth program to elementary school children, Deanna exemplifies compassion and professionalism as she quietly changes lives of those around her for the better."
As the 2012 award winner, Alexander will receive a special package provided by CareCredit, AADOM's founding sponsor, including complimentary registration to the 2013 AADOM conference in Orlando, FL; a profile story in AADOM's newsletter the Observer; and $1,000 in prize money.
