I like anniversaries. They help me think about how things have changed ( and not changed ) since the beginning of whatever I am counting. Back in July, I celebrated my 22nd Anniversary of coming to Idaho to start my private practice in 2001. This month, I find it hard to believe that I opened Meadow Lake Surgery Center and Wigod Plastic Surgery Clinic 17 years ago in October of 2006. I still work with several of the same people from that time as well as several more for over a decade. I really value having a safe, friendly, and predictable place to practice and I hope patients have enjoyed it too. With some luck, we hope to be here for many more anniversaries.
