Memorial day and getting ready for summer

  • Zammitti & Gidaly Orthodontics
  • May 22, 2013

Memorial Day didn’t become an official holiday until 1971, but Americans started gathering annually in the spring to remember those who lost their lives in war during the 1860s, right after the Civil War. Celebrated on the last Monday in May, people still decorate the grave sites of war veterans and hold memorial services, but Memorial Day has also evolved into a day that signifies the beginning of summer.

During the summer months, many people take road trips to visit family members. Some head off to the airport to enjoy a long-awaited vacation far away, while others look forward to spending time with friends and family at home. However you spend Memorial Day and the subsequent summer months, there are a few things you can take care of to ensure your summertime is enjoyable.

Checklist for an Enjoyable Summer

  • Have the AC Checked. During the hottest days of summer, many families find themselves sweating it out due to a broken air conditioning system. Be proactive so you can avoid waiting for hours or days because the HVAC repair person is booked solid. Have your air conditioning system checked before or around Memorial Day each year.
  • Ensure Security While You’re Away. When you leave for vacation, the last thing you should have to worry about is the security of your home. Install a home security system, if possible, and put a timer on your lights so they go on and off at normal hours. You can also alert your local police department that you’ll be gone, and ask them to drive by your house once in a while to make sure everything is okay.
  • Visit Dr. Sal Zammitti Before Vacation. Many people put off school-related or annual health exams until after summer vacation. Avoid the crowds and make sure your physical and oral health are in top shape prior to vacation time so there are no unpleasant surprises.
  • Plan Your Memorial Day Traditions. Whether you host a barbecue in the Concorde, NC area or beyond, gather for the parade, or spend time at a loved one’s grave site, plan your Memorial Day happenings in advance so those you wish to include can be there.

Our team at Zammitti Orthodontics wants you to look forward to Memorial Day and the days of summer by preparing to spend the time safely and comfortably. As you plan ahead, take care of your health and secure your home, you can place your focus on creating memories with family members and friends while enjoying your favorite Memorial Day traditions.

Laura C.
This team truly takes care of people. Karen was so kind and one of the most knowledgeable people I’ve ever been helped by at an office. She was able to answer a lot of detailed questions not only about options, processes annd procedures, but also complex insurance changes and difficult timing I needed to navigate. She gave me a clear and transparent quote with ease. Both Karen and Dr. Gidaly are also very compassionate and went out of their way to help me problem-solve another dental issue I was having that had nothing to do with the work they had signed on to do. Dr. Gidaly went as far as calling me from his personal cell when he was off to check in, answer questions, help come up with a plan and let me know that I could reach out to him at any time. It can be really hard to find providers who are both highly skilled AND compassionate. This office is both. Highly recommend!!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Laura! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Karen and Dr. Gidaly. Our team is dedicated to providing compassionate and knowledgeable care. We appreciate your recommendation!

Tahara E.
I had such a positive experience during my visit yesterday with Dr. Zammitti, thanks in large part to Coco’s incredible customer service. From the moment I arrived, Coco made me feel genuinely cared for and completely at ease. She took the time to walk me through my treatment plan options with so much clarity and compassion, which I truly appreciated.

I came into the office feeling frustrated and discouraged with my Invisalign progress—it felt like my teeth wasn’t shifting. But after meeting with Coco and Dr. Zammitti, that worry melted away. They listened to my concerns and reassured me with a thoughtful plan to move things in the right direction. Now, with the decision to add more trays, I feel hopeful and confident again.

I can’t recommend Zammitti and Gidaly Orthodontics enough. Their care goes beyond just treatment—they truly see and support you.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're thrilled to know that Coco and Dr. Zammitti were able to provide clarity and support during your visit. Your confidence means so much to us!

I had such an amazing experience yesterday that I just had to share! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm welcome. Coco assisted me during my visit, and she was absolutely fantastic. Her positive energy and friendly personality truly lit up the room. She was not only welcoming but also incredibly knowledgeable, which instantly put me at ease about my teeth. I genuinely felt comfortable and well cared for. A huge shoutout to Dr. Zammitti as well, talking with him gave me total confidence that I was in great hands. Thank you all so much!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled you had an amazing experience. Coco and Dr. Zammitti appreciate your kind words. We look forward to seeing you at your next visit!

My 10 yr old son is a patient and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. Dr. Gidaly communicates with kids well and helped us with the apprehension of the process. He was able to put my son’s concerns to rest and explained what all to expect. His staff is all wonderful too! I highly recommend Dr. Gidaly and his office.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that Dr. Gidaly was able to ease your son’s apprehensions and provide a positive experience.
