When Dr. Douglas Boucher’s dental practice in Menlo Park, Calif. became available after he tragically passed away a year ago, the offers came rolling in.

Fourteen offers in all were made, yet Dr. Boucher’s staff rejected them all, one by one.

Then Dr. Andrea Yaley walked into the door.

“That changed everything,” says Mary Adams, who was Dr. Boucher’s assistant for 19 years. “Almost instantly, I knew Dr. Yaley was the one. I liked her immediately. There was a special vibe about her.”

Adams immediately called Dr. Boucher’s 94-year-old father, Richard, who was monitoring the transition of a new dentist taking over his son’s practice. “I think we found the perfect fit to take over the practice,” Adams told Boucher.

The staff and Dr. Boucher’s father met with Dr. Yaley, asking her numerous questions, which she answered with joy and confidence. After a few minutes, Adams looked at Dr. Boucher’s father, who was smiling.

“It was a smile of relief,” Adams says. “He knew we found the right dentist.”

For Dr. Yaley, taking over the Menlo Park practice is also a dream come true – for she is not only in love with the area but also dentistry, which is what she wanted to do since she was 13 years old.
