Thank you visiting my Blog.

Maintaining a busy dental practice usually means I don’t get home until 8 or 9 pm. I work hard and love what I do.

A small business like mine needs advertising. I have advertised in the Paradise Page Yellow Pages since the company started in Hawaii. This is the only year that the picture quality really suffered.

Please judge for yourself. I feel that the poor quality of this ad seen on p.382 of the 2007 - 2008 Paradise Pages does not justify the $10,000 bill I received.

Head decapitation. I told them to blur background.
Fat head! Picture was stretched wider than it is.


Sample Ad, 2007 Book

This is an actual ad. This is what I expected my ad to look like.


I worked very hard to get a quality ad to the company. The Paradise Pages were too busy to service me with this ad. Over 25 phone calls and emails to my rep. concerning pre-production ad concerns went unanswered.

Please give me an honest, unbiased comment on the above. Here are some simple suggestions. Have you seen the Paradise Page Ad? How do you rate this ad on a scale of 1=poor to 5=excellent. Do you use the Paradise Pages?
