When they merged, Dr. Sully hesitated because he would now have only half the number of chairs, patients, and income. At first, the senior Sullivan would debrief the younger Sullivan for about 30 minutes at the end of the day to review what they had accomplished and what can be improved upon.

 

Sully would ask Senior Sully for assistance when he needed help with a dental procedure. He wasn’t afraid to ask for help, even in the middle of a root canal, important for patient care.
