R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The doctors and staff at Rodeo Dental and
Orthodontics have distinguished themselves by providing pro bono
treatment to many uninsured youths, and the clinic's efforts in
their behalf are truly deserving of special recognition; and
WHEREAS, Following a crisis in orthodontic care for Texas
Medicaid patients in 2011, thousands of young people who had begun
orthodontic treatment were left in limbo, without an orthodontist
to continue their care; and
WHEREAS, Led by Drs. Brian Dugoni, Saam Zarrabi, and Yahya
Mansour, Rodeo Dental and Orthodontics has since provided services
to some 1,262 youngsters at clinics in Fort Worth and in the Rio
Grande Valley, and the value of their charitable endeavors is
incalculable; and
WHEREAS, By volunteering their time and expertise to complete
the orthodontic work begun on many young patients, the doctors and
staff of Rodeo Dental and Orthodontics have set an inspiring
example of generosity and have honored the highest ideals of their
profession; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby commend Rodeo Dental and Orthodontics for
delivering pro bono treatment to uninsured youths and extend to the
doctors and staff sincere appreciation for their exceptional
philanthropy; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the group as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
