As your clearinghouse for all news about Mark Pikes all over the globe, it’s my responsibility to inform you that one of us was recently recognized in the Fayetville Observer’s special “Cheers and Jeers” section. Obviously, with a name like Mark Pike, you’re going to be in the Cheers section.

Cheers and a special thank-you to Dr. Mark Pike and his staff at Aaran Lakes Family & Cosmetic Dentistry for coming to my rescue, not once but twice.

A number of years ago, Dr. Pike corrected a problem that I had lived with for a long time. Recently when I encountered a different “crisis,” he made the time to see me within the hour.

I want to thank him for always going the extra mile in the most difficult of situations. Dr. Pike truly shows care and concern for his patients. Thank you, Dr. Pike and the staff at Aaron Lakes Dentistry.

Way to go, Mark Pike! Glad one of us could make Monique smile. As soon as I finish exams (Jeers!), I’ll work on finally making a trophy for you and Major Mark Pike. We deserve the recognition. Keep up the good work, dudes.
