Dr Art was the best and made such a positive impact on my life. I didn't even mind the early appointments before his hands warmed up because he always had a great smile and an interesting story.

Dr. Art Means was our Visitor Host for The Desert Ridge Chapter of BNI (Business Network Intern'l). He will be missed at our weekly meetings. Art was an important part of our organization and respected by all. I'll miss his "tag" line - "Your family's health is our legacy". My condolences to his family.
