A Golden State Tale of High Spirits & Shining Smiles

Gather ‘round and warm your hands – this here’s a campfire yarn for the ages, filled with cowboys and vast imaginations

the dental studio with heart and soul

blazing a happy trail

There’s magic in a child’s smile. California gold in their heart. And from time to time, a wild hare in their precocious soul. But no matter the child, we see the good in encouraging them to live freely, embrace curiosity, and explore their imagination like the cowboys of old would explore the wild mountains and valleys of the West.

We take time to lift these little ones up as they grow. We instill confidence in their spirits and love every part of their imperfect souls. Because Howdy is a way of living, like the ranches of Napa before the grapes. Howdy is a way of growing, like young foals to strong stallions. And we at Howdy believe we can help these little ones “Saddle Up For A Smile!”

Saddle Up

Our Cowboy Compass

values guiding us toward true north

Hanging our hat on time-worn, steady truths to keep us grounded and steer the course.

Growth minded

We embrace a “beginner’s mind”, where we harness each situation anew and stay open to possibility, improvement, and the magic of “what ifs”. At the base of the steepest mountain, we band together to welcome the challenge and dig in to earn the sweeping view at the top. Our deep-rooted explorer nature means there is no end to the learning trail, and that’s our favorite type of journey to ramble along.

sense of ownership

In the face of a brouhaha, there is no lollygagging until another ranch hand meanders by – we roll up our sleeves and set about tackling it. We find proactively solving hiccups along the way tastes better than flapjacks on a frosty morning. Any fence can be mended, and we have the capable hands, persistence, and positive mindset to get ‘err done.

Connecting Authentically

We are all one vibrant human family living on the same wide-open plain and should be met with kindness no matter what horse we galloped in on. We stake our claim on being present, engaged, and building relationships with the same gusto as building a fire on a rugged, frigid landscape. Connecting soul to wild soul is our forever cowboy lullaby.

details matter

There’s no burning daylight at the Howdy homestead – we have our routine roundups down lock, stock, and barrel. Through upholding tried-and-true methods for success, operations run smoothly, with no room for sheep to stray. We also believe small things are everything and stay focused on caring for every last nail in the horse’s hoof…after all, a filly won’t run if her shoe isn’t on all the way.
