| TIGER CARE | History

At the LSU Health Sciences Center School of Dentistry (LSUSD), we take great pride in the excellent care and treatment that we offer to our patients and the hospitality that we extend to our guests and each other. We take a unique approach to patient care and service delivery, which revolves around an acronym called T.I.G.E.R. C.A.R.E. This acronym represents a philosophy for personal interactions and defines the helpful and friendly atmosphere that is found throughout our school. It is a set of standards that direct and guide all of us in the School of Dentistry in our day-to-day relations. Our goal is to ensure that everyone who comes to our establishment, whether visiting or employed, experience a warm and supportive environment that fosters personal well-being. We welcome you to visit us and feel the T.I.G.E.R. C.A.R.E. difference.

Integrity: LSUSD believes that there is a code of honor that exists among all personnel in our institution. We will always act with integrity and dignity.

Genteelness: LSUSD believes that those employed here are ladies and gentlemen, providing dental treatment, education, and other services for ladies and gentlemen. We always treat our guests and each other in a courteous and helpful manner.

Respect: LSUSD values each person's uniqueness, rights, and needs. We are creating an environment built on concern, patience, and personal regard for everyone.

Compassion: LSUSD faculty, students, and staff will strive to understand the unique perspective and situations of all individuals with whom we interact, including patients and their families, students, coworkers, and other guests.
