As Lee Ann and I embark on this new chapter in our life, I am pleased to inform you that I have carefully chosen a successor who shares the same values of excellence and compassion that have guided our practice. I have had the privilege of knowing Dr. Deakyne for over twenty years, and he will be taking over my responsibilities moving forward.

He embodies exceptional qualifications and a genuine commitment to providing high-quality dental care.  His dedication to patient satisfaction will undoubtedly continue the legacy of outstanding service that has defined our practice.
