We would like to reassure you that we are looking forward to continuing to care for your patients’ dental needs. Whether you have been referring to Kevin for decades, or for a relatively short period of time, we aim to make the transition easy for you.

We look forward to hearing from you later in the year, and please do not hesitate to get in touch with any questions that you might have.
