It is with mixed emotion and deliberation that I am announcing my retirement from dentistry in transition to the next chapter of my life. Most of you that know me, know I have many interests so this likely means I will not be slowing down.

Thank you all, who have given me the honor and the privilege of being your dentist. Your trust and confidence in me and my staff (who are amazing) is humbling. I have been rewarded personally and professionally, and take with me so many good memories and relationships. It is my hope that you know I have done my best for you, and that I will forever consider you first and foremost my friends.

It is also my desire to enter this transition knowing that you are in competent and caring hands. As a result of careful consideration I have found Dr. Benjamin Geleris, whom many of you have already met. I trust Dr. Ben to take excellent care of you. In the time that I have worked closely with him I have been impressed with his dedication to providing compassionate, high-quality care to his patients. Dr. Ben has shown a high degree of competence, and a willingness to work hard to improve his dental skills through continuing education. He and I, along with Dr. Bret Annoni and Dr. Jon Geleris, share the same philosophy of excellent care that you have come to expect and deserve. He is a great fit for this dental practice. You are in good hands with Dr. Ben.
