When Dr. Wetherill is not busy helping people with their smiles, you can usually find him at one of his childrens sporting events or other activities. In his free time, he is apt to be on the golf course, deep in the woods hunting, or simply in his yard trying to fight the weeds! Dr. Wetherill also enjoys playing coed soccer, serving on the parking and host team at his local church, serving Meals on Wheels once a month, and even helping BSA Troop 13 as a member of the Scout Committee.
The office of Wetherill Family Dentistry is designed to offer our patients an intimate atmosphere, conducive to the personalized care and attention that we give to all our patients. We have intentionally kept a smaller office feel so as to provide a warm and relaxing environment for all our dental families.
