Dear Valued Patients,

After 9 amazing and rewarding years at Parkview Dental, it is with deep sadness that I let all our wonderful patients know that I will be leaving Parkview Dental Group. I have built great relationships with many of you and I will miss you all so much.

They truly are such great people and care so much for each and every one of you. You are all very valued and appreciated and will be taken great care of, here at Parkview Dental. I would like to introduce Hannah , who will be replacing my position, as an Office Manager. Hannah comes with great experience and compassion and I trust her to take great care of our office and all our valued patients.

I wish you all health, success and happiness. Keep up with your dental health and your regular care!
Have a wonderful and safe Holiday Season,
