Dear Patient,
After 39 years of delivering patient care, it's time to hang up my loupes. This was not an easy decision for me because I feel dentistry defines me. I was a senior in high school when I noticed how beautiful smiles were and decided to become a dentist. I spent 4 years at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst followed by 4 years at the Boston University School of Graduate Dentistry. I worked in Somerville in a large group practice after dental school and learned a lot there. I opened my practice in the historic Hiller House in 1991 in Wilmington and am so thankful the town of Wilmington embraced me.
I can't thank enough my friends and family, my patients from Somerville that followed me and the police officers my Dad sent to me that helped me get started in Wilmington. Of course, thank you to all my patients that referred their friends and family to me over the years. It's been wonderful treating generations in a family. Through the years, I have been blessed with great staff who have been like family that also contributed to my success. Thank you all so much!
It wasn't just about delivering the best dental care I could but I wanted to get to know my patients. I will miss our conversations about family, jobs, vacations and always sharing a laugh. Over the course of my career, I relished the smile of a child after rendering treatment, the appreciation of pushing the envelope to save a tooth, giving a proper diagnosis and regaining someone's smile and function.
I am hoping you will welcome Dr Karneet Kaur who is looking forward to providing dental care to you as your new dentist. We have similar philosophies which I hope will allow for continued success at 299 Main Street.
It's time for me to spend more time in Ogunquit, Maine, catch up on my reading, travel to places on my bucket list, get more active again and increase my time with family and friends!
​
Stay well, keep smiling and most of all....laughing.
