Today I am pleased to announce that Dr. Patrick Bierdeman will be assuming ownership and management of the practice effective as of July 20, 2020. My decision was based upon my finding the right person to care for my patients; someone who shares the same values in dentistry, with honest options and clear explanations for treatment.
