Closing our dental practice was a tough decision and was not made in haste. It has been an honor to serve the Mid-South for almost 16 years. The answer to this question is multi-layered, but to simplify the response, our lease terminates September 30, 2022 and renewing it under the conditions of the current space was not an option. Over the years, the shopping complex has seen a decline in upkeep from management, and the safety and security of our team and patients were becoming high risk. Finding a suitable location to purchase in such a short period of time in this real estate market with rising interest rates was challenging. Closing is the best alternative at present.
We acknowledge that this announcement may cause emotions to stir with some of our beloved patients. We’ve prayed together, attended baby showers, weddings, birthday parties, watched kids grow up, and the list could go on and on. To us, you were (and are) more than just a patient. You were (and remain) our family. We’ve had tears of joy and sadness thinking of the last day when this all becomes final. We are so grateful for your trust, support, and love over the years and are honored that we had a chance for connection. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
