I hope this letter finds you well in these continuously changing times. It’s important that we update you with the measures we’ve taken to continue to confidently provide for your personal dental needs in a safe environment. It is also just as important that I announce my impending retirement. The present situation has merely punctuated my decision – my intention has long been to move towards the door after forty years immersed in dentistry. At this time, I am delighted and excited to introduce Dr. Keith Simons, a younger, experienced, and extremely capable version of myself.
I have known Keith for some time and he has my complete and utmost confidence and support. He is a 2011 graduate from Marquette University School of Dentistry, who is committed to the community of Wausau and caring for his patient’s needs. Keith has been practicing dentistry in the Central Wisconsin area for nine years. I have spent my career distancing myself from corporate dentistry, so I can meet your needs as they should be met. With this move, I feel that legacy will continue. Keith and I prefer to concentrate on the same variety of dental services we offer, adopting your priorities as our own in a local and personal setting. We are striving for consistency during this transition. Same phone. Same address. Same attentive and personal service. Just the “new and improved” version of dentistry moving forward. (And he’s right-handed!) Don’t hesitate to call with questions.
Effective this month, we have begun to resume dental cleanings and exams, with the capable help of Gretchen and Teresa, who plan to continue through the transition. As we keep moving forward and work to get all our wonderful patients caught up with their appointments, please understand it will take some time to get everyone back on schedule. We have always held the safety of our patients and staff as our first priority and are working diligently to handle all of your dental needs.
When you come in, you’ll recognize we’ve revised our protocol, as impacted by COVID-19. After extensive research and in addition to our normal upgraded sanitation protocols, we are now cloud-fogging in the office. This is the same method the airline industry is using to sanitize their airplanes. You’ll recognize the reception area is more Spartan, with a barrier at the reception desk. Everyone, including our entire team, is screened daily. And you’ll notice our “costumes” have certainly changed, to provide the safest environment possible.
I expect that as I put a lifetime of commitment to dentistry in my rearview mirror, I’ll be challenged to adapt. But it is your involvement in my life throughout all these years that is precisely why this will be a challenge. THANK YOU for your support throughout the years and I know you will be in good hands. All the best.
Sincerely,
Michael S. Hill DDS
