We have an exciting announcement to share with you!

We're Having a Baby!

My husband and I are excited to greet a tiny new addition to our family in August!

Spaulding Dental Co. will be closed to patients beginning July 30th through August 8th for staff vacation. Dr. Spaulding will also be welcoming her baby boy into our dental family and enjoying her maternity leave. She is planning on returning on September 13th. There will be a doctor on call for dental emergencies; our office voice mail will provide you with Dr. Remy's phone number.

During our vacation and Dr. Spaulding's maternity leave, we are pleased to have Dr Jill (Hansen) Kinzer staying with us to provide care for our valued patients. We are also excited to announce that Dr. Jihoyn Kim will be returning to our office to help care for patients during Dr. Spaulding's maternity leave! Dr. Kim is part of our dental family and was an associate for many years; she is excited to catch up with her patients.

In addition, we want to introduce Dr. Remy Rogers, a past colleague of Dr. Spaulding's! These three Dr's bring experience and excellence in dentistry to our practice and will provide you with quality care.
