To My Dear Friends and Patients:

Forty years ago, my dear wife Carolyn and I came to Willows with three young children to be part of this fine community and to provide dental care for you and your families.  We have had the privilege of raising our children here and have sent them off into the world as good citizens.  You are all partially responsible for any success they enjoy.

Over the years, many of you have asked what my future plans would be.  As one gets older, this question becomes increasingly important.  In truth, I never want to stop practicing, as I love my profession and especially my patients.  However in reality, I cannot continue to work at this pace indefinitely.  With the needs of my family, practice and this community in mind, I have been searching for the right individual to introduce into my practice.  The good news is I have found such a person and I will not be completely retiring.

I am pleased to announce the association of Doctor Hani Radaideh into my practice and as my future successor.  Doctor Radaideh and I plan on working together and will continue to offer you the finest and most caring dental services available.

Doctor Radaideh is a kind, sincere, compassionate, family man who has been working as a dentist in the Chico area for the past three years.  He also excels in many of the modern and advance technologies that have come about in dentistry.  He is most capable and will be an asset to our community and the practice.  Doctor Radaideh is an active member of  the American Dental Association and the California Dental Association.

With the addition of Doctor Radaideh to the practice  and myself working part-time, we are able to expand our office hours and increase our ability to serve you.  This will also give me some needed time off to spend with my family.

I look forward to introducing you to Doctor Radaideh and to the exciting changes which are occurring in our office.  I want to personally thank you for placing your  confidence in our office, where we plan on continuing to provide you with the highest quality of dentistry.
