Dear Patients,

It is with regret and toothache that I inform you that I will be leaving this extraordinary dental office, Andrew Gruver D.D.S. and Associates, effective August 31, 2010. I have started my own practice in Bethesda, Maryland, and I am at a junction where I need to focus more on my own practice.

It has been my honor to be a part of your healthcare team for the past 4 years. I have met many wonderful, interesting people and have truly valued the confidence placed in me.

I am pleased to advise you that we are very fortunate to have Dr. Nick Bennett, a native of Rock Hall, Maryland continue your dental care. Dr Bennett graduated from The University of Maryland Dental School, my alma mater, and completed a rigorous post-doctorate training at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Baltimore.

Thank you for the opportunity to be a partner in your dental care and I extend my best wishes to you.

Sincerely yours

Yutaka Okamoto, D.D.S.
