To the Families of Advanced Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics:
I am excited to share some news with you — my family and I are excited to be welcoming a BABY BOY in September.
As we prepare for this new chapter, I will be stepping away from practicing at Advanced Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics at the end of June. This has been a difficult decision and not one I have made lightly. Over time, the travel from Seattle to practice in Pasco, along with the time away from my family (including our active 5-year-old daughter), has become increasingly challenging. As much as I have loved caring for patients in this community, I have realized it will no longer be possible for me to continue traveling to Pasco while giving both my family and my patients the time and presence they deserve.
I cannot thank you enough for the trust you have placed in me. It has been such a privilege to care for you and your family, and I am truly grateful for the relationships I have built here. Being part of this community has meant so much to me.
Please know that I care deeply about ensuring the high-quality care your family deserves continues. We are actively searching for the best possible provider to take over care and are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible.
Thank you again for allowing me to be part of your orthodontic journey. It has truly been an honor.
Warmly,
Dr. Lauren
