A new chapter at Graceville Dental 🤍
After many years caring for the Graceville community, Dr Ken Martin has made an important decision.
But before we tell you what it is, there’s one thing he wants his patients to know:
Ken isn’t leaving. And Debbie is still here!
He has sold Graceville Dental Practice, but will continue doing what he loves, caring for his patients, while making a little more time to enjoy life outside of dentistry.
And there’s a lovely full-circle story behind who he chose to take over.
Dr Barbara Szylkarski first worked alongside Ken at Graceville Dental, back in 2005.
Since then, Barbara has owned and operated her own dental practice in the city. Having sold that practice, she wanted to return to the suburbs and particularly to the community she knows so well.
Barbara grew up in Graceville, lives locally, and more than 20 years later is returning to the practice where she once worked with Ken, this time as its owner.
For Barbara, taking over Graceville Dental isn’t about changing what patients have loved for so many years. It’s about preserving its character, its values and its soul, while thoughtfully building on the legacy Ken has created.
You’ll still see Ken.
You’ll still see familiar faces and Debbie.
And Graceville Dental will still feel like Graceville Dental.
Just with a new chapter beginning.
We can’t wait to share it with you.
