We want to share that the founder of our practice, Dr. Walt Linville, passed away this week after a well lived 96 years. What a privilege it is to have known this great man and a great honor to continue to serve his incredible patients and practice. All the flowers along the back of the building began because of Walt’s vision to have beautiful scenery for the patients to see. The tradition carries on because of him. In fact some of the plants we have are passed on from his mother that we tenderly care for and overwinter each year. His deep commitment to his patients, family and community has left an indelible mark on everyone who knew him. Walt always served others with such compassion and detail and was not only an amazing dentist (whose work I still see to this day) but a wonderful mentor and friend. To know him was to love him. We will miss you, Dr. Linville.
