A Farewell Message From Dr. Yasner
Dear Valued Patients, Colleagues, and Friends,
After much thought and reflection, I am writing to announce that I will be retiring from active dental practice on December 31, 2025. It has been an incredible privilege to serve the periodontal and dental implant needs of our community since I began my career in 1983. The relationships I've built over the years with patients, our staff, and my colleagues have been deeply fulfilling, and I am grateful for the trust you have placed in me.
As I transition into this next chapter of life, I want to assure you that I have made every effort to ensure a smooth handover of my practice. Like me, my partners, Drs. Kazemi and La were trained at Penn Dental Medicine, and we share the same treatment philosophy. I have full confidence that they will provide the same high level of care that you have come to expect from our team.
I feel so fortunate that I began my career with our founding partner, Dr. Michael "Sully" Sullivan, and have had the opportunity to work so closely with my friends and colleagues, Drs. Kazemi and La. Look for an announcement about a new doctor joining our practice, as we approach our 50th anniversary in 2028.
While it is difficult to say goodbye after so many years, I am excited about spending more time with family, pursuing personal interests, and embracing new adventures. In addition, I will continue my teaching and affiliations with Penn and Tel Aviv University. I will always look back on my years in practice with pride and gratitude for the many lives I've had the privilege to touch.
Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or if you need assistance with your future dental care arrangements. Thank you for your trust, your loyalty, and the opportunity to be part of your lives. I will always treasure the memories we've shared.
Warmest regards,
Michael Yasner, DMD
