History

Suite 5 at 3615 West 19th Avenue has been in continuous operation as a dental office since the mid 1970’s.

Some of you will remember Dr Patricia Piller from back then – she opened the original practice at this very location when the building was first built.

I know that some of you will remember her – we still have her original charts on current patients in the practice!

It was her practice that I took over in October of 1984.

Over the course of my 36 year tenure the practice underwent numerous physical changes (new equipment, decor, etc.) but the overall philosophy of the practice remained consistent: personal, caring, one-on-one interaction with doctor (me!) and patient.

It has always been my contention that patients appreciate knowing that they will be seen by the same doctor at every visit, and that the opportunity to develop a trusting relationship with that doctor exists.

I’d like to think that I owe my success with the practice in large measure to that very belief.

To this day we have patients who have long since moved out of the neighborhood returning for their recall visits and treatments – a true testament I believe to the merits of that philosophy.

Regards,

Dr. George Porteous
