Dear Valued Patients,
It is with deep sadness that we share the unexpected passing of Dr. Piiamari Bowers.
Dr. Bowers was an integral part of Dexter Dental Studio, and a compassionate and dedicated dentist with a commitment to providing excellent care to every patient. Her kindness touched countless lives, and she will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
We understand this news may bring up a range of emotions, and we are here to help in any way we can. Please do not hesitate to reach out to our office with any questions or concerns.
Although we are all feeling this great loss, we reassure you that your health and well-being remain our top priority. We are working diligently to ensure continuity of care and will communicate any necessary updates promptly.
If you have any upcoming appointments with Dr Bowers, be assured that our team will be in contact. We are here to support you and will be in contact shortly. In the absence of Dr. Bowers, Dr. Cornish, Dr. Chick and Dr. Lawrence will provide the same high-quality care and attention to your health needs that you have come to expect.
Dr. Bowers’ therapy dog Uuno is being well cared for and will not be in the office for the immediate future.
We are closed Friday, January 24th so our team can process and grieve the loss of our beloved and respected colleague. Thank you for your trust and understanding during this difficult time. Together, we will honor Dr. Bowers’ legacy by continuing her mission of compassionate, exceptional care.
With heartfelt sympathy,
