Dear Ms. Gianetti:
As you may know, our office is moving to a new location at 1837 Plymouth Avenue (across the street from the Bailey supermarket).
Construction is finally complete, and we will begin seeing patients there on Monday, May 2.
The new location offers twice as many as parking spaces, more examination rooms, and a larger waiting room than the old office on Eastbridge Road did.
In order to accommodate an increase in the number of patients, our new schedule will offer weekend appointments and longer hours during the workweek;
we will now be open 8 A. M. - 6 P. M. , Monday - Friday, and 10 A. M. - 3 P. M. , on Saturday.
We are also welcoming two additions to our staff: Dr. Anne Hui, who has been practicing dentistry for over ten years, and Ellen Howard, our new dental assistant.
For detailed directions to the new location, see the enclosed map.
Please note that Exit 9 is the nearest exit if you are driving on the Benson Highway.
The nearest light rail station is Grosvenor Street.
Dr. Charles Somerville
