Dr. Bloom(retired) / Dr. Richard D. Panico - Local Dentist near me

     Dear Valued Patients and Friends,

I am writing you to share some important news concerning my dental practice. After 38 years of practicing dentistry (32 here in Ocean City) I have decided to retire (I will no longer be in the office after December 22, 2020).  I wanted you to know it has been a privilege that you have entrusted me with maintaining your oral health for so many years and I truly have enjoyed my time with you. 

I am happy to announce that Lesley will be joining Dr. Richard Panico and his staff as he assumes responsibility of my practice.  I know you will be in good hands; Dr. Panico has exceptional clinical skills and a wonderful chair side manner.  Most importantly, Dr. Panico truly cares about his patients.

I will be here during the transition and will be working with Dr. Panico during the merger of our practices, to help him know you and your particular dental health needs.  Rest assured Lesley will still be here to provide the level of personalized care that you have come to expect.  Over the next several months, I will also be helping Dr. Panico in merging our 2 practices between 316 Wesley Ave in Ocean City and 1000 Shore Road in Linwood.

Many of you were not just patients, but friends, who looked forward to seeing each other at every visit. Thank you for your kindness, your loyalty, and your trust.  I hope you will treat Dr. Panico as kindly as you did me.

If there is any questions you may have about the transaction, feel free to call our office at 609-399-0227 or 609-927-4297 and Anna or Terry will be happy to address your concerns or schedule you an appointment. With these positive changes, we will be able to offer expanded schedules and new services, including digital x-rays, extractions, root canal treatment, invisalign (teeth straightening), and in-office bleaching with our combined offices.  We are confident that we can continue to provide you and your family with convenient, quality, affordable dental care.
