Smile For Over 30 Years

Dr. Erik Holmberg - Retired

Dear Friends,

It is with mixed emotions that I am writing to inform you of my decision to retire after 38 fulfilling years of practicing dentistry at Smile for Life. Serving as your dentist in Wenatchee has been an incredible honor and privilege.

For nearly four decades, you have entrusted me with your oral health, and for that, I am profoundly grateful. I have cherished the relationships built and the memories shared with many of you in the dental chair. I especially want to express my deepest gratitude to my extraordinary staff members, whose dedication and hard work over the past 25 years here in Wenatchee have been the backbone of our practice.

My final scheduled day in the office will be December 18th.

I am confident that I am leaving you in excellent hands. Three years ago, I formed a partnership with the highly skilled Dr. Brian Mooney. This year, we were fortunate to bring on an outstanding associate, Dr. Kyle Gurtler, and we are thrilled to announce that the esteemed Dr. Eric Nelson will be joining the team shortly after the New Year. I have the utmost confidence in this dedicated team of professionals to provide you with the highest standard of care and continuity of service that you deserve and have been accustomed to. To learn more about the Drs and staff please visit the website www.smileforlifewenatchee.com.

While I am stepping away from full-time practice, I may occasionally fill in as needed in the future to help cover the practice, ensuring a smooth transition for everyone.

Regarding my retirement plans, I look forward to remaining connected to this wonderful community, enjoying time with my ever-growing family, traveling, and making the most of all the activities this beautiful part of the world has to offer.

Thank you once again for your trust, loyalty, and support throughout my career. I look forward to the next chapter and wish you all continued health and happiness.

Sincerely,

L. Erik Holmberg, DDS Smile for Life Dentistry
