Caring for our community for 40 years

Many of you have known Dr. Charles Ditta for years — some of you for decades. He has shared news with his patients, and we wanted to put it here too, in his own words, so everyone in our community can read it.

A letter from Dr. Ditta

Dear Patient,

After serving our community for 40 wonderful years, I am writing to let you know that I will be semi-retiring from my dental practice.

“It has been an honor and a privilege to care for you and your families throughout my career. Your trust and loyalty have made my journey truly rewarding, and I am deeply grateful for the relationships we have built.”
— Dr. Charles Ditta

As I gradually step back from my day-to-day responsibilities, I want to assure you that I will remain available at the office until October 31st. Thereafter, I will be working as a consulting dentist, available 1–2 days per month. My goal during this time is to help each of you with your dental needs and to ensure a smooth and comfortable transition to your new dentists: Dr. Carol Cabello and Dr. Kaísa Ströher.
