Dr Roberts joined Dental Health Associates in 2013 and has loved living in the Shenandoah Valley and working with great coworkers. He is currently working to complete the requirements to become a Fellow in the Academy of General Dentistry.
Shenandoah Valley area patients experience exceptional expertise and service at each of the five locations, who each offer a full range of general, preventive, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry offerings, as well as adult and family orthodontia, professional take home whitening, and invaluable knowledge for your dental education. With the latest in technology including several types of state-of-the-art digital X-ray and dental equipment, patients receive the absolute best quality of care available.
“We are so excited to be a part of the DCA family! It is great to be partnered with a group large enough to have the support and resources we need but still feels like a small business,” shared Dr. Roberts. “I am looking forward to our next chapter of growth with such great people to support us,” he added.
This affiliation continues the rapid growth and momentum for the organization and expands DCA’s footprint in Virginia to 63 allied practices, and DCA’s total footprint to over 400 allied practices across the US.
It has been an absolute pleasure working with the doctors and management at DHA over the last several weeks,” stated Mandy Gast, VP, Business Development. “They are a wonderful cultural fit for DCA, excited to watch them grow with the help of DCA’s industry-leading infrastructure.”
