Retirement Announcement

My Dear Patients, 

It is with very mixed emotions that after 43 years of practicing dentistry, I am announcing my upcoming retirement.  I will end my full time practice at the end of June, but will have part time hours through September.  

In the past four decades, I have seen so many of you through the many stages of life and you have watched, and encouraged me through the same. I will continue to consider you all my friends and am grateful to you all for making my career so enjoyable.  It has been a privilege to be your dentist and friend. Your trust in me has been humbling and much appreciated. 

I was very fortunate to enter into a profession that I loved — a love that grew out of meeting so many wonderful people with whom I could share humor, stories, friendships and life experiences. I will miss that most of all.  And while I loved my job, I tried to never let it define who I was.  I had much rather be remembered as a good person, a faithful friend, a willing listener, and then, just maybe, a pretty decent doctor.

In addition to my amazing patients, I have been privileged to work with phenomenal dental professionals over the years. Janet, Cindy, Lindsey, Rebecca and Stephanie are all passionate and caring people in whom I have the utmost confidence and respect. It is my belief in their ability and their decision to 
stay with this new practice, River City Dental, that makes announcing my retirement easier for you and me. 

While they will continue to take care of your professional needs, they will be joined  by Dr. Cory Borer. He is a 1996 graduate of the University of Nebraska School of Dentistry and has been a practicing dentist for 25 years.  He and his family have been planning a move to this area for several years, as his wife Josephine (Dunn) was born and raised in Wetumpka.  I feel extremely fortunate to have Dr. Borer join our dental family, and I believe you will be extremely pleased with his gentle manner and laid back style. 

As I move on to the next phase of my life, I am looking forward to an active retirement: one that allows more time for our growing family, maybe a little travel, a lot more sunshine, and an open mind to see what else the future might bring. 

Thank you very much to everyone who has been involved in this incredible journey. Thank you for your trust, your loyalty, and most of all, your friendship. It has enhanced my life more than you know.  I will miss you all. 

Sincerely, 

Dr. Dale Entrekin
