Message to Patients from
Dr. Kinuko Kumamoto and Dr. Phil Farinella
Dear Valued Patients,
After 42 wonderful years of serving our community, it is with gratitude and mixed emotions that we share our retirement from Dentistry on the Lake. It has been an incredible journey, and we are deeply thankful for the trust you have placed in us. Caring for your dental health, hearing about your families and life milestones, and building friendships along the way has made our career truly meaningful. We will miss being part of your lives.
We are pleased to introduce Dr. Kumudini “Dini” Panchal, who will take over the practice on October 14th. Dr. Dini trained at Tufts University and brings over 20 years of experience, blending trusted care with the latest advances in dentistry. We chose Dr. Dini because she shares our philosophy of compassion and integrity, and her gentle, attentive approach while nurturing family-centered relationships will feel familiar to you.
You will continue to see the same familiar faces, Erica, Laila and Maggie, who remain part of the team you already know and trust. Together with Dr. Dini, they will continue providing the warmth and dedication you have always experienced here. Your appointments, records, office location, and hours will stay the same to ensure a smooth transition.
Thank you again for your loyalty and trust. Serving you has been the privilege of our careers, and we are comforted knowing you will be in excellent hands with Dr. Dini.
With Gratitude,
Dr. Kumamoto and Dr. Farinella
