Dear Valued Patient,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to share some exciting news about the
future of our practice. After careful consideration, I am pleased to announce that I will be
merging my practice with two esteemed periodontists, Drs. Stephen Hutton and Peter
Nordland. This collaboration will allow us to enhance our services with advanced
technology, expanded availability, and improved patient care through a team-based
approach.

As of January 2, 2025, our practice will be relocating to beautiful downtown La Jolla at
850 Prospect Street - La Jolla, CA 92037. The practice will also provide validated
parking.


We are dedicated to upholding the exceptional standards of care that you have come to
expect from us. You will continue to receive the same personalized service, delivered
with the utmost care and attention. You will continue to see the same staff and
hygienists that you have been accustomed to for years.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss this change further, please feel free to
contact myself or the staff. Thank you for your continued trust and support. We look
forward to welcoming you to our new office.

Warmest regards,
John F. Lofthus, IDS
