East Ridge Family Dental Moving to Former Kingwood Site

This from East Ridge Family Dental Facebook page:

We can now officially share some exciting news. We have outgrown our little space here at East Ridge Family Dental thanks to all of our awesome patients.

We are excited and honored to announce that we have taken ownership of the iconic Kingwood Pharmacy building right across the street from our current location and this will be the future home of our practice!

Construction started this week and we hope to be in our new space by September. We appreciate all of our wonderful patients and your referrals that have made this a necessity! Stay tuned for further updates.

When Chattanooga's two paper's merged, he became the Crime Reporter covering both the Chattanooga Police and Fire Departments. He was among reporters who were honored by the Associated Press for the TFP's coverage of the 2002 fog-shrouded crash on I-75 in Catoosa County, Dick and his wife, Cathy, live on Marlboro Avenue where they are seen frequently chasing around their three grandsons.
