Dr. Todd Christy is no stranger to growth through acquisition, and he’s growing his dental enterprise once again. Christy’s Berrien Dental has announced the merger of the St. Joseph-based practice of Dr. Gregory Bauman, and the addition of Dr. Bauman to the seasoned, skilled team at Berrien Dental.
Berrien Dental’s oral health practice offers caring, compassionate and friendly dental service to the community at large and is delighted to add Dr. Bauman into that mix as he brings a myriad of experience when the two meld units on August 27th, making it formal.
With the merger, Berrien Dental’s collaboration with Bauman will bring a host of benefits and services to all Berrien Dental patients, including more convenience such as early morning and Friday appointments and the addition of text and email appointment reminders. Additionally, with added experience patients now have the benefit of three doctors overseeing their care, and more state-of-the-art technology such as services that will now include digital impressions, Invisalign and laser dentistry. Another added value in the transition will be more affordability, inasmuch as CareCredit is now available to finance dental care as is an in-house dental benefit plan that covers routine preventative care while providing discounts on procedures for a single annual fee.
Regarding the merger, Dr. Bauman says, “As our cherished patients’ go-to dental care provider, the goal has always been to offer patients the highest level of care possible.” He adds, “Patients who have been with us over the past few years have undoubtedly noted the continual improvement of the practice as we have worked towards this goal,” noting, “Indeed, this most recent change — that is, the merger of our practice with Berrien Dental — is just another example of this continual improvement, as Berrien Dental is among the finest and most-respected dental practices in the area.”
Dr. Bauman has been a close colleague of Dr. Todd Christy and Dr. Eric Balsis of Berrien Dental, discovering early on that they shared many of the same values and philosophies which enabled him to provide the best possible care for his own patients. More recently, it became clear to Dr. Bauman that joining practices would be a “great fit” and of incredible benefit for all of their patients.
Dr. Bauman notes that his practice will continue seeing patients regularly at their regularly scheduled times at the 1600 Niles Avenue office until August 23rd, after which the team will be moving one mile south on Niles to 711 Comings Avenue. The team will be calling and reminding patients throughout the transition period, while also bringing along records to make the process as seamless as possible.
Dr. Christy says that priding themselves on being knowledgeable, caring, compassionate and friendly dental care providers, his Berrien Dental enterprise is focused on one solitary goal: The satisfaction and comfort of all patients. The services offered by Berrien Dental allow patients to experience “maximum oral health” with its team always taking the time to explain all options for any necessary treatment so that patients are able to make informed decisions about what services will best fit their needs.
