A letter from Dr. Valerie Roth

Dear Valued Patients,

I am writing to share some exciting news about the future of our practice.

After 38 years in dentistry, and having the privilege of owning this practice since purchasing it from my father in 1993, I have decided to transition ownership to Dr. Gabi Micheli, effective June 8th 2026.

This decision does not come lightly. The practice has been a significant part of my life, and caring for you and your families (some four generations!) has been one of the greatest privileges of my career. Many of you have been with me for decades, and I am sincerely grateful for the trust and friendships we have built over the years.

I am especially pleased to introduce Dr. Micheli, native to Kitchener, who shares many of the values that have guided this practice. Like me, she is a graduate of the Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry at Western University. From the moment I met her, I was impressed by her clinical skills, compassion, and commitment to patient care. I am confident that she will continue the tradition of excellence that our patients deserve.

I would also like to reassure you that I am not retiring. While I will no longer be the owner of the practice, I plan to continue practicing dentistry and look forward to seeing many of you in the years ahead. My role and schedule may evolve over time, but I am excited to remain involved and continue caring for my patients.

While change can be bittersweet, I take great comfort in knowing that the practice is being entrusted to capable hands and that your care will continue seamlessly. The team you know and trust will remain committed to making your visits comfortable and positive.

Thank you for your loyalty, confidence and support throughout the years. It has been an honour to care for you and your families, and I look forward to introducing you to Dr. Gabi Micheli and continuing our relationships for years to come.

With sincere gratitude,

Valerie RothDr. Valerie Roth, D.D.S.

A note from Dr. Gabi

I am absolutely thrilled and deeply honoured to introduce myself as the new owner of the practice. I am so excited to meet each of you and look forward to building long-lasting relationships with you and your families in the years ahead. I am committed to continuing the high standard of care you’ve always received here, while bringing my own passion for gentle, patient-centred care to the practice.

As Valerie already mentioned, I am native to the Kitchener-Waterloo area and am so excited to be able to provide care for this wonderful community. Outside of the clinic, you can usually find me working out, travelling or walking my dog, Freddie. My husband and I are also very excited to be welcoming our first baby boy this August. I will be taking a short maternity leave but look forward to coming back to work to continue meeting all of you as soon as I can!

I know that change can bring questions, so I want to reassure you all that our fantastic team will remain the same. The friendly faces that you’ve come to know and trust aren’t going anywhere and all of your scheduled appointments will continue as planned. My top priority is to ensure you feel comfortable and fully supported throughout this transition, so please do not hesitate to contact the office for any questions that you may have.

Thank you for welcoming me into your community and I look forward to meeting you at your next visit!

Warmest regards,

Gabi MicheliDr. Gabi Micheli, D.D.S.
