Metro Dentalcare Celebrates 40th Anniversary In 2008

RICHFIELD, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--2008 marks Metro Dentalcare's 40th anniversary of bringing quality dental care and convenience to patients in the Twin Cities. The growing group dental practice was founded in 1968 by Dr. David Milbrath who opened his first dental office in Richfield. In the mid-1970s, Dr. Milbrath was joined by Dr. Marcus Gustafson, and today, there are more than 36 Metro Dentalcare practices, including specialty practices.

"The success of Metro Dentalcare comes from our employees and our wonderful patients," said Dr. David Milbrath, Founder and Chairman. "For 40 years, we have listened to what patients have wanted in their dental care experience and we were among the first dental practices in the Twin Cities to offer night and weekend appointments."

Metro Dentalcare offers convenience in abundance. With 36 general dentistry locations throughout the Twin Cities, chances are there is one close to work, home or school. Most Metro Dentalcare practices also offer early morning (7 a.m.), evening (7-9 p.m.) and Saturday appointments. Patients can quickly request appointments online at www.metro-dentalcare.com. And for busy families, the larger Metro Dentalcare practices can provide dental cleanings for multiple members of a family within an appointment block.

"Our goal is to provide not only quality dental care, but convenient dental care," said Dr. Milbrath. "We hear every day from patients who love Metro Dentalcare's convenience. We feel good knowing we're making it easier for them to access dental care."

2008 also marks another special milestone for Metro Dentalcare. In May, the company was honored by the Richfield Chamber of Commerce as one of two 2008 Small Businesses of the Year for Metro Dentalcare's contributions in employment and with patients.

Metro Dentalcare employs more than 700 people in the Twin Cities and is active in each of the communities it serves. The company is a member of the Better Business Bureau as well as numerous Chambers of Commerce throughout the Cities and a participant in community events.

"The Richfield community welcomed and supported our efforts when our first dental practice opened," said Dr. Marcus Gustafson, chief professional officer. "Since then, Metro Dentalcare has opened offices in more than 34 communities and we have terrific relationships with the communities we serve.
