Dear Valued Patient,
I am pleased to share some exciting news regarding the future of Island Paradise Dental. After a fulfilling 20 years serving this wonderful community, I am beginning my transition into retirement. It is with great confidence and enthusiasm that I announce Dr. Bhavik Makwana will be joining our practice and assuming ownership as of May.
The decision to entrust my patients to another provider was not taken lightly. After an extensive search, I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Makwana last year and was immediately impressed by his clinical expertise, compassionate approach to care, and strong family values. His extensive training and broad skill set—including advanced proficiency in implant dentistry, extractions, bone grafting, orthodontics, root canal therapy, and emergency care—make him an exceptional fit for our practice. Dr. Makwana is a graduate of the highly regarded University of the Pacific School of Dentistry in San Francisco, California.
In the coming months, I will work closely with Dr. Makwana to ensure a smooth and thoughtful transition. I have no doubt you will find him as dedicated to personalized, high-quality dental care as I have always strived to be.
Dr. Makwana and his wife, Shreya, have recently relocated from Texas to be closer to her family in the Naples and Fort Myers area. He brings with him seven years of experience treating patients in the Dallas-Fort Worth and Austin regions. Outside the office, he enjoys reading stoic philosophy, playing cricket, traveling, and spending time with his loved ones.
As I reflect on my career, I feel immense gratitude for the trust and loyalty you have shown me. It has been an honor to care for you and your families. Please join me in warmly welcoming Dr. Makwana to Island Paradise Dental. I am confident you will be in excellent hands.
With heartfelt appreciation,
Dr. Robert Abbiati, D.D.S.
Island Paradise Dental
