After 20 years of practice, I’ve decided to retire from dentistry, effective October 1, 2026. It’s earlier than most people expect, and I’ll admit it surprised me too when I first started thinking about it. But I’ve reached a point where I want to give my full attention to some interests outside of dentistry, including being a dad.
Your care at Virginia Family Dentistry will continue without interruption, as Dr. Rick Sykes will be moving to the Patterson location. Dr. Sykes has been with the practice at our Mechanicsville location since 2020. I have full confidence that you’ll be in very good hands between him and Dr. Jamie Denoncourt.
I want to say something that’s easy to skip past in a letter like this: I’ve genuinely enjoyed taking care of you. One of the things I’ve enjoyed the most about dentistry has been getting to know my patients throughout the years. Thank you for choosing me as your dentist; it has been an honor. I wish you and your family the best in the future.
Sincerely,
S. Tyler Perkinson, DDS
