Why Oak Bark Dental

When rebranding her practice, it was important to Dr. Palmer to find a name that reflected the personalized, family-oriented environment from which her practice was built.  The name Oak Bark Dental is a reflection of the street on which Dr. Palmer grew up and where her mother still lives today.  Additionally, for many years, Dr. Palmer’s father served as chairman of the Department of Horticulture at Michigan State University.  Trees, plants and flowers of all kinds were near and dear to his heart and Oak Bark Dental is an ode to his memory.
