I'm so sorry to hear about Dr. Wildi's passing. I too was a long time patient. He truly was one of a kind. I know I will never find another dentist or human being like him. He also hired and surrounded himself with a wonderful staff. I always felt like I was visiting a friend not just going to the dentist.

May 10, 2015

We are deeply saddened to learn of Dr. Wildi's passing. As patients of his for many years, my mom and I each confirm that even on our very first visit, we felt so welcomed by his warmth, compassion, and genial nature.

We are especially appreciative of the care he provided for my mom, Melissa; providing budget-friendly solutions to her extensive dental problems. Dr. Wildi genuinely cared about helping people and demonstrated this on every visit. We have a deep and heartfelt appreciation for him and the standard of excellent dentistry he established. He will be greatly missed.

We offer our thoughts and prayers to his family and those closest to him as they grieve their loss.

Sincerely,

Thomas and Melissa Conrad
