Information for patients of Dr. John Keohan

Dr. John Keohan practiced dentistry in East Cambridge for many years, and recently retired in July of 2013. Dr. Wagner and Smiles By Rosie have acquired all of Dr. Keohan's records and warmly welcome his patients to join her practice for their continued dental care. We look forward to meeting all of you!

From Dr. Keohan:

After many happy and rewarding years in practice, the time has come to close up shop at 310 Cambridge Street and begin the next stage of my life. The decision to retire is bittersweet, and though I'm looking forward to spending more time with family, I'm going to miss the many happy memories of working with all of you over the years. I'd like to thank each one of my patients for trusting in my clinical skills and making my dental office the happy community it's always been. I've worked and grown with many of you for decades, and though the transition is a happy one, I'm sad to be saying goodbye.

I'm very pleased to announce that I have partnered with Dr. Rosie Wagner, who will be accepting all of my patients into her dental practice, Smiles By Rosie Family Dentistry. I've known Dr. Wagner for years and feel that she and I share the same philosophy towards patient care and I have every confidence that you will feel at home in her office.

I thank you all again for your time, loyalty, and memories.

Warm Regards,

Dr. John Keohan

Here are some of the important points of information in transferring your dental record:

  • If you were a former patient of Dr. Keohan's, and have not already done so, please call to schedule your first appointment with us. We will be making phone contact with all patients as well, but this will assist in making your appointment as early and convenient as possible.
    • Main office number: (617) 623-2100
    • Office manager's email (for scheduling and insurance): kelli@smilesbyrosie.com
    • Dr. Wagner's email (for clinical questions): office@smilesbyrosie.com
    • Hours: Monday — Friday, 10am-6:30pm
    • Location: 6 Kensington Ave, Somerville MA 02145
    • Parking: Available for free at the McGrath Stop&Shop. It is a 10 minute walk from the Sullivan T stop, and the 89 and 101 bus lines stop at Kensington and Broadway, right in front of the office.
    • Web site: www.smilesbyrosie.com
  • Your first visit at Smiles By Rosie will be an exam, xrays, and cleaning. If you have an emergency dental situation, such as a toothache, we can schedule an emergency appointment first and then set up your comprehensive exam at the conclusion of your visit.
  • We understand that some patients may wish to choose their own dentist. Please let us know if you would like copies of your record. We will have you sign a release and can then send a duplicate of your chart to you or another dentist at no charge.
  • Smiles By Rosie Family Dentistry has set fees for all dental procedures and these may differ from Dr. Keohan's fees. Dr. Wagner will go over all the fees for your treatment at your first visit, including any copays that will be due for your particular insurance plan.
  • Please have your dental insurance information ready when you call the office. There may have been changes since your last visit with Dr. Keohan and it is helpful to confirm your insurance eligibility before your first appointment.
  • We will make it a priority to accommodate all patients at convenient appointment times and with as little delay as possible. We are in the process of hiring more staff and building another dental treatment room, but it is possible that some appointment times (such as earlier in the morning and late in the day) may be fully booked a few weeks in advance as we make contact with everybody. We ask for your patience and understanding in this matter. We are usually able to accommodate same-day emergency dental visits for issues such as toothaches and lost restorations.
