Our office, since 1971
Dr. Daily opened his solo private practice in 1971 in the brand new Brentwood Center. At the time, there was no Battlefield Mall and many questioned why he would want to open a dental practice “in the middle of nowhere.” My how things have changed!
Springfield’s tremendous growth happened South of center city and eventually the Brentwood Center became one of the best locations and finest shopping centers in the area. Dr. Daily thrived as a practitioner growing his clientele through his hard work, post-doctorate training and developing a reputation as one of the top clinicians in the area. Quality relationships with his patients were a hallmark of his practice.
The fire
During a typical day in the February, 1988, a couple of staff members smelled smoke. Shortly after the building was evacuated because a bunsen burner in a basement dental laboratory was left running and caught cabinets on fire. The building was completely gutted. Dr. Daily managed to continue seeing patients with the assistance of colleagues and decided to stay in the Brentwood Center. He originally was in the back of the building but moved to the front and created the office where we are today.
The Lab
In 2002, Dr. Rosen (Dr. Daily’s son-in-law) graduated from the UMKC School of Dentistry and shortly after Dr. Daily acquired his first partner. The practice grew significantly over years with both doctors practicing full time. Dr. Rosen introduced many state-of-the-art technological advances to the practice. Dr. Rosen continued his education by taking some of the finest post-doctorate courses in the world.
Recently the office expanded its non-patient areas providing for an expansive laboratory, more storage, and a large break room for meetings and education. The exterior of the Brentwood Center has also gotten a beautiful modern update.
Today, the practice still maintains the family atmosphere Dr. Daily created while utilizing the latest technology and treatment options available today. The average longevity of our eight staff members is almost 14 years! We cherish each other and cherish serving our patients. We look forward to seeing you!
