Dr. Jean Resnevic joins her father in the practice of dentistry

On October 3, 2011, Dr. Jean Resnevic of Lincoln, RI joined her father, Dr. George Resnevic in the senior Dr. Resnevic's dental practice located at 895 Putnam Pike in Chepachet, RI. She brings to the office new skills and treatment possibilities, including expertise in children's dentistry, extractions and minor orthodontic procedures. In addition, her coming to Chepachet will mean expanded and more convenient office hours for the patients of the dental practice.

"I am obviously very proud to have my daughter join me in practice," Dr. George remarked. "She brings a wealth of new expertise to the office, and there is something that feels very 'right' about working with a member of my family."

'Dr. Jean', who grew up in Lincoln, graduated cum laud from The George Washington University. She studied dentistry at Temple University Dental School in Philadelphia, where she graduated 6th in her class and was inducted into the prestigious OKU Dental Honor Society. Upon graduation, she did a residency in General Dentistry at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, and has spent two years in private practice in Austin, Texas.

"Being near family and my oldest friends is important to me," said Dr. Jean. "Traveling around the country has taught me a lot, but one of the most important lessons anyone can learn is the importance of keeping strong personal ties."

Her ties to Chepachet are certainly strong- and long. She will be working in a building that was built in the 1950's to accommodate her grandfather, George Resnevic, MD's, general medical practice. In those days, before urgent care facilities existed, medical offices like the Resnevics' were a primary source of both routine and urgent medical care. In the 1960s, the medical practice was assumed by Dr. Jean's grandmother, Stan Resnevic, MD., who practiced there until the 90's when she retired. Dr. Jean's father and his colleague Dr. Kerri-Rae Agin then converted the facility to a dental office and started the practice that is there today.

The office that Dr. Jean now joins has been intentionally kept small to offer personalized care, but it bristles with all kinds of d technology, including computers everywhere, digital everything, and lasers and ultrasonic equipment. "While she was in school, I kept modernizing the office in hopes my daughter would someday join us" beamed the proud father, 'Dr. George'.

The practice truly is becoming a family affair. Dr. Jean's mother, Linda Resnevic, continues to be the Office Manager. And Dr. George is not going anywhere either. The doctors have agreed to split up the work week, so that the office will now be open on Monday through Friday. Appointments (for cleanings) can be made as early as 7:20 AM, and as late as 4:20 PM. And the office now offers an expanded range of services. As before, most insurances will still be welcome.

Almost any dental services save the most complex can now be found in the Resnevic's beautiful, patient friendly facility. "People love the convenience of getting their dental needs cared for compassionately and professionally close to home, and not having to travel to Providence, or even Greenville. They also love the fact that we care for patients just one at a time," confided Office Manager Linda Resnevic.

The Drs.' Resnevic office is located at 895 Putnam Pike about a mile east of Chepachet Village on Route 44. Appointments can be promptly had by calling 401-567-0500.
