Quotes from Dr. Pavon:
It has been a privilege to treat multiple generations of Portland families. I am certain that Dr. Seyal will continue to provide excellent dental care and services to the community. I have many lasting memories of my patients and my incredible staff. Portland has always been a special place for me, and I hope that I have been able to give as much to the people of Portland as they have given to me. I have confidence that the community will embrace Dr. Seyal in the same manner as they have supported me for the past 34 years.
In retirement, I am looking forward to more frequent travels with my wife and also spending more time with my 1½-year-old grandson. I am looking forward to more volunteer opportunities — outside of dentistry – that will allow me to use my time and talents to continue to serve the community.
Quotes from Dr. Seyal:
Louisville has been my home since 2007. I have degrees from the University of Louisville and have been practicing dentistry for nine years. I am honored to continue the work Dr. Pavon has done for this neighborhood. Most of my career has been spent meeting urgent dental needs in our community – restorations, extractions, and removable and fixed prostheses, including implant-supported options. That work taught me something simple: people don’t just need good dentistry; they need somewhere that will actually see them. Portland Dental Center and Associates is one of the only practices in the city that accepts state insurance, and that is precisely why I wanted to invest in it. Giving back to Louisville isn’t a side note for me; it’s the reason I’m here. Nothing you count on is changing. Same name, same location, same phone number, and the same familiar staff. What you will notice is a refreshed waiting room and equipment upgrades, all aimed at delivering the best possible care.
Outside the office, my wife – a Kentucky native and an occupational therapist – and I are raising three children. We spend our days off cooking together, taking long walks, and piling into the car for road trips. I speak English, Urdu, and Hindi, and I’d be glad to welcome you in whichever language feels most like home.
