About Us
Detailed, Quality Dentistry
After 35 years of serving the Triad Dr. Timothy C. Brown made his first steps towards retirement by selling his practice to Samuel Bartlett in September 2020. Dr. Tim Brown stayed on board for a few months to make sure there was a smooth transition for his patients.
Dr. Sam Bartlett has tried to continue the legacy that Dr. Tim Brown began. Any who know Tim know that there were big shoes to fill.
Continuing the Legacy
After taking over for Dr. Brown I can not tell you how many times I heard from a patient I was meeting for the first time "I trusted Tim, and if Tim trusts you, then I know that I can trust you." This is the Legacy I am trying to continue.
I believe that Dr. Brown gained this trust by treating people like . . . well, like people. Talking to them like people, explaining things to them like people, and just being their friend.
Here at Salem Creek Family Dentistry we strive to treat you like friends and family by:
-
Giving quality, detailed dentistry to every patient, every time.
-
Helping every patient feel comfortable and relaxed.
-
Explaining your dental issues in a way you can understand, and then giving you options for how to move forward - you are in control.
Meet The Team
Dr. Sam Bartlett
I received a bachelor degree from Weber State University in Utah. I then attended dental school at the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Dentistry where I graduated with "High Distinction". While I was in dental school some of my extended family moved to Salisbury, North Carolina. After visiting the area several times we decided that this was the place we wanted to stay. We now live in Kernersville and we love it there.
My wife Michelle and I have 4 young children and we love to hike, camp, swim and garden. We are an “outdoors” family and being in North Carolina allows us to spend time both at the beach, but more especially in the mountains.
I believe strongly in treating each patient the way I would treat a family member - being honest, transparent, and relational in my approach.
