CONGRATULATIONS! West Seattle dentist Dr. George Naden celebrates retirement

(WSB photos)

After more than 38 years practicing dentistry in West Seattle – the first half of that with his dad – Dr. George Naden is retiring. We were invited to stop by his retirement celebration Sunday afternoon at Youngstown Cultural Arts Center.

Dr. Naden isn’t just a dentist – he’s also a rower, runner, bike rider, and skier, and musician. He co-founding the Tangletown String Band, with which he played at the party.

Dr. Naden says he’s not sure what most he’s looking forward to in retirement – just sure that new adventures await. *His practice at 4000 SW Admiral Way has been taken over by Dr. Igor Tverskoy. (Thanks to his longtime hygienist Shelley Lebert for letting us know about the celebration – her work at the practice goes back to George’s dad Dr. Tom Naden, who retired in 1999!)

    He sure is a good dentist. I always enjoyed my visits and the kind chats with Dr. George and Gayle. Here’s wishing him the best in retirement!!!

    I loved working for Dr. Tom & Dr. George Naden.  I was so proud of the way they (and all of the staff) treated our patients … like family and friends.  We are so lucky to have Dr. Tverskoy (Dr. “T”) take over the practice, as he is a fantastic dentist who is gentle, and kind, and takes time with patients just like Dr. Naden did.

    George is all wool and yard wide type of guy. I will miss seeing him at my dental visits but I’m glad he will have more time to pursue his diverse passions!

    Dr. Naden is the best!  I had a lot of bad experiences with previous dentists and was SO happy to find him.  Shelley is the greatest too, she makes my visits actually something to look forward to.Happy retirement to Dr. N!!!  I will miss you greatly.Margo
