Dr. Wendy Widmayer purchased Harry Suckert’s dental practice and became Beaver Island’s first full-time resident dentist in February 2000. The report emphasizes prevention, comprehensive care, and reduced mainland travel, while noting that Suckert’s staff remained and the practice accepted major insurance plans.
