Civil Municipal - July 2024

PASSING THE TORCH It was a sense of coziness that first hooked Dr. Michael Archuleta when he walked through the doors of Black Diamond Dentistry 2 years ago. Like a Norman Rockwell painting, the dental practice possessed a quaint nostalgia, harkening back to an era when small towns and the family-owned businesses that defined them were the heartbeat of America. “I had previously practiced dentistry in a busy shopping district, dominated by chain stores. You start to feel like just a number in an environment like that. I wanted something different. I wanted to get to know my patients and their families, to provide care across generations and to put down roots in the community I live in. Black Diamond Dentistry was the perfect fit. I felt it as soon as I walked through the doors.” Since assuming ownership of the practice in 2022, Dr. Mike has never felt more at home. “We have the most amazing patients,” he beams, “many of which know a tremendous amount about the history of Black Diamond.” The once burgeoning coal-mining town has managed to simultaneously pivot industry and retain many of its bedrock family-owned businesses - no small feat in a rapidly changing world. Dr. Mike feels honored to carry this torch forward, providing cutting-edge care with compassion. “You are never just a number, here. At Black Diamond Dentistry, we’re one big family.” 31527 3rd Ave Black Diamond, WA, 98010 www.blackdiamonddentistry.com We serve your entire family’s dental needs!
