We are a preventively-oriented, patient-centered, relationship-based dental office located in Muscle Shoals, AL. Our dentists, Dr. Jim Ryerson and Dr. Derek Weigand pride themselves on how they approach dentistry and care for their patients. As dentists, they believe that their roles can be so much more than treating disease and fixing teeth. They instead strive to achieve a level of care that enables them to completely know their patient. This is only created by establishing a trusting relationship. Dr. Jim Ryerson has always said, "You must make the patient in front of you first and foremost... and the rest will follow. It requires purity of motive and integrity of action." Here at Ryerson and Associates we listen and guide people to make their own decisions, exploring options together while serving as a trusted advisor. If you're looking for a dental office predicated on respecting a person's individuality while offering guidance to help make wise, informed decisions for yourself, then we may be the office for you.
