It's All About Your Smile!

After more than four decades of dedicated service, Dr. Taylor began transitioning the practice to a new generation of leadership. In 1991, Dr. Robert Kramer joined the practice, ushering in a new era of growth and collaboration. In 1994, Dr. Eric Shirley — a former dental school classmate of Dr. Kramer — joined to form Kramer & Shirley, carrying forward Dr. Taylor's tradition of compassionate, patient-centered dentistry following his retirement.

The practice continued to expand in both size and reputation. In 1999, Dr. David Ditty merged his practice to create Kramer, Shirley & Ditty, LLC. This merger began a significant era of modernization; over the years, Dr. Ditty was instrumental in overseeing a major renovation to the office, ensuring the facility remained at the forefront of dental technology while maintaining its welcoming atmosphere.

In 2003, the practice expanded once again through the acquisition of Dr. William Marfizo's office. Dr. Marfizo played an important role in helping ensure a seamless transition for both patients and staff prior to his retirement the following year.

Another important transition took place in 2008, when Dr. Robert Kramer stepped away from the practice for medical reasons and later joined the faculty at Midwestern University College of Dental Medicine. Dr. Eric Shirley and Dr. David Ditty continued leading the practice with a clear vision: preserving the warmth and integrity of a privately owned dental office while continuing to grow alongside the needs of the community.

With deep respect for the practice's history and a thoughtful vision for its future, Drs. Shirley and Ditty sought the right individual to continue the legacy they had helped build. They found that in Dr. Anjali Shah.

In 2025, Dr. Anjali Shah fulfilled her long-held dream of owning a dental practice of her own. With more than 15 years of experience, she brings both clinical excellence and genuine compassion to patient care. She earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) degree from the New York University College of Dentistry in 2010 after completing her Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) at the University of Southern California. Supporting Dr. Anjali Shah in this legacy is her husband, Dr. Bharat Tandon, who joined the practice to work alongside his wife. He also earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) from the New York University College of Dentistry in 2011, further strengthening the practice’s commitment to excellence and family-centered care.

Today, now known as Blue Mountain Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, the practice remains a reflection of decades of dedication to patient-first care. From its beginnings in the 1950s to its current leadership, the office continues to be proudly independently owned and operated, serving the East and West Shore communities with integrity, compassion, and excellence.
