Hugh David Phillips, D. D. S.

Dental Arts and Science Bungalow
Dr Phillips arrived in Palo Alto in 1931, took up a dental practice on Hamilton Ave, and then opened the Dental Arts and Science Bungalow at 511 Byron Street in 1934. The original building, which was added to in 1944, was practically dismantled in 1951, and the two story structure was completed that same year. Dr Phillips first partners in the group were Drs. Russel L. Roach, Newton L Wachhorst and Llewellyn Leigh. From Palo Alto Community Book 1952

Steven A. Keller, DDS

With deep sorrow, we regret to announce the passing of Dr. Steven Keller. Dr. Keller had been a valued member of our dental group from 1979 until his retirement in 2020. While on a backpacking expedition in the Wind Rivers Reservation in Wyoming with friends and family, a journey he had undertaken countless times over the past 35+ years, he was separated from the rest of his group on September 2nd. Despite extensive efforts by an official search and rescue team, Indian tribal leaders on horses, private helicopters and drones, and many friends and family members, he has not been found. We at the Palo Alto Dental Group join with Dr Keller’s family in mourning the loss of this wonderful man and colleague .

Kelly Chavez

Kelly Chavez was a hygienist at our practice for over 20 years. She passed away on September 7 after a 2-year battle with pancreatic cancer. Kelly's warmth, kindness, and good humor endeared her to both staff and patients alike. Kelly made us all feel like family. Before joining our practice, Kelly had served 20 years with the US Navy, including a tour with the US Marine Corps in Okinawa and a tour of duty in Afghanistan. Kelly will be sorely missed by all of us.
