After twelve years of building a successful practice in New Orleans, LA, Dr. Goodspeed uprooted and moved to Birmingham, AL. Read on to find out why!

Dr. Goodspeed was introduced to Cecilia Diana Johns on a blind date in December 1998 by some Birmingham friends. Cissy was so special and such a great match that they were wed in New Orleans on May 6, 2000. Dr. Goodspeed then moved as soon as he found a suitable dentist to take care of his patients in New Orleans. They gave birth to their son, Gray Evan Goodspeed, 7 lbs., 15 ozs., 20 1/2 inches long, on April 19, 2002. What a bundle of joy! What a blessing!

Once in Birmingham, Dr. Goodspeed looked all over the city for a suitable place to re-establish his dental practice. Good fortune and patience led him to the practice of Dr. I.J. Tortorici in Homewood, AL. The practice and location were similar to his New Orleans practice. Arrangements were then made for Dr. Goodspeed to assume the roll of Dr. Tortorici as Dr. Tortorici retired. Dr. Goodspeed is the fourth dentist to practice in this building. The Homewood practice has been the perfect choice!
