Mayes is the son-in-law of long-time resident and local dentist located on Smull Avenue, Caldwell.  “A lot of my family lives in town and I wanted to be able to work in town,” said Mayes. “Now, we’ll be walking to work.”

Mayes will continue to work with his current employer, Morristown-Memorial  Hospital, Morristown, but will be available at his new business location for both referrals and drop-ins to provide end-to-end therapy options, including orthopedics, physical therapy and more.
