It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Dr. Peter Leighton, a beloved member of the Bridgton community. His commitment to helping others knew no bounds and his loss will be felt deeply.

Dr. Leighton valiantly fought a 20-year battle against brain cancer. He was a co-founder of The Lakes Region Substance Use Coalition. His love for working with patients with substance abuse disorder led him to become board certified in addiction medicine and begin a full-time practice at Central Maine Healthcare.

Dr. Leighton did so much for his community. If you are part of his community and would like to give back some of the love he so willingly shared, please consider making a donation to his GoFundMe page at https://www.gofundme.com/f/2buu8nib5c.

Dr. Shilo Annis and Dr. Jude Jocham and all of us here at Mountain View Dentistry send our sincerest condolences to his friends, family, and loved ones.
