“I’m very excited to be joining the team at North Orange Family Dentistry,” Dr. Griffiths said. “This is move home for me but it was critical in my search to find an established practice with a strong reputation for quality care and a large patient base where I can bring value to a practice that integrates general dentistry and specialty services.
Dr. Bogan has a well-established reputation in the community and has built trust with his patients and staff. I’m looking forward to be a part of this team and the community.”
