I would like to sincerely thank Dr. Hourigan for his many years of dedicated service to this practice and the community. Dr. Hourigan started Lakeview Family Dental in 1992 and retired this past June after 33 years in this office. His commitment to providing compassionate, high-quality dental care has left a lasting impact, and it is truly an honor to continue the legacy he built. As he steps into a well-deserved retirement, I want to express my gratitude for the trust he has placed in me to care for his patients. I’m excited to carry on his tradition of “treating patients like family” and look forward to serving you and your family with the same warmth, integrity, and personalized care at Lakeview Family Dental.

Thank you, Dr. Hourigan!
