Jackson Hanigofsky, DMD
“I consider the word ‘family’ in ‘practice family’ to be very important. I want to treat patients as if they were members of my own family, and I want that feeling to come across during their experience in the practice. This not only should come from me but from those working with me as well. I want to foster that same value of care and respect in all who are part of the practice from front office personnel to dental assistants.”
