Ever since his retirement, Dr. Susan R. Pan and the team have continued to provide extraordinary dental care to the communities. With its 60+ years history, our dental office has earned its outstanding reputation serving Hamilton, Burlington, Aldershot, Waterdown, Dundas, Ancaster, Stoney Creek, Grimsby and their surrounding communities. Some families have been regularly visiting us for three or even four generations. Some patients come from as far as Oakville, Mississauga, Toronto, Ottawa and even North Bay. Some patients are over 90 years old, and still visit us regularly. The dedication of our patients are truly remarkable.
