Meet Our Doctor
Dr. Deborah Griffin loves giving her patients beautiful, healthy smiles! She lives in Ellington with her husband, Christopher, and their boys (human and canine) :). When she's not perfecting smiles, you can find her spending time with her family on hikes, skiing or light saber dueling. If you love Disney and especially Star Wars, you will be her best friend!
Fun Fact: Dr. Griffin majored in Zoology at Connecticut College before she went to dental school at Tufts University.
