Dr. Michael Szikman

In 1977, Dr. Michael Szikman made a bold move to Atlanta from Montreal with a simple goal: to build a dental practice centered on trust, compassion, and doing things the right way.

What started as a small office grew into something much more a place where patients became like family, and where generations returned not just for care, but for the comfort of a familiar face and a steady hand. Dr. Szikman believed that great dentistry wasn’t just about skill, but about how you treat people. That belief became the foundation of everything we do.

In 1998, the practice grew into a true family tradition when his sons joined him, continuing the standard of care he had established.

Today, Dr. Michael Szikman is enjoying a well-earned retirement, and the practice is proudly led by Dr. Richard Szikman, who continues to build on that foundation with the same commitment to excellence and integrity.

Many members of our team have been part of this practice for decades, creating a sense of familiarity and trust that our patients value deeply. It’s not uncommon for patients to be greeted by the same friendly faces year after year, a reflection of the relationships that define our office.

While dentistry has advanced over the years, our philosophy has remained the same: treat every patient with honesty, respect, and genuine care.

We’re proud of where we came from, and even more excited about where we’re going. The legacy Dr. Michael Szikman built isn’t something we look back on, it’s something we live every day.

The Szikman Family.
