History
Established in 1988.
After graduating from UCLA School of Dentistry in 1988, Dr. Wathen soon became an associate with Dr. Omer Nielsen, and then took over the practice upon his retirement in 1992. The existing dental practice has been in Bellflower since even prior to Dr. Nielsen,(Dr. Garrison) probably over 75 years! We have made a conscious effort to treat patients like family and provide service on an individual basis. We maintain a small, private practice where the proper time can be spent with each patient, to provide the best care possible. Numerous families with 3rd and even 4th generation patients in our practice are a testament to our commitment to maintaining consistent, quality service.
