Grand Rapids, Michigan dentist office Van Haren Family Dentistry assumed the practice of Grand Rapids dentist Dr. Robert Bochniak on March 1st, 2009. The merger is a win-win-win for Dr. Bochniak, Van Haren Family Dentistry, and patients. Dr. Bochniak will continue to see his patients at Van Haren Family Dentistry for 6-12 months while transitioning to full retirement.

Finally, patients will experience a smooth transfer of care to Grand Rapids family dentist Dr. Ryan Van Haren as Dr. Bochniak transitions to retirement.
The merger helps Dr. Van Haren grow his practice. According to Dr. Van Haren, “We have experienced consistent organic growth over the last few years despite the economic downturn. Dr. Bochniak’s desire to transition to retirement offered us an opportunity to take a big leap in our growth."
