Growing up in Ukraine Dr. Sergey Gritsiv always had an interest in medicine and knew he wanted to help others. In 1994, at the age of 19, he moved to the United States. After working as an assistant at an Oral Surgery office in Atlanta, Dr. Gritsiv, decided that dentistry was one of the best ways he could help others.
