To My Dear Patients
FROM DR. MORDECAI LIGHTMAN
I hope this letter finds you healthy and happy.
This is both a farewell and an introduction...
After much thought and contemplation, I have decided to retire. This has been one of the most difficult decisions of my life. I thoroughly enjoy my work. I treasure my patients. It has been a wonderful career; I've had the privilege to work with many dental professionals in a variety of settings, teaching and learning from one another. Many of you have been with me for decades, through several office relocations; your loyalty during these moves has touched me deeply; I am honored by your trust in me. You have treated me with kindness and respect, and hope that you have felt the same from me in return.
​
The official date of my retirement and transfer of my practice to Dr. Bougher is 03 April 2023. After many discussions with Dr.Bougher, he has shown me that he has the knowledge, skill and compassion to help my patients with their dental care. I feel most confident in his abilities as a kind and caring clinician.
I will not be 'disappearing.' I will be assisting Dr. Bougher and you in order to make this transition smooth.
It is with heartfelt gratitude that I thank you for allowing me to provide your dental care over the past 40+ years. I hope to see you around town. Please feel free to call, text, or email me with any questions or concerns, or just to say "Hello."
​
Deepest regards
Mordecai
INTRODUCING DR. MARCEL BOUGHER
The search for a dentist with whom to entrust my dear patients was not an easy one. Foremost in my mind was the desire to find a well-educated, skilled practitioner whose philosophy closely matched mine. I looked for an office that was warm and friendly; one that would value my patients, and give them the time and attention they deserve. I also looked for a balance of youth and experience...Someone that had been in practice for a number of years, yet young enough to serve my patients, their families, friends, and referrals for many years to come. I am confident that I have found all of these qualities in Dr. Marcel Bougher and his office staff.
Dr. Bougher shares my philosophy of preserving the integrity of the tooth structure, informing patients of their treatment options, and providing quality dental work that is durable and aesthetically pleasing.
​
A native of San Diego and a graduate of the esteemed Loma Linda University School of Dentistry, Dr.Bougher has been in practice since his graduation in the year 2000, and at his current location for 15 years.
​
The office is warm and welcoming, his staff is pleasant, knowledgeable, and dedicated. I feel it offers the best possible atmosphere for my patients.
​
Dr. Bougher is a fan of film noir, 1930s & 1940s mysteries, pop culture, music, an avid reader, loves 'family time'...and wait until you see his LEGO collection, on display in the office!
