Before opening the doors to his own practice, Dr. Ronald Griffin had to earn some professional experience. He worked as an Associate Dentist at Timothy G. Nusbaum, DDS, Inc.

This degree was in Biological Sciences. Following this, Dr. Ronald Griffin attended the Ohio State University College of Dentistry. This was a four-year DDS program, and Dr. Griffin graduated in the top third of his class. With this foundation in place, it was time to find a residency program.

He worked with the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh for two years to achieve this goal.
