Our Team - Dedicated to Personalized Care

We love to see you smile. Really, we do. That's because we take great pride in offering the most up-to-date dental techniques in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. We know that every great smile -- your smile! -- is the sign that we've done our job to provide the highest level of care in the industry.

Dr. Mary Fiedler founded her private dental practice in 1988 and has been helping Orange County families smile for over 30 years. Celebrating the addition of her son, Dr. Brandan Althof, joining the dental team in 2015, we changed our practice name to South County Family Dental, Inc.

Our compassionate, professional staff is dedicated to providing you with the highest level of personalized healthcare possible. We proudly provide care for patients of all ages, and we treat each patient like a family member. Since we are dentist owned - and not tied to a large dental corporation - our primary focus is you!
