Dr. Rick Lane
After nearly 40 years of practicing dentistry, Dr. Rick Lane retired in July 2022. Upon his retirement, Dr. Serrano joined the team and rebranded the office to Alma Dental Care. While the name of the practice has changed, the mission behind our work remains the same. We want to thank Dr. Lane for serving the Petaluma community for so many years, and we hope he enjoys retirement!
