Drs Anne and Hugh Mazzawi
The celebration is all about the legacy that Dr. Hugh and Dr. Anne left for their five children and nephew who practice dentistry there today.
Mazzawi Dentistry came to Snellville in 1967, but the family origin really goes back to 1945 when Stella Cown, a young war bride from England stepped off a train at the Lawrenceville Depot with her babe in arms, the future Dr. Anne Cown Mazzawi.
Cown had met Hoyt Cown on a blind date in Bassingbourne, England where he was serving in the US Air Force. After a short courtship, they married. Sometime later, as the war came to an end, Hoyt Cown got his orders to be shipped back to America and his hometown of Grayson.
“It’s hard to believe that Mark, the first to join the practice, has been there for 20 years,” Dr. Anne remarked.
Hugh and Anne retired just before Dr. Megan came into the practice “I didn’t know I was retiring,” Dr. Anne laughed. “We took a couple of months off, and Hugh said he wasn’t going back because he felt our sons needed to be in charge. They wanted to do some different things – things that were more up to date.
“It was a good decision because Hugh and I got to travel. What if we hadn’t done that before he passed away!”
Dr. Darin Wasileski, Dr. Mark Mazzawi, Dr. Matt Mazzawi, Dr. Marty Mazzawi, Dr. Megan MazzawiSnellville was a quiet, sleepy town in 1967 when Drs. Hugh and Anne set up practice in the brand new Snellville Plaza. Now their grown children Dr. Mark, Dr. Matt, Dr. Miles and Dr. Anthea, Dr. Marty, Dr. Megan and nephew Dr. Darin Wasileski have taken the practice to new heights and will continue the legacy begun by Dr. Hugh and Dr. Anne 50 years ago
“My parents had a grand plan that their children would continue their legacy,” said Dr. Marty. “It has come to fruition, and the celebration is to show our appreciation for them and our patients, past and present.”
