For the past 18 years, our office has been conveniently located on the 9th floor in Suite 901 of the PNC Bank Towers at 321 Spruce Street in downtown Scranton. Our office consists of 5 private operatories, an X-ray room, business office, confidential consultation room, large air-conditioned waiting room, and a pleasant reception area. In our kids corner we have added 2 WII systems for your convenience. Please stop at the front desk to pick out your favorite games.
Our office utilizes a Kodak 9000 3D Extraoral Imaging System (lowest transmitted radiation) and a sterilization center using both chemical and heat sterilization. We use a high-tech curing system for quick and easy bonding. We also use state of the art computers and printers for high quality photos and digital imaging.
In an effort to make our office a little greener, we are going PAPERLESS! You may notice that our charts are disappearing. That's because we are scanning all our documents and outside x-rays directly into our patients charts. This eliminates the need for seperate paper charts.
