Newly remodeled
Newly Remodeled, In Appreciation of Our Patients
We remodeled our office on Thomson Drive with one thing in mind: you. A calmer, more comfortable space to sit, fifteen treatment rooms instead of a handful, and more appointments held open each day, so a cleaning is easier to schedule and a same-day emergency is easier to fit in. Same team, same address, more room to take care of you.
