Jennifer Siwula-Gill, DMD

Gov Wolf has continued the Stay at Home order which keeps us from practicing dentistry until at least May 8, 2020. While we are closed for routine dental care, we hope you are all brushing and flossing daily, and that you know we can still be reached by phone for emergencies. We are diligently reading and updating our protocols for best practices to keep our patients and our team safe. We have always upheld the highest standards for sterilization and infection control, and we will continue to work through this. God bless our country and our community.

In an effort to keep our patients and our dental team safe and healthy and to do our part to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, we have made the decision to close... our office for the upcoming weeks. We will be continually monitoring the safety concerns and will return to routine care as quickly as permissible. Stay safe. Be well. God Bless.
