Due to the difficulty for our office staff and many patients, we’ve decided to close the office Monday February 8, 2010. We’ll call to reschedule any appointments and apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you for your understanding.

Our office will be open on Martin Luther King holiday, January 18th, 2010.

Friday Hours

To make it easier and more convenient for you, I’m adding office hours on the second and fourth Fridays each month from 7:00 am to 2:00 pm.

This time of year I’m sensitive to a couple needs that people have: 1) to get planned treatment done before the end of the calendar year, and 2) time off for students and others that make it more convenient for appointments.

We are closed December 24, 25 and 31. I will be out the week of Christmas, December 21-25, but otherwise will be available for appointments during my normal office hours.

Many companies and the Federal government offer employees the opportunity to change their insurance coverage and plan during ‘Open Season’. This year’s Federal Benefits Open Season will run from Monday, November 9 through Monday, December 14, 2009.

What does this mean for you regarding dental insurance? For most people’s dental insurance there should be little change, but here are some things to consider. If you have been keeping regular dental checkups, your typical insurance should be fine. If you have some specific needs with crowns, dentures, implants or other extensive treatment you may want to check among the plans offered. In a situation like this, you may want to call my office before you select a plan.

We accept and process virtually all out of network PPO dental insurance (no HMO/DMO plans). See here for more about insurance and payment in my office.
