 Can you believe it- a real website!  It is obvious that these days the best way to communicate with your patients and to attract new ones is through the internet.  I don’t think anyone under 30 even knows what the Yellow Pages are. So bear with us as some pages are still under construction and we will try to make the site useful and informative.   

This winter we started using our new digital radiography system.  The good news for our patients is less radiation exposure  than traditional x ray film.   The new sensors require about 25% the amount of exposure as our old film.  The new Panoramic Xray machine requires about 15% the radiation as the old film machine.  Not having to dispose  of the developing liquids is an advantage and it is good for the environment .  JR
