What is Happening Around Pike Creek Dental?
Our Office is Growing...
Please welcome: Serena
Serena (Dental Assistant) – Serena attended the Delcastle dental assisting night program to get her certification, on the weekends she is a waitress at pizza by Elizabeth’s and has been with them for four years. She enjoys spending her free time at the beach with her friends and family and loves to be with her cat Twiggy.
Construction Has Begun Here at Pike Creek Dental!
Our doctors and design team took months to come up with our state-of-the-art transformation to better serve our patients. In seven months time the office will be completely renovated and we will be one phenomenal office. We feel that it is important to keep our patients informed during every phase of construction. A few walls have already come down and currently we do not have a real waiting area. We are asking patients to stay in their car and call the office to let the front desk know they are here. We have a few temporary work stations set up to help with check in’s. Another priority of ours is making sure the construction crew is following all COVID-19 protocols and sanitizing after every day of construction.
Just a friendly reminder, we ask that you provide us with 24 hours notice of cancellation for any appointments
