We are pleased to announce dental hygiene appointments are now available at our Barto location! In addition to routine cleaning, dental hygiene appointments include x-rays, patient health history, and oral cancer screenings. Additional safety measures for staff and patients during dental exams include the installation of two Octodent devices providing extraoral aerosol suction and ultra-air filtration.
Our Barto location provides the same quality, compassionate care patients have experienced in our Pottstown locations. The newly renovated Barto location offers state of the art equipment to also provide quality medical and integrated behavioral health services for all ages. By late Spring 2021, a Dentist will join the dental team to provide added services.

Focusing on Pregnancy and Covid-19 Vaccine
If you are pregnant, you may choose to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. You may want to have a conversation with your healthcare provider to help you decide whether to get vaccinated with a vaccine that has been authorized for use under Emergency Use Authorization. While a conversation with your healthcare provider may be helpful, it is not required prior to vaccination.
Key considerations you can discuss with your healthcare provider include:
- How likely you are to being exposed to the virus that causes COVID-19
- Risks of COVID-19 to you and the potential risks to your fetus or infant
- What is known about the vaccine:
- How well it works to develop protection in the body
- Known side effects of the vaccine
- Limited data on the safety of COVID-19 during pregnancy, because it was not studied among pregnant people
Your healthcare provider can help you to make the most informed decision for you! If you are pregnant and in need of Obstetrics services, give us a call at 484-941-9989 to schedule an appointment.

"It's been a struggle, I didn't think anyone cared about me. What y'all did made a difference in my life and caused me to care about myself. I didn't care about myself and now I do. I didn't have anyone to ask for help, I didn't have anyone else. Your team really helped me. You don't know how much this really means to me."
- T.T.
