WHAT'S NEW AT STENBERG ORTHODONTICS?
"COMFORT AND JOY"
We are very pleased to announce that, after several years of planning efforts, a much needed update is in progress here at Stenberg Orthodontics. Our goal is to improve everyone's comfort while maintaining peak efficiency during visits here at our office. We welcome any suggestions or thoughts that keep us on the path of continuous improvement.
Phase 1: You may have noticed when entering the building that the Atrium has had a facelift. It's the perfect spot to sit back and relax, enjoy a journey with the "Planet Earth" DVD series, or warm your toes with the glow of a fireplace...
Phase 2: The clinic update has included new clinical patient chairs (otherwise known as our famous marshmallow chairs), side units for our assistants, and a new floor. With some rearranging, we now have more space for Moms and Dads to come and sit with us chairside and keep updated on treatment progress. Oh, we also have to mention the two new flat-screen TV's in our clinical area, showing the latest and greatest family films.
Phase 3: Our Spring/Summer 2009 project involved remodeling our reception area. Our new brushing area was completed early June. It's a sink...but not really a sink. We can't wait until you see it! We've added new wall-mounted game systems -- an Xbox 360 as well as a touch-screen system loaded with over 100 fun and amazing activities. New seating has also been added to accomodate our wonderful patient families, and a 55-inch flat screen television now showcases Stenberg graduates, as well as the latest 'happenings' here at Stenberg Orthodontics.
Phase 4: Winter 2009/2010 will bring about new changes in our lab and sterilization areas.
As our surroundings improve, we understand that the most important factor remains our service to you and your family. We hope you enjoy the changes!
