More happy patients at Dr. Scheier's office!

Dr. Mitchell Scheier, serving Havertown, PA and surrounding areas, has been receiving some great patient reviews lately! Check out what our current patients had to say about Dr. Scheier and team when they were asked, "Is there anyone you would like to recognize for outstanding or less-than-outstanding service?"

"Everyone at the office is ALWAYS kind, helpful and friendly. I'm so glad to have a dentist that I like and also feel comfortable to bring my young children to." ~Aiden

"It would really be unfair for me to pick one person for outstanding service. Recently, I learned how happy the employees are and how dedicated they are behind the scenes. Loyality is huge for me, and it's important for me and my daughter to be comfortable." ~Tanja

"Actually, I thought that every single person I encountered at the office was friendly, professional, I couldn't have asked for better service!!!" ~Kim

Dr. Mitchell Scheier honors and thanks America's veterans

Have you thanked a veteran lately? November 11 is Veterans Day - the perfect holiday for thanking and honoring our country’s military. In celebration of Veterans Day, Dr. Mitchell Scheier and our team would like to share a few fun facts about our flag, this national holiday, and our country’s history!

• There are 23.2 million veterans in the U.S.
• The flag was first approved by Congress on June 14, 1777
• Each of the flag’s colors signify different American values- red is for valor and zeal, white is for hope, purity, and cleanliness of life, and blue is for heaven, loyalty, sincerity, justice, and truth
• Research by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) helped develop the CAT Scan, the cardiac pacemaker, and the “Seattle Foot” to give those hurt the ability to run and jump
• Veterans Day, a day that was originally called Armistice Day, is a time to thank and honor the men and women who have served in our military.
• When the flag is displayed next to another flag against a wall, the U.S. flag should be on its own right (on the left side when facing the wall).
• There are five states with over 1 million veterans in their population – California, Florida, Texas, New York, and Pennsylvania
• The VA healthcare system now has 171 medical centers, 126 nursing home care units, and 35 live-in care facilities
• President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the official legislation for Veterans Day on June 1, 1954, changing the name of the holiday from Armistice Day to Veterans Day
• Take a Veteran to School Day is a program that was developed by HISTORY in 2007 to connect students and veterans.
• Veterans Day is often confused with Memorial Day. Memorial Day is a time for remembering and honoring the men and women who died while serving our country, or as a result of injuries that incurred in battle. Veterans Day honors and gives thanks to all veterans who served and currently serve our country.
