Dr. Chomiak would like to proudly announce the addition of a new associate Dr. Aaron Augusty. Dr. Augusty will take over the restorative (fillings) portion of the practice as well as seeing new patients to build his own patient base. All current patients of Dr. Chomiak will remain with him. He will continue to take care of all of their dental needs with the exception of fillings. Chomiak Dental has been very fortunate to have grown such a large patient family. However, it has become difficult to care for all the patients’ needs in a timely manner. Dr. Chomiak would like to serve his patients for many years to come and the addition of Dr. Augusty will allow us to provide that continued quality care.
